Midlands Wholesaler; selected overnight delivery. E mail from their carrier APC OVERNIGHT, early evening confirming delivery would be by 4pm Tuesday. Their local partner = Swift Couriers. By 4.10pm. disappontingly, no sign of package. Rang Swift, who explained no way they'd reach me that day; am 8 miles from their depot. However, promised an upgrade of an a.m. delivery, WEDNESDAY; some upgrade 12.10 FOLLOWING DAY; no sign. Call APC as still showing out on van. Apologetic, but confirmed Swift would have parcel with me by 5pm. 12.10 FOLLOWING DAY, Thursday; no sign. Call APC as still showing out on van. Apologetic, but confirmed Swift would have parcel with me by 5pm. 12.10 FOLLOWING DAY, Friday; no sign. Call APC as still showing out on van. Apologetic, but confirmed Swift would have parcel with me by 12pm. Finally arrived at 1.45 pm Friday; no explanation from driver at the lost days. Appalling level of service. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By contrast item bought from German retailer Wednesday, arrived Friday morning; thanks to ParcelForce for the UK leg of journey
