No feedback when it's even a few minutes due or past the slot time is going to cause problems. Some people might need to get to a shift, a course, to pick up children or care for disabled, elderly or vulnerable relatives etc and therefore paid for a particular delivery slot and deserve to know what is going on. Poorer neighborhoods are more likely to have this problem, if they are in the 1st World or not. Any accommodation that has problems with theft will also have residents relying on consistent, honest timing on delivery tracking etc. I mentioned theft being a problem in some of the homes my ex has lived in. Lots of people need to collect medication daily or several times a week, so, considering certain delivery options are meant to provide information about time, how many stops away etc, they ought to. While some care homes are good with post, some are lacking in that staff don't bother or there is even frequent theft among residents, so again many residents are left taking care of their own post. My ex is physically disabled, in supported housing (prev care homes, hospital etc) and has for years still been expected to look after themselves more than they should considering how much they struggle (brain damage as well as spinal injuries, resulting physical disability etc). While I'm aware that many people ought to have their medication delivered, the reality is that it is a 'lottery' in terms of which areas have adequate services and resources in order to meet the needs of everyone who could do with home delivery. Didn't live with me so I needed to meet them at the care home first. My ex, needs to go to the chemist daily for chronic pain and he often, as said several times a week, needed me to go there with them for physical support. Inconsistent and commonly downright misleading delivery times could lead to missing the chemist, and opiate withdrawal symptoms can rapidly turn into a living nightmare. Ok, so this ignorant comment is like a year old but I think it really should have been addressed sooner considering this is coming from a frigging driver of all people?ġst world problems 'Karen'? That's doesn't take into account that people might need to keep track of the time to delivery because they might have important, perhaps vital daily tasks.įor, example, I needed for years to go to the chemist several times a week with my then partner for opiate based medication for his severe chronic pain (due to upper spine injury years before we met). But this time it's not near my next stop, lol getting pissed just thinking about those. I got one while typing this from a flex driver it's 6am currently, the other is 7 stops away and as early as it is I'm betting another flex driver.īut what actually pisses me off when it happens is being routed back to an address I was at 6ish hours ago to deliver another package I've had the whole time. I'm personally as I type this on the customer end of things I have two orders arriving today and was surprised to see they weren't with the same driver. okay well I'm also out of DWA6 so why didn't myself or the other driver just get both packages. Curiosity getting the better of me I look at the package and see it came out of DWA6. Now the shit that tends to annoy is when I show up at an address and I notice there's a package already there. So basically hitting one side going into that area and the opposite leaving that area. That tends to happen on more major type roads not little neighborhood roads. Here's an example I could have stop 55 on one side of the street and stop like 96 or something on the other. Meh, kinda I've had some routes that were for the most part laid out efficiently I was able to quickly adjust to some of its logic I wouldn't be able to change and complaining would be a waste of time.
