To hate when neighbours sign for my parcels

[Marshmellowfiga]

Especially neighbours I do not even know. I understand it's a nice thing some do but if you aren't in all day then I have to constantly go back and forth knocking on the door hoping you are in.
It's so annoying, why can't people just refuse it? I refuse to do it only my upstairs neighbour I sign for because we have a communal bit that I can leave the parcel for when he returns.
A neighbour few doors down signed for my expensive parcel from harrods and hasn't been in since it was signed for at 11am
Should I leave a note?

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

You are being quite rude yourself OP

[ImTakingTheEssence]

Ooh hark at her who doesnt want anyone touching her precious parcel from "Harrods". I hope she keeps you parcel for as long as possible snotty mare.

[Koalafications]

It's harrods OBVIOUSLY there is tracking



I think YABU, I love it when I see that one of my kind neighbours have signed for my parcel and I don't have to go all the way to the sorting office or some random delivery company's depot (last time it was a 30minute drive away).

[MrsV2012]

Could One not ask One's servant to pick up said parcel from Harrod's?

My neighbour took my parcel in today.

It was a cat scratch mat from Amazon a very posh shop. My cat was very grateful.

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

I'm more bothered about it winding up my neighbours tbh so now I order stuff to arrive for when I know I'll be in...and I have a JOB!!

My neighbour took my parcel in today.

What a wanker!

YABU

[howabout]

YABVU.
If you cannot be in for your parcel do not order it or get it delivered to your workplace. Also I prefer F&M

[ghostyslovesheep]

Still glad you found time in the midst of your distress to join Mumsnet just to post this though

[MrsBertMacklin]

If you're that bothered and can afford an EXPENSIVE parcel from HARRODS, why didn't you use your COMMON SENSE and pay the extra £12 for Saturday delivery, or arrange for it to be delivered to your workplace where you have your JOB?

So glad my block of flats has people who are mutually grateful to each other for being neighbourly.

[gamerchick]

And why haven't you got a 'safe place' listed that most company's insist on?

Why haven't you sorted that out if you werent going to be in and don't want shit delivered to your neighbours?

A bit daft really isn't it?

[Sirzy]

Not sure why you felt the where you ordered from was important!

But as others have said yabu. They are being nice.

[coolaschmoola]

How about you pay for named day delivery that way your neighbours won't be inconvenienced by YOUR delivery men disturbing them, asking them to take in a parcel you inconsiderately ordered to be delivered when you weren't there .

Sorry, but YABU putting your neighbours out by ordering goods you won't be in to receive.

In my old place, I used to be grateful when my neighbours would sign for my parcels. I never had to chase after them either. As soon as they saw my car pull into the drive, they would send one of the kids over with it.

Here, the turnover in neighbours is high. I don't know any of them well enough. But delivery persons have never left my parcels with anyone. Mostly I have my parcels delivered to work. . .

[Viviennemary]

YABU. Either wait in all day for a parcel or stop ordering stuff which comes by post. It's a nice neighbourly thing to do.

[CheesyDibbles]

A wind up surely?

[Hadron21]

It would never cross my mind not to take in a parcel. I usually take it to the neighbours but leave the door open in my house and rush back.
You sound ungrateful for nice neighbours.

[Mehitabel6]

How odd! I can't see why you would want all the faff of getting it when you just have to go to a neighbour. I am always grateful and would always do it for a neighbour.

[MajorasMask]

I don't really know my neighbours but I always take in parcels. One tenant next door was getting married and had loads of parcels, if I hadn't turned into a collection office she'd have to arrange redelivery from courier. We live right next to a Royal Mail parcel collection but they don't do Yodel, UPS and other outside companies so not always useful.

I would be a bit irritated if my neighbour was annoyed by it, if it's such a big deal then be in at the allotted time or tell people as soon as they move in how you prefer they refuse parcels for Number X. My mum is a postie and it's amazing how many people think she should remember everything about their delivery preferences when RM have put people on alternating routes and all sorts of changes that mean she can't deliver to the places she does know inside out.

[Mehitabel6]

It must be a wind up- it can't be possible to object to kind people.
