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

I chuck it over their fence.

Now we know how you got your name!

Even have neighbours message me if they know we're away and something gets left visibly on the doorstep or at the back gate.

Yes, we do that too here in my street.
Not everybody has an enclosed porch like me, so if parcels are left exposed to the elements/passers by, next door neighbour will move them to a safe area.
Most of us are out working, some of us are on longer shifts or away on jobs for a couple of days.
We also have a local FB page, sometimes I see people from a few streets further up asking who's got their package, usually they find it.

I usually wait for my neighbour to come round. Couriers are always chucking things over my fence for them because of the way the gardens are laid out. I have occasionally took stuff round to them when I hear activity from their house.

I occasionally take items in for my very nice neighbours, and I drop them round when I see theyre home.

Also if parcels just get dumped on their doorstep I retrieve them and drop them back round when they return.

A few weeks ago I watched our local courier walk down the path and turn to our neighbours door. I expected him to ask us to take it in as there were no cars on their driveway so opened our door in expectation. I then heard him chatting to someone and then watched him carry the package back to his van. Evidently he'd been chatting to the neighbour via her wireless doorbell while she was at work. ( The package required a specific signature so couldn't be left with us)
