What a week so far, and a story!

 

Ordered two rolls of car builders stretch carpet so I can finish off my new and improved false floor in the boot. Supposed to have been delivered on Friday the 6th, which it did! Only one problem, it was delivered to the wrong address! Now, this has happened a lot, to the same house too. They are close to each other, the number is the same, and the street name is kinda similar. 

Get home after work on Friday, excited that I can finish the boot on the weekend after receiving the notification that the parcels were delivered. I get home and, nothing. Funny enough my first instinct was "lets go see the other house, maybe it went there again". I go there, and nothing 😞 

Dammit, my parcel has been stolen, what a kick in the d1ck. Try calling Direct Freight, no answer, try on saturday and sunday, no answer. Try on Monday and finally I'm through. They proceed to tell that it was, in fact delivered to the house down the street. They sent me photos of proof too! So, we make a plan, I go after work and ask them if they maybe took it in by mistake so I can get it back, if that doesn't work they'd open an investigation. Awesome, no drama. I go to the house after work and knock on the door. I speak to an older lady explaining my situation and I show her the photos. She's shocked, she didn't hear the door ring on Friday about the delivery and swears she never saw it, she's now sad because someone's stolen from her house! Thing is, there were boxes through the window at the front door, odd! So, I tell the lady I'll be in contact with the courier and she closes the door. SHE THEN MOVES THE FKN BOXES NEAR THE WINDOW.

Now I'm convinced they have it, and she's just lied. After all this isn't the first delivery that has gone to that house, and has disappeared without a trace. I have since tried contacting direct freight and I cannot get through, by phone or email. They replied to one email on Tuesday asking for the tracking # and that was it. So helpful. Yesterday after work, in my annoyed state, I go to the local police station for advice. I am helped by a very friendly cop who wants to help, she is honest, says that yes its illegal to take the parcel like they've done - if they have in fact taken it - and that without hard evidence there isn't much she can do. She says "lets try the first easy tactic, I'll give them a call and scare them!". She tries on the registered landline that is disconnected. Heartbreaking! I'm defeated, she says to try get a rego of any car in the driveway and call back on Friday with it, they can use that to try get more contact information. 

 

So, in the meantime I continue trying to contact direct freight, surprise surprise I can't get through. Instead I decide to contact car builders themselves and see if there is anything they can do. Now, none of this is on them at all, they didn't deliver it wrong, direct freight did! I get an email back after like 30 min from them, a bloke (a legend) called brad, explaining that they've managed to contact direct freight and have an investigation started within the company to find the package. All that happens though is they go to the house and ask where the package is. He then proceeds to tell me that he's organised two more rolls of carpet (with very specific delivery instructions lol) to be sent free of charge to me. What a legend! 

 

I still want my carpet back from those those thieving fks though! The fight isn't over! Gonna do a massive sh*t on their driveway
