Hi Carol. While I can understand why a company such as CityLink would
insist on ID, particularly for an expensive product like a laptop, I don't
think it's acceptable that the company can just turn up, effectively
imprisoning you in your own house for the whole day. If tesco can do it at
a reasonable cost, so can citylink. Tesco gives a 2 hour delivery slot and
Sainsburys offers a 1 hour slot. I believe Ocado have a similar scheme.
Cheers
Graham

Ray, I can fully accept that deliveries are made to the cardholder's
address, but you can't always expect the cardholder to be present when you
don't know when they're coming! Often these companies won't deliver to any
other address than that on the card.
We weren't warned of any extra documentation being needed but it seemed that
anything else I might have produced was unacceptable and, as I said, the
driver didn't want to call the depot for another round.
There is also an issue around signing for such goods as often they want it
(only the way they want it) in block capitals etc, in the right place and
maybe more than one signature. That's impossible for some, maybe most, of
us.
Well, what more can I say except that I am well and truly tired of the saga
and I now don't care who knows it!
