Got no estimated arrival time

Got no estimated arrival time. No phone call. Nobody rang the doorbell. The package was discovered outside in the rain. It was a bag of plaster. Plaster sets when damp.

Leave orders in view of everyone

Company has lost 3 of my orders. They send an email to say the order will arrive in the next few days, when you request they leave it in a secure place they advise they can only do this when the order is out for delivery. When they send the email to say it's out for delivery and you email them to ask for it to be left in a safe place by the time they get to my request it has already been left in full view of the entire neighbourhood. Today's order was left outside my front door even though it was small enough to fit in the letter box

Worst experience possible

My parcels both had a contact phone number on the delivery label on the front of them but the delivery driver never contacted me instead my parcels were left thrown outside my gateway in the pouring rain, they got so wet the cardboard disintegrated when I tried to pick it up and the contents inside which were presents for my child's birthday were destroyed, I am disgusted and heartbroken that anyone would think that it was ok to knowingly leave parcels in the pouring rain like that common sense would clearly tell you otherwise, would give minus 5 stars if I could
