[...] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had requested that the parcel be returned to sender.

One of the worst summaries I have seen. The article writing is bad but the summary is missing almost the whole story.

I really wouldn't blame it. Garbage in, garbage out...

This is a truly impressively terrible summary. I mean just the fact that the second word is "then" is something to behold. But then the second paragraph switches perspective without any warning so nobody has any idea who "you" refers to.

Also, I mean, the fact that it literally cut out everything that happened.
