Been delivered another "you were not in" card

[WTFH]

Why didn't you just open the door to them ? That's the ridiculous bit.

No, because that would be acting sensibly, it's easier to rant and complain than do something rational and sensible. You're clearly not clued in to the MO of the complainer.

"I would rather not have my parcel and spend time complaining about not having it, than open my door and getting it"

The response will be "that's not the point, they should do their job", my response to that is "obviously the parcel isn't important to you, or when you saw it you would have done something to get it"

Happens all the time with me. Mrs phones the courier company and tells them what driver has done and to get his arse back there. Usually they come back all sheepish saying they did knock the door but maybe not long enough.

Indeed very true - people are far more interested in moaning about a problem than actually solving it.

Probably the delivery was outsourced to Tata in the OPs instance
