I took today off work because I had ordered a new graphics card so I could enjoy Oblivion this weekend. Shipping info specified delivery between 08.00 and 12.30 so I sat by the window the entire morning. Then, the shipping info changed to “12.30-15.30” so I continued waiting. And I felt a bowel movement coming on.

Knowing my luck, I tried to postpone it as much as I could, but I eventually had to relent to the power of my colon.

And wouldn’t you know it - in that 4-5 minute window, they ‘attempted delivery’ and I now got a message saying I can pick it up after the weekend.

Which is when I start a new work regimen of 6/7. So no Oblivion for me in the foreseeable future.

Thanks Belgian post services! Always ready to disappoint. Never change!

    It really depends on volume of deliveries, area, etc. but yes I’ve experienced the sorry we missed you cards many times knowing for a fact I was home all day and checking the mailbox. Nobody rings. I don’t think they have the parcel. I bet they just say okay, we don’t have time/we can’t be bothered with these ones so let’s just drop the card.
