To wait until he comes around for his parcel

Have you got actually, bluntly told him that you want him to come and pick parcels up as soon as he gets home?

I know it should be obvious, but could he just be a bit thick and not know convention or just think it's better not to disturb you and let you come when convenient.

A it was DD who accepted the parcel I would send her over with all the waiting packages and leave them on his step with a note:

Dear no 18, please note that I will not be accepting any more of your packages as you have not had the courtesy to come and collect them. Any further packages brought to my house will be rufused or left outside. I am not a postal depot.

Almost all my deliveries are tracked so I know when a parcel is coming and I watch for it like a hawk. In the event of a postie standing on my step with an unexpected package a conversation takes plae over the ring doorbell. Alexa even allows me to display doorbell on the TV and have a conversation..It its not for me I tell carrier I am away from home and speaking on the app so to pick another house. Works every time. They have no idea that Im sitting inside enjoying their attempts to lumber me with someone elses parcel.

But why not just post a note through his door saying 'we have a parcel for you, please come and collect'. THEN, if he doesn't collect within YOUR reasonable time, I'd put it outside so he can see it. You make him aware, it's up to him how he responds. *BTW, I like a bit of petty too!

Do you have his mobile number? Just text him. Your parcel is at number 20 please could you come and collect it. Failing that a note through his door, then refuse further parcels as planned

Because he seems to think seems to think she is his unpaid PA who will patiently receive whatever shite he buys, then devine when he is actually at home and and then hand deliver it to him.

Vs. going round at his earliest convenience to collect it to minimise inconvenience.

Its hugely disrespectful to her space and time.

You could put a notice out saying you no longer accept parcels for house XYZ. We had a CF like this at the last house. Final straw was three huge boxes which weren't collected promptly. Like you I got fed up with falling over them.

I get this too as I WFH a fair amount. On the whole I don’t mind but it can become too much. Do you have his number? Just text saying ‘I now charge a chocolate bar (or similar) for each parcel. Come collect and pay the fee whenever suits’

our street what’s app group is also filled with ‘parcel for number 8 at no 6’ seriously just text directly the whole street doesn’t need to know and it generally take 10 seconds to find the right number.

I would do this, but I’m very petty. (Take a photo if you do as proof of delivery )

It's really not that cryptic to leave out the word "neighbour", when writing 6 paragraphs clearly referring to a man who lives in a nearby house.

Hmm I agree that they don't always put a card through the door or sometimes I have had vague messages saying left with neighbour which makes it hard to know who they mean!
What does he say when you drop the parcel off?

I am guessing the post man knows you are home hence leaving with you each time.

Be warned! If you name a safe place and your parcel goes 'missing' from it, the company are not liable. Heard that on tv the other day.

Although in fairness the ones doing deliveries in vans aren't always the same. We have 4 posties-in-vans and 2 on-foot posties.

The cards aren't 100% reliable. I'd put a note through, or text him once if you have his number. Often the first thing we know of a parcel is when our neighbours bring it round.

If you have a garage or somewhere you can move it to so it's more out of the way for you in the meantime then do that. But I totally agree with you to stop taking them round to him, and put a note up to reduce further parcels.

He might not be doing it to deliberately annoy you, in our little cul-de-sac the person taking the parcel in always drops it to the owner when they get home. We are a very small road with only 6 houses though so it’s easy to keep track!

It would have been normal to specify who "he" refers to, rather than being cryptic.

Stop accepting, put a sign on your door and tell the postman too.

Just thanks for making me laugh.

1. Notice on the door informing postman / delivery drivers that parcels for Number 18 will no longer be accepted.
2. Whatever is currently in your hall, return to sender.
3. If you're feeling nice (I wouldn't be) you could put a note through his door informing him of 1. and 2., but I probably wouldn't bother myself.

Yes, put it on his door step now……..it’s pissing down with rain here! That’ll teach him!

I couldn't get so wound up about this.
I work from home full time. If I'm home and in a meeting where I can't leave, I don't answer the door. If I can go to the door and it's a parcel for anyone on my street I will accept it. I do have to leave the house sometimes.

If the parcel is for me, drivers usually leave it on our porch swing.
I have had a delivery of a heavy item of bathroom equipment delivered to my disabled neighbour with no warning (they did not even TRY my house even though a timeslot had been agreed and I was waiting) and poor neighbour said yes. Neither of us could carry the item and I did contact the delivery company to complain.

But if it's a parcel I can carry, go ahead, I don't mind and think it's neighbourly.

@Ponderingwindow Seriously? 1000 per day?!! You must do a hell of a lot of shopping. That's astounding. How do you afford it and where do you put all your stuff? I think one purchase generates maybe 4-5 emails. So you must be doing 200 each day.

Leave it on his door step. Wait till it's raining....

I would take it round, tell him you’re pissed off with him not collecting so you will refuse to accept future parcels for him and if one gets left without you realising you’ll be leaving it on his doorstep.
