Our DNeighbour is a lovely lady but it’s almost daily now that we have to take parcels in for her. She works full time in an office so isn’t in for most of them.

I didn’t mind at first but she then has to come round to get them and this is often when we are giving our DC their dinner.

YABU - just suck it up as it’s not that big a deal
YANBU - it’s excessive so have a word with the DNeighbour

Two options:

refuse to take them from the courier
talk to your neighbour and tell her it’s not convenient to take so many parcels

they should use inpost lockers!

You dont HAVE to take them in. Just say no to the courier when they come to the door. The more you take in the more you'll be known as the easiest drop off.

Are you letting her into the house? If I take in a parcel for next door, I just hand it to them, they don’t come in. Are they interrupting your dc’s meals? Alternatively, start refusing parcels and suggest she uses Inpost!

She doesn’t come in but often there is some small talk and I can’t really shut the door on her mid conversation!

I have this. Nice neighbours but go out a lot/don’t answer their door much and order lots of stuff! You don’t have to accept parcels on their behalf so just don’t answer the door if you are not expecting anything g yourself!
