Neighbours used to live in my house before they moved nearby five or so years ago. Mail still being delivered here, with an expectation that we deliver it to them, help given to their childminder with small emergency but with no thanks, and now supermarket deliveries arriving here which we have redirected, again with no thanks. AIBU to be annoyed at this?

I have a very busy life (as I imagine they do too), but I am upset and annoyed that they seem to think they are too busy/important to change their address on things and/or thank me for helping them!

To be honest I’d be sending the mail back with “return to sender, not at this address” on it. 5 years plenty long enough to change their address, it sounds like they’re just being lazy.

Just write "no longer at address 5+ years" and give them back to the postman or pop them in a postbox. It's not your issues to sort any longer than you have, CFs.

Refuse to accept the mail or return to sender with "not known at this address". Refuse any deliveries. They'll soon get the message. Their laziness, their problem but I'd also be worried about them using your address for loans/credit cards etc if they ever default. Can't be pinned on you as not in your name (I assume) but could still cause you grief to sort out.

I'd throw the mail away or at least hold on to it and return it at my leisure-do nothing to help them-no taking in parcels, if supermarket deliveries turn up say you've no idea who they are etc

It's been over 5 years?

You need to stop now, or what incentive do they have to sort themselves out?

Accept the supermarket delivery.
Then text them to pick it up.

PolarBearDisguisedAsAPenguin · 30/01/2019 18:09

I agree with all the PP and would be returning mail and refusing to pass on their address to anybody else who calls.

TooTrueToBeGood · 30/01/2019 18:19

Or keep the supermarket deliveries and add them to your Brexit emergency stash Smile

@TheQueef Accept the supermarket delivery.
Then text them to pick it up.

Genius!

Strange that your postie doesn't know they're next door?

PolarBearDisguisedAsAPenguin · 30/01/2019 18:53

@dudsville the OP says they moved nearby so maybe the rounds are different posties? Although I would also think posties are obliged to deliver to the address on correspondence and not another one just because the name matches.
