AIBU to stop taking neighbours parcels in

Background is my neighbour has things delivered about 3/4 times a week all sorts from big boxes to small things from next, i always end up taking them in because she's at work which i didn't mind much except that she always comes for them at 9-10 at night knocks loudly until we open the door usually waking DS. So pretty annoying but no big deal really

Now comes the BUT last week i refused to take in a package because i was having an early night and DP was out felt a bit guilty but she'd never know anyway, she comes to the door later asking if i had her package said no didn't know anything about it she huffed and puffed then left, this is an 9.20ish (grr). Then today a guy came asking ifi could take something in first i said yes but he said it was 4 large boxes so said sorry no actually. Reason being my house is tiny and i had my mum, gran, sister niece and DS so didn't want us all climbing over boxes plus tbh getting fed up THEN they guy said that there was a note that numbern 15 (me) is her 'safe place'. I'm just WTF telling a company things can be left here without even asking!

So AIBU to just not take stuff in from now on because it's inconvenient and she's annoyed me using me as her collection service?

I get things delivered to my work address or expect to have to collect them from a depo. My neighbours and I will collect stuff for each other , but it's an occasional thing and we knock for them at sensible times of day.
You've asked her to come earlier and she has ignored you, plus at 3-4 times a week they are taking the piss.

There's some real double standards on this site! A very similar thread was started 6 months or so ago, and the OP was ripped to shreads because she was being disturbed by delivery people dropping off her neighbours packages all the time. Hmm

I can't blame you for being pissed off, OP. I didn't blame the other one either. Tell her to get them delivered to her work.

My neighbour is my nominated 'if I am out' place. They take in loads of stuff for me, including some massive boxes from Approved Food.

That's why I am always sharing sweeties/chocs/bottles/goodies etc with them - they are gems and absolute stars and brilliant neighbours and I luffs them. If your neighbour isn't even nice to you and couldn't even help with a buggy then I don't think it is worth being nice yourself - especially as you have been nice and they have not appreciated it one bit.
