GreenyGreen Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Instead, they've left me with a note to say either collect the item at their sorting office (which is about 10 miles away) or to re-arrange delivery. Now surely the easiest thing to do would have been to leave it at a neighbour instead ? Looks like common sense has flown RM by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nataliie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 What if you have dodgy neighbours you'd rather it not be left with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Why doesn't Royal Mail leave the parcel next door ? Probably because your neighbours are out trying to earn a living, too. Why can't delivery people work in the evenings and weekends like doctors, teachers, EHOs and other public servants have to? That way, far fewer people would be out when parcels are delivered.

Anna Glypta Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 What if you have dodgy neighbours you'd rather it not be left with? There was a thread on here the other day regarding a problem family being rehoused next door to a forumer. I'm not sure that I'd want my parcels handing over to some slob with an ankle tag. I have a notice on my porch window telling mail man adresses where packages can be left if I'm out. It always works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always works for me. I wouldn't want mine to be left with the next door neighbour, we don't get on and I'd never see them again! I'm always wary of leaving signs like 'leave in blue bin' or whatever, because if someone happens to see that sign they're going to know there's something to take in the bin!

Redyam Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Maybe your neighbour doesn't want to take your parcel. If you want it leaving somewhere, put a note saying so on your door. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Did nobody see the news yesterday? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19295735 I already get half left with the streets parcels!

Grandad.Malky Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Apparently they are clamping down on pick ups too …. Make sure you have proof off ID for the addressee. I have picked up parcels for my son or wife before and shown them my ID but that’s no good any more you must have their ID ………OK the jobsworths are only following instructions but how is it any different to me signing for their parcels if I had been in and answered the door or is the postman going to ask for my wives or sons ID when he knocks on the door.
