I would like to have selected a date for delivery but that was not possible unless it was for the next day. Knowing that the recipients of the gift would be away I specified that it should be left at the back of the house in a safe area - the delivery driver ignored those instructions and even when a neighbour offered to take in the gift the driver refused to leave it. As a result the gift was returned and now I have had to pay a further £4.00 for delivery. So, not only was there a disappointment for the recipients the gift cost me more than I had anticipated.
