Me and DP do not accept parcels or deliveries for the next door neighbours as they never bloody collect it. DM didn’t know and took one for them yesterday. Big heavy box now cluttering up half my hallway.

DP knocked a few times to deliver it and got no answer even though they were clearly in. Needed them to collect it as we are leaving tomorrow and are gone over Xmas.

Heard her coming in talking on the phone about how she doesn’t have to worry about hiding presents from her son. She leaving deliveries with neighbours and she’ll pick them up on the Xmas eve.

By the time i’d got down the stairs she’d already gone in and yet again isn’t answering the door.

WIBU to leave a note tomorrow before we leave saying that she won’t be able to get it now to after Xmas as she doesn’t answer her door?

I really hope you haven't told anyone you're going away!!!

Leave it on YOUR doorstep when you're leaving 😜🤣😂

Yup, I wouldn't bother trying again. She sounds an entitled arsehole. So prove a point. Her fault if presents "stored" at yours and someone doesn't get it. Don't answer door to her if she tries knocking. Just go away with the present still in your house.

The neighbour has the parcel. The op updated. RTFT ( or at least the op’s updates)

The Chinese gets left on the doorstep?? Why doesn't this woman open her door to people, especially when expecting a delivery. Fucking weird!

@Petrichor11 obviously one of those weird MNers who will sit inside their house and can be seen through a window ignoring anyone who knocks on their door. "It's YOUR home, you don't have to answer the door" "If they know you enough to come round uninvited then they can phone you" or of course, "If it's urgent they can push a note through the letterbox".
I don't really get it tbh but it's a MN thing I think.

Instagrump · 24/12/2019 08:25

Apologies, @Petrichor11, finger slipped and didn't notice I'd tagged you.

Petrichor11 · 24/12/2019 08:53

@Instagrump no worries, for the record I always answer my door unless it’s the middle of the night! Wink

take it round leave on doorstep but when you know they are in. push note through saying left it there as in your way, youve been round 2x before . then thats it there problem NOT yours.

Tildycatpuss · 24/12/2019 14:54

Leave it on her doorstep with a note through the door saying you won’t be accepting any more of her deliveries

Hack into her Amazon account and Cancel The Order....

@marchez no is the answer it seems! Their pearls of wisdom are invaluable after 7 ruddy pages of answers 🤔

DreamTheMoors · 25/12/2019 03:12

Oh I’d leave a note.

And it’d say FUCK YOU IF YOU THINK MY HOUSE IS A HIDEY PLACE FOR YOUR GIFTS. Seeya on the 27th ya C**T.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/12/2019 03:14

@marchez
No. Apparently not. I vote we burn the witches house down. Wink

Sweetpea55 · 25/12/2019 21:38

Think lots of mumsnetters don't read the thread because there are numerous posts saying the same thing

BloggersBlog · 25/12/2019 23:48

Understandable @Sweetpea55 but surely just the OPs highlighted posts are enough to know its been sorted. If they can't do that then why not?
