To the this is cf territory

[leavemealone2017]

I have name changed for this but been around for awhile

Over the weekend we had someone from our street bang on the door saying that they'd ordered some stuff online but was accidentally being sent to our house, I had a grumpy baby needing sleep in his room is right above the front door so took his number and said that we'd text him should things arrive. And that should of been the end of it untill the items were delivered right??

Well last night my DH and I got an extremely rear night away from the children, and while we were out our babysitter said that the people had been to our house TWICE about their stupid items which hadn't been delivered (for reference it was after 7:30pm when we out) Which put a bit of a damper on the night because we ended up in a shit mood about it. When we got home I sent a rather icy text saying again that we would text them if the items arrive but we're also out a lot for the next few days so If they leave a calling card we'll put it through the letterbox and that we didn't appreciate the fact they came twice while we were out. So you'd think that would be the end of it until the items arrive right?
WRONG! already this morning they've been around asking to put a note in our door to redirect parcels, which was met with a sharp no as we were waiting for our own parcels anyway and I refuse to be inconvenienced because of Someone else's mistake. And a text (after the visit).
Aibu to think this is cf territory and their mistake isn't my issue to sort out??

Definitely cf territory. Ignore and block the number. They need to chase it up with the couriers not you.

A mattress no I wouldn’t be taking in a sodding mattress!

Also who orders online and can’t remember the right door number ffs

Seen cf abbreviation on other Threads what does it stand for please ?

I agree about refusing to accept the parcels all sounds very odd to me .

Dodgy AF. Particularly as on Amazon you can change the delivery address once you see you've made a mistake.

I'd 100% decline the delivery.

A mattress??? An exhaust?? Oh fuck off neighbours!!

CF = cheeky fucker

This all sounds suspect. As others have said, refuse to accept the delivery and they can get a refund and re-order to the correct address.

Plus, a mattress?! Wtf? I wouldn’t take that in for someone even if they weren’t a cheeky fucker!

pavlova it means cheeky fucker.

Thanks for explaining that to me !

Bloody hell it's not even as if it's a CD and a book. A mattress and an exhause? Fuck that!

Yes unless you’ve got a huge hall expecting someone to store a mattress is beyond ridiculous.

I stopped my new NDN from treating me like the local sorting office.

I'm very glad to because they got the other mug neighbour to start taking their parcels in and the next parcel was a fucking bed.

So does this sound ok- "hi it's x from xxxx we won't be home this afternoon and due to other commitments won't be home much for the rest of the week, which means it's likely we will miss the deliveries, I will put the calling cards through your door if we get any, but when you do reorganise delivery please don't get it sent to our house as we will not be accepting delivery"

No way would I sign for anything for them. Do you know their full name? If so, put a note on your door "unable to accept parcel for Name as this is not their address and has been supplied fraudulently."

If they keep on about it tell them you now consider it harrasment and will contact the police. This isn't favour territory, it's piss taker, potential illegal activity territory.

They sound dodgy AF.

I'm sure there is a option for delivery details on Amazon? If you make a mistake you can always leave a note saying where to leave it!! Sounds to me they didn't want the inconvenience of waiting in for it!!

I wouldn't supply such cheeky fuckers with details of when you're not home.

"Due to normal life commitments we may not be in when your parcel is delivered. We take no responsibilities for parcels not addressed to us in name.
Please do not use our address or contact us with regards your parcel again as we deem it suspicious behaviour. We feel very uncomfortable and put out that you have put us in this situation and your behaviour has bordered on harrasment."

why are they knocking on the door anyway? doesn't the tracker on amazon show when something has been delivered?

Dear Neighbours

Sorry - we won’t be taking in any further parcels. Please make alternative arrangements.

Thanks in anticipation

No need for more details or to stir up bad feeling. If they are dodgy bastards you don’t want anything more to do with them.

Better a CF than a DB.

That sounds okay, OP, except don't actually say when you won't be at home.

There's no need to mention harassment or fraudulence just yet. No point putting their backs up if they are just stupid.

Just make clear you won't be taken for mugs.

No, Amazon doesn't always track things accurately, I've found.

Scam. Don’t accept it

Keep your message simple. You won’t be accepting or signing for any deliveries.

I'm forever ordering online and 9/10 times never in to collect but I'd never go round to my neighbour and demand they receive my parcels for me! I always choose another option for when I'm not around for my parcels to be left in a safe place - they never read the notes though and always take to my neighbour which infuriates me as for 1 i told them where to leave it and 2 my neighbour works nights and is therefor usually asleep when the delivery guy bangs on his door so I always feel bad! I've never accidentally put the wrong address in when ordering online - its just common sense to check those things like address and payment method before confirming anyway. Sounds dodgy to me

I can't get over the fact they would get a mattress and an exhaust delivered to a neighbours house. Are you supposed to just put them in the hallway till they turn up for them?

Something doesn't feel right to me
