AArrgh!!! Just back from a weekend away to find a card through the door saying "Your goods have been safely left in green bin"

Great - the bin men came and emptied it today. To which the courier guy just replied that he was surprised they worked bank holidays - I don't particularly care, what moron puts a parcel in the bin anyway??!!

Rant over, smiles serenely (wow, I've never posted on AIBU before!)

Our delivery men do this too - it is soooooo annoying! They recently left DH's contact lenses parcel in our wheelie bin. Not the recycling one of clean plastic stuff, but the smelly kitchen bin one. I know they come in little airtight sachet things, and wouldn't be affected but Mmmmm - that's hygenic, thank you!

(Plus as you say, could easily have been emptied and taken away, although thankfully wasn't!)

my parcel men alway leave my parcels in my recycle boxes or wheelie bin and i am thankful as i cant be bothered going to post office to collect but........ our bin men wont come down the drive for my bins so if they are not on the pavement the bins dont get empted

I once had a big parcel form Boden left under an upturned bin but no note from delivery folk.Thought it had never arrived and Boden sent another one.
Found original about a month later!
