The delivery driver is so rude
The delivery driver is so rude. He was not allowed to bring pallets into the building so we had to unload in the carpark in 35 degree heat.

Delivery Driver Poor Service/Company response
Delivery driver left over 30 parcels outside the school without even letting us know, then just drove off on 23/6/2026. following response i feel i can upgrade this review to match how i feel the company will insure that the deliveries of goods is handled better and feel an apologetic gift of biscuits etc. is a nice extra touch.
