Despite leaving a 1 star review, next parcel was dumped by roadside

Despite leaving a 1 star review previously, parcel was yet again dumped at gates no where near the house, where anyone could have taken it. Suffice to say - any parcel that goes missing - I will hold GLS accountable (+ my time dealing with it) and a letter will go to the MD. This dumping of parcels will stop. tracking number 21600073396
