Get it all off your chest here. It's what MN is for x
To be honest every one of us here has different connections to their neighbours. My last house - yes, little culdesac with 10 houses and we all knew who was who.
Now though it's a lane with big houses and no one knows anyone else's address! Half the houses have names and don't use their numbers. The other half are not visible from the street. Most you can't get to the front door because of big gates. I hate it when i get a note saying 'parcel left at ''no. 24'' cos i don't know if that's Pretentious Farm With Big Dogs, Fort Knocks Gate House with no visible means of entry or Mile Long Private Road Manor which seems only accessed by air!

I know I sound like a miserable old twunt, but parcel delivery, and taking neighbours parcels in just really grates on me I HATE it and have had a few bad experiences too. The worst example; some 10 years ago, a courier dropped off a package at our house that DH took in, for a neighbour 4 doors up, who had only been there 2 months.
I was not happy, taking the package in for someone I didn't know. They didn't come for it, and 3 days later I took it around to them. A man answered the door, and said 'oh at last, we've been waiting 3 days for you to bring this around...'
About 3 or 4 weeks later, we received a letter from an internet company who sold laptops and mobile phones and tablets. Apparently, the item the neighbour had had delivered was a laptop, worth £500, and long story short, they had denied getting it. This company said 'we believe you are in possession of this item, as we see it was signed for at your address.' 
It was addressed to my DH because he had put his full name down as the person who received the item. (At our address!) We wrote back to the internet company and said we had dropped off the package at the neighbour's house, and if he said he hadn't got it, he was lying.
Many weeks of upset and stress and worry ensued, with me AND DH going to this house some 8 or 10 times, and only getting an answer twice, and both times were not the man who took the package in. Someone different answered each time, and denied all knowledge of said package.
I cursed myself for not getting him to sign for it. About 7 weeks after we had taken this package in, we even got a fucking policeman calling in asking us about it. I told him I had taken it around to them some 2 months back, and he just said 'he said he has never had it, and you never brought it around, and when he came around to yours, you denied ever having it.'
I said he had never been around and that he was a massive MASSIVE liar. I said 'search my house now, from top to bottom, attic, shed, garage, everything, and check my ebay account to see if I have had it and sold it. I have not got it. HE had it. I took it to him 3 days after it came because he couldn't be arsed to collect it.'
The police officer said the enquiry will remain open. 
We heard nothing else, and 8 weeks or so later, we moved house. 20 miles away. (We didn't move because of this, we were moving anyway...) Never ever heard about it again! No idea why. This put me off taking peoples packages in massively. THAT, and other reasons like the inconvenience and people not being arsed to come get them. And, as I say, the risk of them denying getting it, and because YOU signed for it, you could be accused of stealing it.
IDGAF if anyone thinks I am being melodramatic or OTT. I am entitled to feel like this. DH feels the same too.
