We had similar frustrations with post this morning, though they are otherwise pretty good in our village.
I couldn't hear the postie knocking at the door because of a rather deaf elderly gent talking very loudly to him. I just managed to catch him after the red cards telling me the parcels had been sent back to the depot in Sheffield came through the door. So I did get a couple of our Amazon/Play deliveries that form presents for our loved ones, but only just.
It wasn't our normal postie - he knocked at the wrong door and I don't know his face (the house is double-fronted with two doors, one of which is false but that one carries the house number so strangers tend to knock on that door).
Relieved you got the pressie though, that's excellent news and really pleased to hear it after the hassle you've had before xxxxx
