Parcels delivered fro someone else - What is the norm??

[Mad Doug Biker]

Any neighbour who does not collect parcels promptly, I don't take in parcels for them after that.

There are so many variables though - I was sent something recently which I didn't know about. I got it the next day, but what if I'd been away for a few days or on holiday... Or I'd taken ill and are in hospital or something?

If you don't know, you don't know. 🤷‍♂️

@Regular.Cyclist I'd never throw anything out, it's not my property. 🤷‍♂️

You mean you have neighbours who talk to you ? Weird concept.

‘All 12 (?)’ in our culdesac had a street party outside at the end of Covid. Not that we had an invite. We just saw it happening out the Window 🤣🤣

I know! My last place I lived at had some interesting times: Arrmed Police Raid Mirfield

Might have been Patrick Stewart related....

Luckily I have good neighbours, to be fair.

Not a problem in my immediate cluster of streets.
We all know each other.
I've got phone numbers for quite a few neighbours, a quick What'sApp we arrange delivery/collection.
I rarely get my own parcels delivered elsewhere, because I have stated a "safe place" in the various apps.
During Covid I was the only one in my building home during the day, my place felt like a parcel depot

I got a card through the door from DPD the other day but they hadn't ticked any of the boxes or filled in any of the fields, so I had no idea where my parcel was - with a neighbour but which one (we're on the corner of a junction so there's five or six to choose from), back at the depot, in a safe place (but where?) or just anywhere.

Thankfully it was with a neighbour across the street and they dropped it in to us the next day wondering why we hadn't come round for it until I explained the situation. I did thank them for their efforts though, so hopefully they would do it again if required.

I never said they weren’t good. 12 houses 11 get invites. Guess where the problem lies 😉
