To be pissed off with neighbors

I live at number 69 yesterday there was a knock on the door and it was the neighbor from a few doors up, I don't know her and I've never spoke to her (I only moved in my house in Jan) she stated she was from number 89 and had I taken a parcel for her I told her sorry that I hadn't.
I'm doing my house up ATM but I suffer with depression and agoraphobia and very rarely leave the house therefore I relay on internet shopping. I've had a few things delivered this week flat back coffee table new rug, TV stand etc. So that was that and I didn't think anything of it, so this morning she knocked again and said are you sure you didn't get a parcel yesterday for me I said no again and she said well maybe your partner took it I explained my dp was at work all day yesterday, she then said (in a snappy tone of voice) well maybe your children took it I said "I doubt a 9month old baby can answer the door" and that was it.
Well I've just been in the kitchen tidying up and I had music playing through my blue tooth speaker it wasn't loud as I do have respect for my next for neighbours, there was an all mightily loud knocking on the door I actually thought the door might come through she was banging it that loud. So I answered it and said can I help you she said I've come about my parcel I said I'm sorry but I've told u twice I haven't had no parcel delivered here for you and she said well that's a fing lie because the women over the road said she saw the delivery van here yesterday I explained that I have had parcels delivered for myself, she replied with what a coinserdient, so I fetched the invoice slip to show her she snatched it out of my hand and said well that doesn't mean anything just because you have had parcels for yourself doesn't mean you didn't get mine,
By this time I was getting pretty pissed off with her attitude so I said you can track your order and someone has to sign for it, she said I got an email saying it had been delivered and signed for at my own address but I didn't sign for it so I've rung royal mail and they said the driver dropped it off at one of these houses by mistake and as I'm number 89 and your 69 it must be you, now give me my f
ing parcel it was a very expensive item.
I said I really didn't get a parcel I don't know what else to say maybe ring royal mail again and see if they can ask the driver which number house he delivered to she said yes f*ing yours then she started screaming and shouting at me I didn't know what to do so I just explained again and shut the door.
As I said I suffer with depression really bad and don't like going out and I'm sat here a nervous wreck shes really shook me up.
My dp is away working ATM and her husband is now banging on the door like a mad man I've reverted to the bedroom as I really carn't face answering the door to her and now her husband is knocking tbh I'm a bit scared I really don't know what to do I honestly never received her parcel but she just wont have any of it.

Ahh bless what a good husband he is.
Hopefully the police calling in on her will stop her coming back. Silly woman.

Well done OP. If it's a signed for parcel then Royal Mail should have a copy of the signature used. Might help to track the right house.
Silly woman. Could be any house in the street!

My sister once had a parcel stolen from her and when she asked my dads neighbour (it was a present for him being delivered to his house) the neighbour screamed and swore and shouted abuse at her. My sister was totally stunned. When my dad went round to confront her for shouting and scaring his daughter she burst into tears...AND WENT INTO HER HOUSE AND HANDED HIM THE PARCEL! Shock

I know this doesn't relate to you OP but it sort of related to the thread.

Well done on sorting it out yourself. I know how hard it is to do things like that with having anxiety and agoraphobia too. You should be proud of yourself for sorting it out.

I'm glad you called the police, OP. The neighbour sounds crazy.

Stories like this make me so glad that taking in parcels is just not a thing where I live. It sounds a right nuisance, to put it mildly. If no one is home, then the parcel is simply left in a safe place, or dropped at the local post office for safe keeping. No hassling neighbours, or being subjected to whackaloons such as in the OP.

Yes, that's how it works here. When you place the order you can give instructions (e.g. 'Leave by front door') for if you're not home. Otherwise, they leave a card and drop the item at the nearest post office.

I wouldn't like the U.K. system at all! I'd rather go to the post office than have them dropping my stuff with neighbours.

There was a thread where her parcel was delivered too the NDN. NDN vehemently denied receiving the parcel. OP spoke to company who told her to contact the delivery company. Both companies kept passing the buck onto each other. In the end the delivery driver knocked on the NDN house and told her to hand the parcel over, because he knows she signed for it. The NDN handed the parcel over! If I remember rightly the parcel had been opened aswell.

They should be able to trace the signature digitally. Ask her to produce the proof of delivery to show time, date and signature. She should be able to do this online. Double double check hers has not been mixed up with yours and then tell her to notify the sender of non receipt so they can organise a replacement. Tell her that if she and her husband persist you will have no option but to contact the police and report their intimidating behaviour.
