Parcel Force issue
Ordered a freesat box at the weekend. Due to be delivered today at my work address.
Hadn't had anything by 6 pm so just tracked the parcel and it had been delivered at 10 am this morning and signed for by someone called S Butcher!
No-one called S Butcher works at my company.
Have double checked the address I gave them and its correct and also it has my name on the parcel so whoever this S Butcher is should have known it wasn't for them.
Anyone had this before? am I screwed? How do I prove I never got the parcel?

Happened to me with a wireless router a few years ago. Argued till I was blue in the face yet neither the company who sent it (whose responsibility it was to deliver me my order IMO) or Parcel Force would accept any responsibility. It was as far as they were concerned 'delivered'. Got legal advice and was told I would probably lose.

That's a sad state of affairs. So any Tom, Dick or Harriet could sign for something not intended for them and keep it. What's even worse Lou is that there is someone within your company who is a thieving lowlife! Hope you find out who it is and deal with them accordingly.

No definitely not someone in the company. We are not a big firm only about 20 staff.
I will demand to speak to the driver and he can explain how you get into our building and where reception is. Its quite unique.
Not letting this drop, over £100 to lose!

I think that is really bad. Could even have been the delivery man who signed for it and made off with it.
I think you have to keep on at the company and get them to verify the signature as belonging to no one at your workplace etc and if necessary threaten them with the small claims court.

Worth going asking about next door or at neighbouring businesses.
In our case, the delivery driver was utterly blind and missed the 30ft wide sign with our business name on it and so tried to deliver stuff to the business next door.
In our case the business next door refuses to accept deliveries, so I had £500 worth of NAS boxes on next business day delivery going walkabouts, to be finally be dumped at a post office 10miles away (there is main branch 1 mile down the road
).
My complaint via this eff-up resulted in the sender stopping their contract with Parcel Farce (quite rightly) and using another courrier.

Did you order it from a business (eg Amazon)?
Your contract for the purchase of the item is with the supplier. They have a contract with the courier to deliver it. If the courier has cocked up, it's the supplier's problem, not yours.
Tell the supplier the goods have not been delivered. If you paid on CC, speak to the card company and dispute the charge with them.

I know it would take more time but there should be an option for a parcel to be delivered to a main PO or sorting office to be collected by the actual addressee who needs to provide identity. Postcard to be delivered saying parcel for collection at xxx.
Present system is a joke.
