Or...waiting in all day then looking at the tracking website to see it says delivery was attempted when you damned well know no-one knocked on the door, rang the bell or left a card.

YES THIS! I've had this happen. I didn't even have a damn shower because I thought if I do, they'll come then. And then Husband gets a notification that his parcel was 'attempted delivered but the place was shut'. Like our house was a shop or something. Que extremely irritated message to delivery company about not knowing where they thought they had been because it certainly wasn't here at this private home.

This actually happened to me - only in reverse (the mail carrier claimed they picked up a package from my house when in fact, I know they didn't, since I still had the package when that email came). I mean yes: a USPS carrier actually lied to make it look like they got their job done. I should have registered a complaint, but as it's never happened before or since (and since I'm very afraid of retribution) I just let it go.

That, most specifically.

They do this at my fucking building all the fucking time. :|
