Christmas deliveries to workplace

[vickster]

Pretty good where I am, few hundred in the building. They'll even deliver to desk at some points in the day

A friend of mine bought something recently and had it delivered to where he works, unfortunately he forgot to put his name on the delivery address so they had to send an email to all staff asking who the snuggle blanket belonged to

No personal deliveries allowed at our place, everything goes via central stores and they were getting a bit sick of dealing with people's Amazon orders.

Were you too embarrassed to collect it?

I once had to bring the motorbike to work to carry a singer sewing machine home on the back

A colleague used to restore cars in his spare time and was always having various bits and bobs delivered to the office.
A Ford Capri bonnet, followed a couple of days later by a full exhaust system, prompted a reminder email to everyone about not abusing the goodwill of the mail room...

For a priceless Christmas joke, offer her two spades and tell her to take her pick. You're welcome.

My wife asked for a spaday for Christmas, I'll have to tell her it's pronounced spade when she opens it

All my Amazon and Ebay stuff goes to work. There's always someone there to sign for it. Most of my bike stuff goes there too. I have not made the tedious journey to a parcel depot on some God-forsaken remote industrial estate for many years. I highly recommend it.

This week it was a pair of fruit trees - a medlar and an apricot for the allotment.

I've had some strange stuff delivered to my work over the years. Biggest was a petrol generator. Also had several sets of motorcycle slick tyres delivered for my race bike (This was the only one I had complaints about - apparently they didnt look good sitting in reception for an afternoon).

Latest bike sale is due to be delivered to buyers work place on Monday

My bike deliveries mainly go to my mates' place of work.



They own a bike shop!

I have all my parcels sent to work as I know there is someone to receive/sign for them unlike at home during the day.

Had a few rarities - a driver's door for MK1 Golf, mudguards for a vintage Ford tractor, a Peugeot Carbolite frame and a camshaft for Ford Cortina which our receptionist at the time described as a lumpy iron bar

Boyfriend once had two bicycle boxes (the kind you put a bike in to put on an aeroplane) delivered to his office. There were very big and the receptionist got straight on to Boyfriend to come and take them away. When he saw the size of them, he got straight on to his mate (who had bought the second box) to say that he would be dropping it off for him on his way home!

A colleague of mine got a box of assorted French cheeses delivered. Reception rang up to say "collect it now, it stinks". He then brought it up to the office and it stunk up the fridge even after he'd taken it home.

The gorilla...or the spade?

Latter, was thinking a couple of bin bags and some tinsel

And my brother's fiancée isn't a 'he'

The he is not a fiancée

He's a fiancé
