I’m an idiot.

Ordered phones for DC for Xmas. Arriving tomorrow. I’ve just remembered teen DC is off school and I’ll be at work in the morning. More than likely he’ll still be sleeping while I’m out but just incase they arrive while he’s here and he takes them will they say Carphone warehouse on the package?

I don’t know. But if they do, and they question it, can you just say you’re getting them delivered on behalf of aunt/uncle/ best friend etc?

Can you not get the app for the courier and select the “ deliver to a neighbour” option?

I could say it’s for his brother and please keep it secret I suppose! He hasn’t asked for a phone but his own is on its last legs. Not sure if he would put 2+2 together and guess though.

I think they come in a plastic bag with a normal label on but if you get a text off the delivery company you could try to rearrange for when you are in

I’ve just moved here and don’t know any of the neighbours yet. Certainly not enough to trust them to give me my Xmas presents! Grin

Oh that would be good if I can rearrange it. Do they normally text when they’re delivering?

I'd be surprised if they are not heavily in disguise - might foil would be postage thieves/ packages going awol en route?

Its wrapped up inside a Black bag (i got mine delivered around a year ago so might have changed). He might be able to tell irs a small box but won't say what it is!

Thank you everyone! They have texted with a time frame of an hour later on when they will deliver so I am going to be home for that time. And then try and hide them somewhere nosey boys won’t search Confused
