TNT said on 11 Dec., it would be delivered on 14 Dec. -- called this morning and they said they haven't even yet scanned it on their system. Current delivery says 15 Dec. but hardly believe that.

I need to travel urgently, unfortunately, and this process, albeit nowhere nearly as excruciating as any other step along this process, is a little frustrating but hoping to soon get there in the end.

Supposed to be delivered today, TNT sneakily changes date to another date to 15th.
I’ve seen that in another thread they keep changing the date a few times even.
Bit of a worry as cannot take off days work as they want people to be home by delivery and if to collect at depot I won’t have an ID to prove ID.
