Worst service I've experienced from a courier

I was supposed to have received a package on a Monday - received an SMS from RAM regarding this. Nothign was received and when I used their tracking site, the package status was "UNSUCCESSFULL DELIVERY IN Cape Town - Unavailable Business - Contact Not Available". I called and they said the courier couldn't find the office to which I told them he would need to call first because there is no way to get to the 6th floor where I work without an access card or authorization from. I was told the driver would be informed of this and call before delivery on a Tuesday - no call came. Same tracking status on their site. I then called again. Came in on Wednesday morning and called the centre, spoke to a Mpumi who insisted the driver had called me and this was untrue. They claimed my number was unavailable yet there was no record of a missed call on my end. When I asked for a reference number she said I must use her name as a reference number. I'm no quality assurance guru but surely any good call centre has some of way to track individual queries than just taking the down the agent name? I then asked to speak to a manager and she put me on hold until I eventually had to drop the call.

Very unreliable service, poor internal processes and *********** personnel. I've used a lot of couriers before but this was my first time with RAM and never again!

They called back this morning saying delivery would be done today and the driver/depot would call to confirm this. None of this has happened yet. Tomorrow will mark a week of waiting for this delivery.

Update: Again spoke to someone from the Johannesburg branch. Seems the issue is incompetence specifically from the Cape Town branch. Typical blaming the customer - they claim my number was not going through yet it goes through fine for everyone else who tries to call me, including their Joburg branch. No missed call notifications from my provider either to verify their claims. I cannot make this up

Just an update - I never received my parcel in the end and just gave up.
