Take a lot delivery guys never contacted me for (COD - package) and now they are saying i wasn't available to take deliver.

I have ordered a package with R95 express delivery fee for COD payment type. Have been tracking my order almost whole day, all of sudden i get "Recipient wasn't available to take delivery, so we'll reschedule" Who told the delivery guy am not available? As far as i know COD, means i have to pay in order to get the package. Where was looking for payment from?? No one contacted me, my TakeaLot profile has an updated contact numbers. I am very disappointed!!!! Reason i payed express delivery fees is because want an order ASAP (today 6/4/18). , and now have to wait for Monday 9th April..
