Lost Christmas present. Any advice

[Rocker66]

City link tried to deliver a parcel to me yesterday whilst I was at work so left it 3 doors down. I went to collect it today but the Russians living there denied all knowledge of it. I have contacted city Link who insist that they left it there and got a signature. So now I have lost Sue's Christmas present and don't know what I should do next. To make things worse we are off to Liverpool in about 20 minutes so can't do any more until we get back Tuesday.
 
this has completely ruined my weekend before we even leave

If you did not give City link permission to leave the parcel with anybody except your address then they are totally liable for the item...

Sorry to hear it Dick..This sort of thing makes me really angry 

Report to police cos it's theft by one or the other.

Did you pay by credit card?..maybe get a refund from them?

Tuff luck mate.

Don't know whats been going whilst we were away but 2 more cards from City link were waiting we got home one saying we have to pick it up before 1800 today the other saying that it is with next door neighbours. however it happened I now have it

good news!! and did you have a good weekend in my home city?

[Rocker66]

Enjoyed most of it including the new museum of Liverpool and going to the Christmas market however in my years of visiting football stadiums I have found anywhere so unfriendly as Goodison park. Normally have a bit of banter with the other fans after the match but nobody wanted to talk. The stewards with one exception were surely and I mean wooden sears in 2012 Come on!! other than that a good weekend despite the trip up being spoilt by a drunk rowdy stag weekend crowd

Thats my home city too...I went to st Georges hall last night for a carol concert....Liverpool certainly is looking very cosmopolitan these days....

The waterfront certainly looks a lot different these days, A big improvement,
Even some of the locals are starting to become friendly :) Pity the Everton fans couldn't take lessons from Man city fans in how to make visiting supporters feel welcome. the atmosphere at Goodison was reminiscent of the dark days of the '70s. Even the chief copper (Bissy?) stutted around carrying an oversized swagger stick ver 20th or even 19th centurary. HOther than that we had a good weekend but I'm certainly no rush to go back there other than maybe to catch a ferry to Ireland or IOM. Of all the cities I have visited both in in the UK and Europe this is my least favourite. I even felt more welcome in Derry back in the 70s despite my English accent
