To think postmen etc should not be allowed to deliver parcels to neighbours without explicit permission

[Czerwonitz]

it's insane in 2026 this isn't a country village in a miss marple

Royal Mail used to do that in the UK, it was an absolute b0llache. Our Post Office is the other end of the village inside a petrol station with a manager who doesn’t know how to schedule staff and doesn’t stick to the published opening hours. Would turn up to get something and they would be shut!

Thank goodness we live in rural North Yorkshire where neighbours are still happy to help each other, and we can just tell Postman Pete if we want something putting somewhere different.

At royal mail thats what posties are told to do. I wasn't keen when I worked there doing so

Living in a set back house on a busy road with no pavement on our side is great. You can't see our house behind a huge hedge so our stuff gets left outdoor in the porch it can be left open if we're out

Put a note on your door. ‘Please DON’T ask the neighbours to take in my parcels’

So you have to then traipse to the post office to collect a parcel from the sorting hub? God, what a miserable post

I know right! What a miserable person this must be to have posted this!

I think you sound like a miserable cow who lives in a very rough area. Not everyone is or does.

I know right! Do they think a sex offender is grinding on their parcel LOL 😂

John Wayne Gacy perhaps?

Ok "kind lady" I would hate to collect a parcel from you wherever you lived so thanks for supporting my point
