After the recent SingPost debacle, it seems another person in Singapore has again "just missed" her postman.

Denise Tan, a stay-home housewife wrote to Mothership.sg about her experience with a SingPost postman on Dec. 31.

You can read it below:

At 6.41am they sent an SMS saying that my parcel would be delivered today. I was at home the whole morning, my baby boy took a nap at 9:25am, and so the house was quiet and I was in my room, surfing on my phone. I heard no knock on my door or noise outside either. At 9:58am I received the SMS informing of their failed delivery attempt and I immediately jumped out of bed and went to the door, and found their delivery advice. I went downstairs to see if I would be as lucky as Andy Lau to catch the guy downstairs before he leaves and get my parcel from him. When I got downstairs, the delivery person had already departed from the premises so I suspect they sent the SMS after leaving the area.

Here are the SMS notifications Tan received from SingPost:

Despite being up and waiting since 6am, Tan did not hear anything outside her door until she received the above SMS at 9.58am saying that there was an unsuccessful delivery attempt.

Tan ran downstairs to try to catch the postman but he or she had already left the area.

The delivery notification left behind by the postman did not indicate the time he/ she attempted the delivery.

Successful delivery by another courier on the same morning

On the other hand, Tan had another delivery -- and a successful one -- by Ninja Van on the same day:

This time, Tan says she heard the Ninja Van deliveryman knock on her door at 11:10am.

According to SingPost, postmen are required to wait 45 seconds when attempting to deliver a parcel.

In response to media queries, SingPost said it is not a requirement for postmen to write down the time of delivery.
