Yesterday (Wednesday) I received an item which I'd ordered through another platform.
I knew there would be a postage delay, and I wasn't in a huge hurry. It actually arrived more quickly than I had expected.
However, the tracking information was puzzling. I received an email letting me know that the item was going to be delivered on the day before (Tuesday). When I clicked onto the tracking information later that day, it said that the item was undeliverable and that I should contact the courier for updated information. The courier, by the way, was Fastway.
I was all set to phone yesterday pointing out that the address here is not hard to find, that there's nothing here to bar delivery (no piranha, no guard platypodes / platypuses with envenomed spar at full mast, no rock-strewn hazardous path leading to a frazzled rope bridge over a shivering chasm up a precipice until the front door is gained), and - in short - deliver my parcel! But then I saw that the status had changed again, and that the parcel was apparently on board with the driver and would arrive here before 8 pm.
It did. All is well. I can cancel the contract with the platypodes.
