Missing delivery? Help! Options!

[Dancingfairydreams]

I thought I'd ordered in time to ensure delivery today, when was home all day, but now had an email saying its being delivered tomorrow & I'm out all day! What can I do? Sorting office will close at 12, and then closed all day sunday!
If delivered to a neighbour they probs won't be able to put in a fridge (plus haven't told anyone about the WLI yet!) Will royal mail insist on a signature? How long can it be left out for before going in tye fridge?

I'm spiraling...please send any helpful suggestions

It depends what type of postage the supplier opts for. When my pens come from my usual supplier it doesn't need a signature and Royal Mail just leave it on the doorstep, but another supplier sent it Signed For. Have you used that supplier before? Have you had to sign in the past?

Same supplier, they use royal mail 24hr signed for. I can't remember what if I had to sign the previous two times 🤔

I'm more worried about them going bad if not put in the fridge! (Annoyingly, I ordered 2 pens to save some money, so will be gutted to waste £400 if they go bad!)

Might just have to bite the bullet & tell the neighbour & see if they can take it in & pop in the fridge

Royal mail have never asked me for a signature when I have had pens delivered.

Get it delivered to a neighbour. They won’t know what in the package. It will be fine out of the fridge until you pick it up from your neighbour that day. I do it all the time.

Either to a neighbour, it be fine in the box for a bit longer.. or once I stuck a note on my door when I went out at 6am saying, had to nip out for 5 mins please leave package.. and got notification at like 3pm it was delivered and left.. obviously if your front door in on a street I wouldn't do this.

I have mine delivered to the local post office ( it's in our local shop so extended opening hours) and collect from there. You can change it using the tracking on RM app

Thanks all! Ended up having it delivered to a neighbour & all seems fine with it 😀
Sorry for panicking lol
