I'm still pondering adding a circuit to the knocker so that, if used,
a loud voice intones: "PLEASE USE THE BELL!!".

I like that idea!

So do I. But rationally, if you are going to fit a switch to the
knocker why not make it operate the bell? An additional voice
announcement is optional: "I told you to use the bell!".

Because I could do all that locally, which makes life easier.

The bell push is wired back to an Arduino (and more) on the floor above.

Or make it ring the door bell. ;-)

See previous answer, just made.

Who was the carrier, I expect they gave it to somebody at another address
somewhere.

Many of their drivers seem to get lost!

I'm sure there is a telephone number somewhere.

Been waiting in all day for a parcel delivery, and then
receive an email saying not only has it been delivered,
but that is was handed to me personally, BUT NOTHING
HAS ARRIVED AT ALL.

Obviously now need an email address or a telephone no
to talk directly to a human, but either are impossible
to find on their web page.

Tried using the assistant, but you just go round in circles.

How the hell do I get Amazon to investigate and then correct
matters, for the web site for this item continues to insist
that it has been delivered and there is no option against the
purchase to register the dissatisfaction?

Could you not make one call (successful or not) then request a
chargeback from your card issuer?

They all seem to take photos but often of the package left on the step
without the recipient. That doesn't stop a dishonest driver taking it
away again and claiming delivery or someone passing seeing and taking it.

Photos I've had from Hermes show the package with an /open/ door behind it.
