I bought a sex toy from Amazon and the delivery guy has popped a nice note through my door

I am actually a cross between terrified and totally grossed out.
(Also mortified!)

I ordered a rather nice sex toy from Amazon and it was delivered today. It's something I got for DH and myself. The delivery guy did give me a look as he handed over the box but whatever.

I just went into the hall to find a card from Amazon with a post-it note saying that if I want something more I can call him, his number, and a smiley face.

WTAF? He opened my parcel? He was sizing me up? Tell me IANBU, please, I am on my own and FREAKING OUT

This is going to be all over the Daily Mail by tomorrow I reckon.

The man who delivered my hammock was rather dishy but we couldn't communicate because he was Portugese and had no English or so he gestured but how did he get the job, anyway he helped assemble my hammock with gestures and mutterings but was very efficient hmmm

Portia, —I— a friend of mine recommends the Satisfyer...

My brother in law is a postman and says they always know when they deliver parcels from lovehoney even though the boxes are plain and discreet!

I got propositioned by an electrician installing a shower at mine this morning. We bonded over being self employed and controlling exes. I declined however. Deadline today so couldn't miss it!

OP I've just been to have a nosy. Apart from I typed in 'sense and sensibility' not 'sex and sensuality'...that's an entirely different thing.

I have been told that postmen know some of the 'discreet' sender addresses and so know it's a sex toy without even having to open it. Have also heard that it's not uncommon for them to open/tear slightly the more embarrassing parcels as a prank on the postie who has to deliver it as they're the ones who get in trouble for it.

Childish yes, but has put me off ordering anything even slightly raunchy as I have a few relatives who work in the sorting office/are posties.

Why do you need to complain? He fancied you and left a little note to let you know. Bin it and move on, it's no big deal. How about be flattered, rather than try to get him sacked?

To all of you saying it's nice that he fancied you - no, it's not nice that I now feel that a sleazy stranger who knows my address and could come round any time has left me a note that anyone in my house could have read. What if he does it again? I'll tell my dh, no problem there, but what if there were? What if I were at risk? What if my dc find a suggestive note from the Amazon guy? etc etc. I really don't feel flattered!

Order a grip next time. Seriously, he left you a note. That is all. Do you think every man who shows a certain interest in a woman is a stalking perv?!

BloodyDraculcasonthis · 20/10/2018 09:24

I don't think you should feel flattered at all.
It's no more flattering than some cat calling builder on a building site, or a white van man shouting, or a lecherous commenter on the street.

DisneyMillie · 20/10/2018 09:26

He probably just fancied you - I don’t think it’s uncommon for delivery drivers to put numbers through letterboxes.

In some ways it’s flattering but i get it feels a bit intimidating when it’s at your house.

My window cleaner once asked how my husband was and I think I laughed and said “don’t ask” (think he had man flu or something). This was apparently translated as “I really want you” as I got a note through my letterbox offering to take me out. My husband sacked him!

rainbowtrain · 20/10/2018 09:27

OP I don't think you should be flattered. At all, I would be pretty mad.
I mentioned the fantasy but it was a joke about your DH getting dressed as a delivery man an knocking on the door. Completely lighthearted and,might I say, hilarious?

I would always use an amazon locker for something like that... unless the box was too large.

MyOtherProfile · 20/10/2018 09:58

I think he had no idea what's in the box and was just taking a chance because he fancies you. His fancying you is not a problem. Sending you a note is unprofessional and unsettling since he obviously knows where you live etc so I would report him to his delivery company.

LikeIcare · 20/10/2018 13:41

What a remarkable situation.

WinkysTeatowel · 20/10/2018 16:26

Just complain via Chat. It's unprofessional. It's no different to people wolf whistling at you on the street.

ThatssomedeadbratCarrie · 20/10/2018 16:35

I doubt Amazon would give a tiny rats arse. You will get standard bulshitty we use outside agency not our fault, we expect high standards but will actually do fuck all about it kinda reply.

Alfie19 · 20/10/2018 16:36

Amazon sell six toys? Well I never.
