it's the retailer's responsibility to get the thing to you. Tell them to use a shipper who can actually be bothered to do what they're paid to do. Sometimes online sellers have shipped things to me via one of the private carriers, and left a note to say the item is in their depot, which is in an obscure part of London which would entail a 2-hour round trip for me to collect. Well, if I'd wanted to spend 2 hours buying it, I wouldn't have bought it online. So I leave it, and it gets returned to the seller. I tell the seller that I will cancel the sale unless they use the Royal Mail to send it, so that if it's undelivered I can at least collect it from a local depot or post office or, better still, they will leave it with a neighbour.
