So near but yet so far. Just when you think the system has excelled itself your hopes are dashed yet again.<\/p>\n

When I checked the La Poste tracking site again a bit earlier, I was told that the parcel I’d been tracking had been delivered into my mailbox. I thought, bloody hell, the bike’s a damn sight smaller than I thought it’d be but when I went up to check, sure enough there was a package waiting for me.<\/p>\n

But it didn’t contain my bike, or even a small part of it. It seems that La Poste has managed to get itself into a real muddle. I have two parcels in the system – my new e-bike and a safety helmet that I ordered from Amazon. The latter wasn’t supposed to be delivered until a week after the bike but it has arrived much sooner than expected and La Poste has confused the two. <\/p>\n

\"null\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The number I’ve been tracking has indeed been for the e-bike but that’s not what has been delivered this morning under that reference because as the following image shows, the item looks nothing like a bike – it is actually the helmet.<\/p>\n

\"null\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m hoping that the error wasn’t made several steps back in the delivery process, that my new bike is actually at the local depot and the postman has just grabbed the first parcel he saw with my name on it. If not I suspect that this could become very messy very quickly \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
