Had an attempted early morning delivery before 8am, and the usual red card. When I phoned up they delivered next day. On arrival still a very short soft ring of the door bell.

The other day was upstairs working, door bell rings and start going downstairs to answer. By the time I got to the front door the postie was already starting to walk away down the path.

In general they are not bad, but seems best to try and get to know your postie, particularly if you work at home.
