Can't you just get a delivery to box-o-mat (or whatever the name of it is in english), or is it just a big delivery?
Yeah, that's it: it's 24 liters of cat litter (it was on special lol), so it's too big and heavy for those..
Why does someone need to be home for that? Can't they leave it outside or around the back somewhere?
Nah, I live on the third floor of an apartment building.
None of the outdoors is on my property and as such they're not allowed to leave it there even if I ask them to ๐ฎโ๐จ
Ah right yeah that makes sense
Is that their explanation, or what you assume? The problem is usually that the seller specifically requested it be signed for. They even have keys to most apartment buildings, so they can even leave it outside your door or the actual building. I've had many PostNord home deliveries left outside my building's door; just need to see that the package allows FlexChange and then request it.
(Or maybe you're Danish? No idea how they do it there)
Yeah, I am. With PostNord Denmark, you have to have a subscription (called Post Plus or something obnoxious like that) for them to be allowed to put it anywhere else than directly to you and even then, it's a specific list, none of which are applicable to anyone who doesn't live in a house ๐ฎโ๐จ
So y'all have less services by default, and yet your side of the company is also losing the largest amounts of money? For helvede Mads ๐ซ haha. Though on the bright side, I assume they're still probably better than UPS or FedEx? If I have some home delivery from UPS/FedEx, I don't even attempt to be at home... I already know that that their tracking will say "we tried to deliver you, but you weren't home" despite them not even attempting to drive into my neighborhood.
Spot on lol. Maybe them insisting on taking over every delivery sent from or even through Germany no matter who, what, and when explains some of the money hemorrhaging lol.
If I had a sandwich for every time a package of mine has been delayed several days because PostNord insisted on taking over from a more competent international carrier at the southern border, I'd have lunch for a week, maybe two ๐คฆ
You mean packages that are originally DHL, or what other companies? DHL is a bit special, because they have many different divisions.
Small parcels from DHL (Deutsche Post) are technically like Varubrev/Quickbreve/whatever name you have there. DHL in that case is exactly like PostNord, USPS, Royal Mail, etc, where they're simply Germany's national mailing division. PostNord in that case is following UPU's rules about "parcel post", and in return PostNord gets what's known as remuneration (compensation) for the transport within Denmark.
But if PostNord DK is taking over DHL Freight or DHL Express deliveries...? That sounds really messed up in that case. Interesting how much they differ despite being in the same group.
Okay. Second question: where are you going to keep 24 liters of cat litter? Granted I'm no expert in communist units (and I'm way too fucking tired to look it up) but I imagine that's a lot, both in terms of volume and weight.
Imagine 12 2-liters of soda. It's a lot.
I have a small spare room that I use for stuff I don't know where else to put or that I can't fit elsewhere. Litter goes in that room lol
Just toss it around the apartment building
Thihi should have gotten a delivery of cat litter today also between 8:00 - 21:00... at 20:00 it was changed for the 31st.
Next day next change.. Instead of 31st they will deliver today between 8:00 - 21:00.. yay..
