Deliveries to sites

However, the details are not really important it's the principle that CC Ltd actively won't allow a minor service to be performed.

I am not sure that this is correct ....... are you? 

It is more likely that they give discretion to the warden to say yay or nay I suspect

I agree with David in that "what a fuss" sums it up but, in my view, that phrase reflects the song and dance of posting the tale on here rather than simply accepting that's the way things are. It's not really worth getting wound up about, is it?

Campsites are not always in areas of coverage to receive text messages  or internet connection for e-mails.

Fortunately, last weekend, the pizza delivery was effected as I stood loitering outside the gate at a CAMC site, with no need to disturb the warden   I had requested a call from the delivery agent as they approached the site, in the online ordering portal where special instructions could be left, in order to expedite things and ensure it was piping hot. This technology lark is not exactly rocket science is it.

Wot's the record for posts on a thread? Can this get near to? Sunday departures anyone? 

Hey, why so spiky, David?

Of course I knew what you meant. I was agreeing with your choice of words but using them in a different context. 

There was no need to be defensive as you weren’t under attack. 

Not that surprising really. I had cause on two occasions last year to make similar purchases. 

The charger that I had in the caravan I realised was not the correct one for my tablet and had insufficient output to recharge at a reasonable rate whilst the tablet was in use.

During the same trip I bought Fliss a tablet s well. The supplied lead was a little short if she was sat in her normal position and charging during use. A longer lead required. Both occasions we made do for a day or so and then picked one up on our travels

Letters and cards are happily accepted by the site employees on behalf of  customer. This is part of the service.

Accepting and signing for parcels by site staff IMO is a definite No No. ----- Customers should make their own arrangements to purchase, and subsequently collect any goods that they fancy buying when on holiday.   It's called personal responsibility. 

Site employees have more important tasks to perform to ensure that the site is a pleasant place for their customers..

In those circumstances, ordering on line wouldn’t have been my first thought. So many high street shops and supermarkets sell them. 

I've been reading this thread with interest and, to me, it brings up a number of points.

1  There are few people who don't rely on mobiles these days and I      keep a spare charge in the caravan.

2  Personally I wouldn't dream of asking the wardens to sign for a parcel.  We are rarely away for longer than two weeks and, if it was necessary for a parcel to be delivered whilst we were away, it would result in different delivery arrangements made by us.

3  It was only a phone cable.  Why go to the hassle of ordering it online and having to sort delivery when they sell them in even the smallest shops these days. I once forgot my earphones and will listen to music or a podcast whilst my wife watches the TV. I happened to go into the local Spar shop for a newspaper and found a pair for £1.  Sound quality wasn't great but they served a purpose.  

It does, however, beg the question of customer service.  we are members and customers and sometimes I feel the customer service aspect does fall a little short especially when compared to non CC sites and sites "over there".
