And this is why I never, ever, ever, ever take packages in for anybody. I don't care how well I get on with any given neighbour. I will not take packages in. I will always help somebody in an emergency - give them a lift in an emergency if they need it etc, but I will not take packages in, nor do I expect people to do it for me.
I live in a nice area where people have got quite big gardens and plenty of safe spaces, like in the back garden, in woodstores, in the shed, in the garage, in the porch, blah, blah, blah, and it's easy enough to elect a safe space - or an Amazon locker in Morrisons or Sainsbury's or whatever.
There's no need to expect people to take your packages in for you. Not these days.
I've had too many experiences like this of people expecting me to take their packages around to them - and their package is sometimes sitting in my house for days on end! (As they're not in for the 4 or 5 times I've knocked on the door!)
I also had a bad experience of taking a package in (worth about £500,) for somebody, and I signed for it, and came to get it the next day ... (It was a new neighbour who moved into a private let near me.) I discovered about 2 weeks later, that had flatly denied to the retailer that they got it - and wanted their money back.
I then got somebody from the retailer knocking on my door wanting to know where it was! I could not prove I hadn't got it, as I signed for it! This was about 7-8 years ago, and it was the last time I ever took a package in for anybody. Luckily, I moved some 6-8 months after this, and didn't give anyone my new address. So that died a death thankfully.
Also, in the area I lived in about 13-14 years ago, there was a woman that lived a couple of doors away from me, who knew I was in all day because I worked from home. She used to pop a note on her door, saying 'try number 7 (me!) if there's no answer.' I used to get delivery drivers knocking the door two to five times a week, giving me packages when she was out - and also when she was in, but just couldn't be fucked to answer the door (or was in bed!)
THEN I had to go across to take it to her. Sometimes it would take 3 or 4 attempts to get her to answer the door, and she NEVER came to me for it. One time, the delivery driver said her music is so loud that he can't hear her knocking so will I take it in??? When that happened, I said 'well if YOU can't hear her, how am I meant to?' I wasn't standing there like a fucking mug knocking for ages til she heard me! FFS !!! After that I just stopped answering the door. (Only if I was expecting someone or something.)
Honestly with shit like this happening, it's no wonder some people on here don't like to answer the fucking door!
