Delivered and Signed for?

Delivered and Signed for?

As my grandmother used to say, "Don't sign for anything without checking it first." I forgot this good advice when two delivery-men brought my new sideboard yesterday. Delivery was very late due to the heavy traffic on the road. I saw the delivery van go past the house and stop outside a neighbor down the street. Then I watched it reverse until it stopped right beside my house. I went outside to look into the back of the van: there was my lovely sideboard among several pieces of furniture! It was quite heavy, but the two men managed it between them. Soon, the beautiful sideboard was in place by the dining-room wall. I had waited so long for it, it was like a dream! It was only when the men left that I realized I had checked everything except the keys. It had been delivered without keys! It was too late to phone the shop, but I needn't have worried because the next morning the keys arrived in the post. I unlocked the sideboard and found a note inside which said, "Keys will follow by post!"
