To stop taking neighbours parcels?

Am I AIBU?
My neighbours are always having parcels delivered on a daily basis, sometimes massive things like beds etc and they are never in.
They always expect us to take them for them and it's beginning to get annoying having giant parcels siting in my hallway (which isn't very big) all day and evening long until they eventually can be bothered to come collect them. They aren't the nicest of neighbours either and won't even bother to say hello usually to us.

Would it be unreasonable and unneighbourly to refuse to take any more parcels? I don't understand why they can't arrange them for days they are in or get them delivered to their work place.

DNU, just tell the delivery driver/postie - sorry I can’t take that.

Completely unfair of them to have furniture or beds etc delivered when they won’t be at home. And even more rude not to collect immediately and apologise (if they’d been delivered on a different day than expected for example).

Just don’t answer the door, that’s what I did when I found out that neighbours actually asked for items to be delivered to my house without asking. I didn’t mind the occasional item, but it was getting silly, nearly everyday something would come and like you, some big items came.

Yep, just don't answer the door.

It's all just manners really, isn't it?
