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.

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.
