More delivery woes

Actually, just one tale of woe. So far, the bed, washing machine, armchair and sofa have all turned up on time, no problems. But the gym equipment was another matter. Oh, it turned up alright. But the delivery person (I'm making no gender assumptions) simply dumped 3 of the 5 items in our open, without-doors carport in full view of the street, and headed off. No phone call, no delivery note to say that it was there -- or that it was only a partial delivery. Cue phone calls to the company and a weary operative sighing "Not again?" Yesterday, the same thing happened with the remaining two boxes. Admittedly, it would be difficult for someone to make off with two 21kg weights, a stand, and a fairly heavy gym bench, and I guess it shows we live on an extremely safe street, but still. A note would have been nice.
