Oh dear Jo, not good.

Why are people so selfish and uncaring now?

Not all, just some.

I have taken parcels in for neighbours. Would not doit for the house attached. See other post.
If I am out courier will leave it with a neighbour. The one from Evri is very good. It is a lady and she knows who will accept parcels.

Had a parcel delivered at 8.08 am on Tuesday morning. I dont know which courier it was as it was a plain white van and the driver did not have any
identification on his high vis jacket. I was expecting it.

One of my friends is getting fed up. She lives on a corner plot and Amazon always seem to knock on her door if they cannot get an answer at
other houses near by.

That's a man with some nerve, Cruiser!

That's actually a form of theft, in my book - using something which someone else has bought and paid for.

JoM,

Put a notice on your door to say you do not take parcels in for neighbours.
That may stop couriers knocking on your door.

I would do Cruiser but it’d probably cause bad feeling as our front door is right next to their’s so they’d see, plus I don’t mind helping the other neighbours out and I couldn’t really put a sign saying that I’d take parcels for every house except number 22 :lol:, we all help each other on our close one way or another.
I wouldn’t mind taking in parcels for these if it was only occasional but it’s frequent.
