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??

Hopefully that'll be it when they see you won't put up with it.

Honestly I don't get the angst most of the time about taking in neighbours parcels on MN. My NDN orders most of her clothes/shoes etc on the internet (as do I!) but she works a lot, so often isn't in to take them.
I know for a fact she wouldn't mind driving to the depot/rearranging delivery, and she def doesn't just assume I will be here to take it.
But because they're good NDN, and they don't demand/expect things from me, and I actually am home a lot during delivery slots, I really don't mind.
But, if like this, they were cheeky fuckers, or ordered massive items all the time knowing they'd be out, or "accidentally" ordered stuff to my address, I'd be telling them exactly where they could shove their parcels.

OP was the parcel King sized or exhaust sized?

leavemealone2017 · 25/10/2017 19:28

Was only an exhaust size, but made it clear to them and the driver that we were not signing for anything! They're trying to say something got delivered yesterday (bullshit it did) if they try to contact to many more times I'm just going to tell them I'll be considering legal options to get them to leave us alone

@Lana I take for the person right beside us often (as they do for me) and I don't mind that because it's a genuine they aren't home but it should of been send to this house. I don't even think I'd mind this situation so much if they actually backed off, but they've just made me annoyed now.
Oh and @2014newme the reason it slightly ruined our night is because we knew after the second time of being desturbed the baby would be awake and unsettled so we were very conscious of that

Wait - get clarification on what they think was delivered yesterday. Ask for pod (proof of delivery.) you don’t want any sort of trouble with that - it’s scam territory
