To take this parcel to the post office tomorrow?

[lunar1]

On our road we always take parcels in for each other, obviously there are lots at this time of year.

Six days ago I signed for a parcel for one neighbour, I have been round every day, sometimes twice and they have not answered the door. Last night I saw a takeaway driver pull up and they opened the door, I raced to get my shoes on and less than two mins later was knocking on the door.

Again they didn't answer. I know they are in on loads of the times I've been over. WIBU to take the bloody thing back to the post office when I send my eBay stuff tomorrow?

I'd go and just leave it on their doorstep next time you know they're in

Pop a note through their door tonight telling them you are taking it to the PO tomorrow. I bet they will be round for it in a jiffy.

Sorry, I should have said, I put a note through on day 3. I don't dare leave it on the doorstep, I signed for it, I might get a bill of it gets pinched.

Can you see if you can find a landline phone number for them as a one last attempt? Maybe they might answer the phone. Mind you... if they are not answering the door when they know there is a parcel with a neighbour.....

I would just wait for them to collect it, if it takes months then so be it!

How weird!

I'd leave it in their doorstep, having done what you have.

Maybe they’re trying to pull a fast one with the delivery company and say they didn’t receive said parcel, and then once they’ve been refunded or whatever they’ll be round to collect it.

(Grasping at straws as to why anybody wouldn’t want to collect a parcel they know is at a neighbour’s. )

I'd leave it on their doorstep.

I've never understood people who don't collect their parcels from neighbours ASAP.

Just keep it until they come for it. I wouldn't waste your time trying to take it round, if they can't be arsed then why should you be arsed. Don't take anything else in for them again. What odd behaviour.

In that case I'd shove it in the shed or something and let it lie there til they come for it. I certainly wouldn't go round again

If you're worried because you've signed for it id be concerned that returning it would cause problems too.

I'd still go for leaving it at the door though 😁

Take to post office and make a mental note not to sign for anything for them again.

They never answer the door, unless pre-arranged (as in the case of the takeaway). They must be Mumsnetters.

I'd just put it out of the way somewhere and let them come and get it. They know where it is, unless they have a dog that may have eaten the note? But then I wouldn't answer the door until they'd been half a dozen times. We can all play that game.

Does anyone remember the thread where the op was getting all cross because people were knocking on her door to pick up a parcel? In her mind people should wait in and wait for someone to drop it round.

What if these neighbours are like that but also they are like other MNers who refuse to answer the door?

Are they expecting a Writ?

I'd leave it outside and shout through their letterbox 'your parcels outside, your takeaway driver says your in'

The Post Office won't want it.

I'd hang on to it and not worry about it. Obviously I'd not take parcels for them again.
Where is the parcel from?

Hmmm, maybe they are a mumsnetter, if you are reading No.42, get your butts round here. It's from grupon and I'm getting curious.

This exactly this is the the reason that I think that MNers who ignore the doorbell are completely bonkers.

Is it a really big parcel OP? You can’t just shove it in a cupboard?

It's about double the size of a shoe box and it's currently on the bottom of my stairs opposite the front door.

It’s just weird that they’ve ordered something and now seemingly don’t want it. Truly bizarre.

Ring the company that delivered it or Groupon and ask them to take it back.

Maybe it's a Christmas present for someone in the household and letting it sit in your house is avoiding them having to get it into the house and hidden away to not spoil the surprise?

Or someone has been doing a bit too much online shopping and if another parcel arrives, there will be a row?

Put another note through the door saying they have 1 more day to collect it or you'll get rid of it in whichever way you want.
