Friend received gift and didn't say thanks..aibu ?

[geerer]

It was my friends 40th yesterday.
I sent her a card,flowers and a gift from moo pig.
She received them yesterday morning and signed for them.
She hasn't text to say she got them or anything.
I know you don't give to have any sort of thanks back or anything but I was really excited to make her smile as her hubby never buys her anything.
Aibu to think it's a bit cheeky ?

I'd give her a few more days before getting in a huff tbh

Did she definitely sign for them? Didn't think anyone was signing at the moment.

They may have been left somewhere and she hasnt seen them!

We were left flowers on our front doorstep once and we never use the front door so it was a day or so before we discovered them!

Ask if she's received the parcel?
I asked a friend recently after I didn't get a thanks for a gift for her baby. it turned out she assumed her husband had bought the item.

Well it was yodel and it said
*delivered no signature due to covid19

It's Yodel. They may have put them in her bin! Either way, give her a chance

Just message her and say Happy Birthday, hope you received the xx

You sound too keen to be thanked. I think of thank you emails and texts as similar to hank you letters. Something you do in the fortnight following receipt. I expect people to be enjoying themselves on their birthday, not doing admin thank you letters and texts

Why not just say 'hope you got my present...'?

Check she got the delivery. Yodel in my area are shockingly bad. I got a text message from the company I ordered an item from from saying my parcel had been delivered. I was home, there had been no delivery (no close neighbours to accidently deliver to & would have to pass our house to get to nearest neighbour at end of no through lane). Lots of hassle later I finally got a refund. Some time later got talking to an ex yodel driver who told us that when they were busy & behind they would mark parcels in the warehouse as "delivered" to take them off the system!

They may have been delivered and she hasn't received them - no signatures atm, could have been left on the wrong doorstep. Or could have been delivered without the card so she doesn't know it was from you. Why didn't/don't you contact her for her birthday? Then you have the chance to ask if she got your presents as others have said.

Just wondering do the flowers and card arrive at the same time if you order them together? Just because I ordered someone a birthday card on moonpig and it took a week to arrive because of the post being a bit messed up at the moment. Just wondered if the card didn't arrive would the friend know who the flowers were from?

All of my parcels are going straight into the garage. I don’t touch the box as open the garage and ask the courier to leave it on the floor there. I’m not opening anything for a week. If she isn’t expecting a gift/flowers she could be doing similar

I got very excited by the delivery of a v posh looking hamper at the weekend, then realised they'd got the wrong flat number.
I left it in the lobby, but because people aren't going in and out as much it remained there for a couple of days.

I ordered stuff on Moonpig for my Mum for Mother's Day last month. I text her around an hour or so after I received a notification saying she'd signed for it. She hadn't received it. I asked her to check around outside and she found the box of flowers etc outside her garden gate. No one had knocked or left a calling card to let her know where it was, and she's in isolation, so wouldn't have found them unless I'd messaged her.

Definitely check with your friend that she has actually recieved your gift...

The last time I used Yodel they delivered to next door (double checked and Correct door number was given, no instructions to leave with neighbour) and it took us both three days to track it down.

I'd not assume friend has received them. I'm not sure Yodel deliver on bank holidays

Yodel...

Twice they have delivered our Gousto box to the wrong address. Different addresses both times.

It could be anywhere!

Exactly the same thing happened to me, supposed confirmation of delivery but flowers and card no where to be found, have heard it’s happening a lot. Moonpig yet to respond to four e-mails.....

I sent a friend a pretty expensive gift for a big birthday (pre lockdown) I was very surprised not to hear anything as she usually texts a thank you for normal b day gifts. Turns out she had posted me a thank you card which I got a week later.

However, in the instance of flowers from moon pig - maybe just text & say you hoped she had a nice day despite being stuck in the house & hope the flowers arrived on the right day & see what happens.

Christ, people have got enough stress on at the moment without been pressured to say that nnuiu is that they don’t appear cheeky

Send a message, "hope you had a lovely day and received the surprise I sent". She may be getting lockdown cabin fever and think she already thanked you.

I'm not touching deliveries, just shoving in the boot room for a week before opening.

What's with this not touching deliveries for a WHOLE WEEK? That makes no sense.

So despite your saying in the OP she signed for it, she didn't!

So instead of assuming your friend is being ungrateful and not saying thank you, why not assume that she Amy not have it. Honestly, why would you assume bad behaviour from this friend?

*may not Amy!
