To be annoyed he took my parcel in

My neighbour is a pilot. He works away A LOT. For example I took a parcel in for him before xmas. He only came to get it last week. A huge box that Sat in my hall all over Xmas. I rung a few times to give it to him but not in.
I ordered a pair of new shoes on sale. Specifically for a weekend away (last weekend). They "delivered " when I was in the house. No knock or bell heard.
I got a failed delivery/redelivery notice. Then a few hours later when I was out a delivered to neighbour notice.
I rung as soon as I got back as we were going away that weekend. No answer. He has a ring doorbell so knows I have been ringing. Every sodding day 2 or 3 times.
I know he's not there his car is gone.
He is sometimes away for weeks.
Why on earth did he accept it knowing he would be away. Or not drop it round before he went. I would have rather he didn't take it, I would have had more chance of getting them.
I am so annoyed. I just want my sodding shoes .

I wouldn’t take a parcel in for a neighbour if I knew I was going away for days/weeks!

One of the downsides of shopping online.

One of the downsides of living next to a twat.

OP for future put a big sign on your door: do not deliver to neighbour

And when he comes back tell him not to do it again and if he does you'll post fish through his letterbox (don't actually do it tho)

I may be unreasonable for that....however that wasn't my question!

Can you speak to the shop and say it’s not been delivered to you yet? I mean, delivering to a neighbour is fine on the assumption you fetch it within a day, but you have not been able to access the parcel, and it wasn’t delivered to you at the address provided?
