Neighbour accepted my delivery but doesn’t have it

A gift was sent to Flat 2 accidentally, instead of to my Flat 12. My name was on the parcel, but it was addressed to Flat 2.

I asked the management company to call the neighbour at Flat 2 to see if they can leave the parcel outside their front door and I can pick it up. I wanted to avoid randomly showing up at their front door because of Covid.

The management company came back to say the neighbour said she hasn’t come across a parcel meant for me.

It’s not an expensive gift.

What would you do?

It could be anywhere. I’m wfh so I’m in all day and a few weeks ago DH asked me to keep an eye out for a delivery of fancy cakes. DHL didn’t knock on the door but DH got a text to say it had been delivered. I tried the neighbours and looked in the obvious places but it wasn’t until DH requested a photograph that we found the box (with a huge sticker indicating that it contained perishables!) four days later, squashed into a muddy gap between the wheelie bin and the fence Angry

The company re-sent the order with no quibbles and DH has since noticed that their website has an announcement about switching couriers due to ‘previous issues’!

@MereDintofPandiculation

OP said the sender put in the wrong address. She also said that the person at that address had not received the parcel. If the parcel hasn't made it to the address given, then it is Amazon's problem.
But we don't know where the parcel is at the moment. It could be left with another neighbour or at a depot somewhere if nobody was home.
