According to TNT website, my passport was supposed to be delivered on 9 July between 8 AM and 8 PM, but around 18:20 TNT silently, without notifying me, changed the delivery date to Monday 12/07 on the tracking website. (I had a script refreshing the website every minute) I immediately went onto the tracking website and changed the delivery date to Saturday 10/07 instead, hoping I can outsmart them. Then Saturday 10/07 at 10:45 was the only time I received a text directly from TNT saying "Your HM Passport Office item(s) are scheduled for delivery today", I didn't receive it on 09/07.

Passport received: 10/07/2021 14:43 The delivery guy delivered it straight to my flat and handed it to me, rather than leaving it in my mailbox or with the reception, this doesn't happen with most deliveries.
