Neighbours and parcels?

[StillSmallVoiceOfCalm]

I don't mind taking in an occasional package but.....

NDN never answer their door. I end up carrying their parcels back and forth 13 times before anyone appears. Even when their back door is open and Ican hear them in their kitchen.

They have stuff delivered almost daily. Which means I have to fall over their stuff in my hall every day. And try to et them to answer their bloody door.

I work night shifts half the time. The delivery people bang on my door, make the dogs bark and wake me up. This could easily end with me murdering someone.

I try to take round today's parcel. There is a helpful note on the door 'If no answer deliver packages to number 18'.

I cheeky fuckers

Do I

A. Lob their parcels over the fence into their dog shit covered garden?
B. Put a notice on my door 'no packages for number 17'
C. Kill them all?

A, B, then C. Probably scream D at them while doing C.

I take my neighbours parcels in 2-3 times a week because their Mum died recently so the older sister is at work to look after the younger sister who never seems to answer the door (although I think maybe she lives with other family some of the week) and the delivery blokes always seem to turn up here with it which is fine by me, I'm here anyway and I'll take it round once then drop a note saying 'parcel in number 4' and when she sees that she'll come and get it and say thanks. The neighbours on the other side can go sing though, I'll be saying no to any deliveries for them in future coz they're dicks.

I also don't understand how people get in this situation when you can do something about it. Why carry on doing something that annoys you?

If they won't answer the door, if it were me, I would make a space in my house and keep every parcel. When eventually they come round, I would show them the huge pile and tell them they aren't having them and could they please go away and not bother you again.

A, B and then C.

I don't mind taking in the odd parcel either but then ours was becoming almost daily and was taking up too much room. They'd order piles of the stuff. Thing is they never even asked they just expected to me to be in. I'm a single parent in a dodgy area so I often won't answer a knocked door if I'm not expecting visitors. They've started using the lady across the road now.

We take in parcels for our ndn. Not sure why, they are rude and generally don't talk to us. We never take them round, some times the parcels can sit for a long time! Once they had a flower delivery - think I got more benefit than them!!

We have considered just refusing the delivery but on the very odd occasion they do take one in for us.
I would go nuts if they had a sign on the door to direct people to us though!

Start opening the parcels and keeping anything nice. When they eventually realise you're not going to drop it over, they'll have to come to fetch it. You deny all knowledge of ever receiving it. Repeat this a few times and they might start being in for the courier more often - or at least change their delivery preference. And you'll have lots of nice free stuff. Problem solved.

Smurf, keeping the goods could be seen as fraud (as you will have knowingly obtained the goods with the intention of benefitting yourself). Giving the good to charity shops, however...
