To be annoyed he took my parcel in

My neighbour is a pilot. He works away A LOT. For example I took a parcel in for him before xmas. He only came to get it last week. A huge box that Sat in my hall all over Xmas. I rung a few times to give it to him but not in.
I ordered a pair of new shoes on sale. Specifically for a weekend away (last weekend). They "delivered " when I was in the house. No knock or bell heard.
I got a failed delivery/redelivery notice. Then a few hours later when I was out a delivered to neighbour notice.
I rung as soon as I got back as we were going away that weekend. No answer. He has a ring doorbell so knows I have been ringing. Every sodding day 2 or 3 times.
I know he's not there his car is gone.
He is sometimes away for weeks.
Why on earth did he accept it knowing he would be away. Or not drop it round before he went. I would have rather he didn't take it, I would have had more chance of getting them.
I am so annoyed. I just want my sodding shoes .

Please how do you get one of these?

You buy one. I bought one online so I’d stop missing work deliveries as my postie always comes during the school run.

Maybe he’s on the flight deck wearing them right now.

How could they know what was in it, they thought they were doing you a favour.

This is kind of on you. I am sure he doesn’t want to be taking in your packages either.

You can set delivery preferences where you tell them to put a package in a safe space or attempt delivery another day, or drop at a collection point and to NOT leave with a neighbour.

They will only leave a package with a neighbour if you have previously given them permission to do so.

Re-set your delivery preferences.

But the OP was in!
