Neighbour won't collect his parcel - what to do?

[biggs682]

Give him a deadline to collect else contact supplier that they can collect from outside your front at their convenience.

That would be my answer

I'd just dump it on his doorstep. You've done everything you can reasonably do

Make sure you take a photo when you leave it there. And don't delete your messages to him telling him to pick it up etc. In fact send him another one saying you've had it a fortnight and you're leaving it on his doorstep tomorrow

If sending a text, use *02# as a prefix to the message. This gives you a read receipt, showing the text message has been read. If he reads it.

Well the parcel has "Fragile" tape all over it. And I'm really struggling not to give it an almighty kicking.

Set fire to it and lob it though his front room window.

I wonder if it's something I'd like to have? I'm going to Hitchin tomorrow...

Yeah, but you know, you try to be the good guy. I could have told TNT to piss off, but I did my bit for community harmony with a seemingly simple gesture, and I'm somehow now the idiot left with a conundrum.

I'm going to try TNT tomorrow.

Its a bike. Ride it like you stole it.

Good idea.

Or fire, fire's good.

AFAIK, there is no such thing as a "read receipt" on SMS. You can get confirmation that a text has been delivered to the recipient's phone, but that doesn't tell you whether or not they have opened/read it.

Donate it to a charity shop. If he wants it back it will only cost a quid

It could be a wahoo Kickr, imagine that, get on zwift be great times.

Send it via Amber Rudd's favourite messaging system, Whatsapp. Two blue ticks mean it's been received and read. This assumes both parties have Whatsapp, obvs.

I've called TNT and they're picking it up on Wednesday, I'm going to leave it in the garden for them since I'm not going to be here.
