To throw their parcels at them. (lighthearted)

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?

@Forevertired19 Stop with the notes they clearly don't work. Just refuse the parcel if the delivery man says "but we've had instructions to leave it here" just reply very sarcastically "where's the sign that says I'm a depot! take it back!" and slam the door in their face what they gonna do bang on the door?

I had a delivery man once bang on my door repeatedly until I answered (I was in bed asleep having not long got off of a night shift) I went mad opened the door and said this had better be an emergency when he asked me to take a parcel I said you banged on my door over a f ing parcel! I'm not a depot take it back there! and slammed the door in his face I hate it when delivery men bang on the door non stop til you answer so annoying!

Put a notice on your door/ window politely refusing to take anyone’s parcels apart from your own.

Just say no! You are NOT responsible for anyone else's post. Your neighbour is a CF.

Don't suppose you have a window in the door, or very close by? If so you could put a sign up on the inside, so the neighbours can't remove it.
