To knock on someone's door at about half 8 at night?

And if so, what would you say is the latest reasonable time?

Basically I ordered a parcel last week which, after a week of infuriating phone calls, I am told has been delivered to (well, left on the back doorstep of) a different address which sounds very similar and is a couple of streets away from mine.

Couriers have said their plan is to go and collect my parcel from this address Hmm and redeliver it to me. However, this will probably happen some time in 2046 if their service up to this point is anything to go by, and what will they do if they aren't in or refuse to hand it over?

So I want to go and see if I can pick it up myself. The only problem is it's a big parcel and I don't drive and have a baby DD, so I can't just pop over for it whenever. I took DD to the doctors in a taxi earlier via this address but nobody was in, so I'm assuming the occupant works or is otherwise out of the house a lot.

WIBU to send DP round on his way home at about 8.30/9pm tonight? I appreciate they may be ready for bed or have sleeping children but really, when am I supposed to catch them? The courier company will have no chance. DP is working even later tomorrow so can't go tomorrow unless I can cadge a lift from somebody or find someone to help me carry the parcel.

Sorry for the epic post!

8.30 is early! I haven't even eaten dinner then. Absolutely fine (although agree it sounds as if couriers have fucked up & the parcel has gone).

do you not open the door or have friends around or music on after 6.30pm every day?

What time some of you come home from work?

as long as you acknowldge its late and apologise when you go round, its fine.

Why are you not demanding that the company send you another one. Yes you're saying they're rubbish but it was their fault. Why pay for delivery when you have to go get it yourself? Demand another one with free next or selected day delivery and its their problem to go and fetch the original.

I am another that thinks anytime up until 9pm is fine.
