Please tell me your delivery man knows you, I can't be the only one

Blush He phoned with a delivery, no one at home.
I started to say 'can you put it...' and he finished my sentence. And then he said, 'and I know you anyway'....Never met the man in my life. He is THAT used to delivering to me.

Comfort me, I'm not the only one, am I?

The DPD guy certainly knows me - he reversed his van into my front garden wall, and came over with a mate a couple of weeks later to rebuild it. He couldn't have been more decent about the whole thing.

I know the five different types of delivery companies that deliver to me... I have all of their mobiles numbers programmed into my phone and if I'm not in they ring me... That's pretty bad isn't it...
Your not alone!Blush

My lovely Hermes lady I so love. If I'm not here she wraps parcels in a plastic bag and leaves over back gate.

Lovely postman who leaves things tucked away by back gate, also found. Y lost door keys , love him too.

HORRIBLE yodel chap Liam bah humbug. Rings doorbell once, before you can sprint downstairs has prewritten card through door to say how they missed you. Once he put the card through the door as I opened it - he hadn't even rung the door bell - I had by chance being nosey about neighbour over the roads photos being taken ( estate agent as they were moving) seen the yodel van and expecting a delivery had gone downstairs to open door and as I did he was on doorstop reaching through letterbox ! I don't like him , could you tell ?

Once we got a Christmas card from our local Indian takeaway, with a discount for orders over the holiday season, saying "please quote your Unique Customer Number #00001 when ordering" Hmm

Yes, he doesn't call me by name although he must know it. He often stops his van if he sees me (or even my dad!) on the school run and says he has parcel and will pop it in the usual place

CeeceeBloomingdale · 08/05/2015 07:17

To add no parcel will go undelivered. He will leave in a safe place after wrapping with plastic or give to a neighbour and always leaves a note. I love him!

Yes, there's always surprise expressed in this house when the DPD van DOESN'T stop at our house.Hmm And then everyone wonders who else could they be delivering to, said in a tone of great wonderment. Tis hilariousHmm

Love the unique customer number #00001!

I really don't buy that much. I think it's just that my neighbours buy nothing. Amazon Prime has a lot to answer for. AND i have no shops near me.

It's not my fault. I love SusanDPD. She's so friendly and prompt.
