To throw their parcels at them. (lighthearted)

[Forevertired19]

The neighbours opposite have an ebay obsession and since dd was a newborn (when we moved in) they've had their parcels delivered to ours. They don't know us and don't speak to us apart from to loudly knock on our door (an wake dd up late at night) to collect it. I don't mind once or twice. But it's nearly every day now. We only see the one but he is so rude. Around Christmas time dd went through a problem with sleep. She fought it terrible and we had finally got her down to nap and BANG BANG "WHERE'S MY PARCEL?!" he's horrible. So I got up then and politely asked he stopped asking us to take them in as we have a baby.

I've literally just been asked by our postman to take 3 huge parcels in for them. They're heavy and taking up my hallway and I'm 39 weeks pregnant now. I'll have a newborn any day and the last thing I want is a newborn and almost 1 year old woken up for a bloody parcel.
It's driving me insane. I asked politely and they still do it and the postman said it said on the delivery instructions (amazon package) to leave with our door number if they weren't in! I'm furious.

Should I tell him again or clonk the rude man on the head with it?

No wonder cfs get away with stuff because there's so many push overs . Just say no and shut the door or don't answer the door to start with . If you don't grow a backbone you will be back here complaining again on a regular basis getting the same replies.

I'm taking NO more parcels and shut the door next day repeat .

No - if they go missing it is not your responsibility as you did not give permission for you to be used as an alternative delivery address. Just put the notice on the door saying you are not accepting any more parcels for No. ?? and that should be the end of it,

Yes you are crazy. Just say no. Have your husband drop the packages over and leave them on their doorstep.

He's taking them out now cause I can barely get past them 😖 I just can't believe some people. I don't care for a tiny thing that needed signing for that I can push through their letter box but this is ridiculous now especially after we mentioned it to him that he was waking our child up.

I'd suggest a note on the door stating you will not accept parcels that are not for your address

If you don't sign for them, then there is no proof that you have received them.

Tell the postman again that you won't be signing for them and if he insists on leaving them, tell him he can leave them outside your house.

If they aren't there when the neighbours come to collect them, then that's not your fault.

Also, what if you weren't in when the postie came? What would he do then?

Come on OP, you shouldn't need to even ASK.

Of COURSE you should not take these parcels in anymore.

I would never have started in the first place.

Tell the parcel delivery person that you will not take any more parcels in.

You do know you don't HAVE to right?!

Who is taking them out? the neighbour? Tell him that this is the last time and you will tell the postman in future you won't be accepting anymore

If you don't answer the door what then happens?

Does he leave them on your doorstep? If he can do that, then he can leave the on the recipients door step surely?

Put a written notice on your door that no acceptance of any parcels other than those directly addressed to you.

I did put a note up for Halloween to stop people knocking and waking dd up but it was torn off 😩😠 ill try it again though for parcels

"the postman said it said on the delivery instructions (amazon package) to leave with our door number if they weren't in! I'm furious."

But not furious enough to tell him NO?

It's your address-you only have to accept stuff for you!!

Leave a note on the door "We will not accept any parcels for no X, he is a cunt"

Seriously do not accept one more! It's not your responsibility if you don't accept it.

Yep you are crazy.

Go over to your neighbours and say- 'take my address off all delivery instructions, from now on should a parcel arrive, I will tell them to return to sender. Have a good evening'

And go back home. STOP being a doormat and stick up for Yourself! Big girl panties and all that!

I just thought because they had put down to leave with us it looked like we consented to it? That's why I've asked really.

Doesn't matter.

Just tell delivery people firmly but politely you do not take in parcels, and the delivery instructions are not decided by you.

I do take in quite a lot of parcels for my neighbours, but my immediate neighbours do the same for me – and we're all friendly and thank each other – and further-away neighbours are always thankful and polite about it. Anyone who shouted 'WHERE'S MY PARCEL?!' at me I'd say 'Up your rude arse', shut the door and chuck their fucking parcel out of the window.

Nope you don't HAVE to take the parcels in, even if the nob across the road has told the delivery driver to take them. Cheek git he is.

You need to make it clear to the delivery driver that you are NOT taking any more packages in, this man is taking the piss out of you, and you don't even KNOW him.

Are you a woman alone/single mom?

Just wondered, as some people will see a woman without a man as an easy target to bully and manipulate.

I'm not clued up on laws but I don't think that's how it works, otherwise people could say leave at 10 downing street and it becomes the PM's responsibility.

Your postie is just pushing the amazon thing so he doesn't have to take it back but you can still refuse

Put a note on the door saying "we do not accept parcels for number 37". If the postman knocks say no. You're under no obligation. I don't mind taking parcels for nice neighbours, but I wouldn't for mean ones!

The neighbours might not realise it still says to leave parcels at yours on their account. It's a bit hidden in account settings somewhere.

Good God woman . Say no. You do not have to allow these parcels into your house. Just don't take them.

Just refuse delivery you didn’t agree to there parcels being delivered to your door. They will stop ordering them if you stop taking them in. I get it’s rude of them and frustrating for you but you have allowed it by continually taking them in.

I agree with all the other PPs. Leave a note on your door saying "I am not accepting parcels for Number XX. I did not give permission to be used as an alternative delivery address." Then tape a note on each box saying "I will not accept any more parcels for you."

Decline to take them. You aren't obliged to, even if they put 'leave it next door' on the instructions. If he leaves them on your doorstep, leave them there. Don't worry, they'll soon find some other mug.
