Have even told Amazon, if the delivery is from them, I will not place the order.

Interestingly, they used to run a large sameday operation then when Red Star went bust (which seeing as they ran a complete monopoly on the most awesome, enviro friendly & exculsive service based on existing train timetables, was absolutely gobsmacking) they bought it. Nowadays, they've effectively binned both the rail & sameday options in to concentrate on overnights...

IMO, my route is a hell of alot better than it was 18months ago 
The irony is that missed deliverys for us are attributed to an ex-citylink van that some bloke parks right out the front of the building (because his missus doesn't want a huge Green/yellow van parked outside her house
) and thus blocking the sign from the road.

On the subject of delivery company's.
Not sure who it was delivered by but my new mobile came this morning.
I ordered it on-line on Saturday night from tesco. Was here for half 7 this morning, couldn't believe it.

City Link have a big contract with Jessops, ive never had a problem with them. Our local driver is spot on, its the same guy all the time.
Once i ordered a camera lens at 5pm on a tuesday, i couldn`t believe it when it turned up at 09-15am the next morning. Apparently City Link have a type of base at Jessops so it went out the same night.

i think it depends on the franchise or the branch manager and the staff at that branch. cardiff citylink is truly shocking. i am genuinely surprised on the rare occasion a delivery via them actually gets here on time.

Been with them 7 years come June
and if I didn't work for em, I probably wouldn't use them either considering some of the tales you hear. Get a decent driver, like me , that knows his round and you would have no problems, but, they'll employ pretty much anyone and most of them don't give a damn.Stara;
City-Link isn't franchised any more, all franchise's were bought back by head office.
Apparently we're in the shit fiancially, so no pay rise. However there was the money available to buy out Target Express, buy back all the franchise's, recently built and opened a new branch in Durham.....

sounds like a step in the right direction micky (apart from the no pay rise of course
) youre not the only one working for a well known company that gets regularly slated mate, i do too.
, although our patch is naturally awesome, it's the city boys that give us a bad name, still, everyone needs phones.
