Post Haste- unreliable and rude

Just a heads up- this courier company drove around with my item for a week(load and unload everyday I assume) because they could not get to my house.

When I called about it I had the rudest customer service person. She couldn’t help as she didn’t know what was going on. I asked for a call back , that didn’t happen. I asked for the item to be left at front door, it was left inside of fence area next to the road in the rain, and the gate left wide open for anyone wanting to help themselves. Pretty bad service overall.
