    No problem. I often take parcels for people half-way down the street as the couriers/postman knows I WFH.

    The thing I don't trust is the courier to actually leave the card saying I have the parcel. I've had things for days sometimes.
    I actually knock on the door of the neighbour after 24 hours if I have their parcel and they haven't collected.

      We got a Kindle delivered once. To our address, to a name of someone who never lived here. After waiting a week hoping a neighbour had maybe transposed the house number and figured out their mistake on Amazon, we contacted them ourselves but they had no clue either. Sadly they wanted it back

        That's the kind of thing one of my relations has done. Luckily the people on their road aren't thieves and their road is long........

          Just taken a delivery for one of mine. Let's see if they turn up for it.

            One set of neighbours I would but the others I wouldn't, in fact if a postie asked me to take it for the neigbours I don't like I would say no, also when I order stuff I always tell them never to give to nbr x.

            These are the neighbours who told me to prove part my garden was not there's, who also gave permission to the window cleaner to access there windows from my garden .... I was there when he did and caught him in my garden ... I went off my nut.... I love my neighbours and the mini Taj Mahul they built at the end of there garden.
            I like big butts and I cannot lie.

                In my defence at the time I thought he was a burglar he had nothing with him to indicate he was a window cleaner (kit still in his van a part from his ladder), and he was on the roof of my rear extension next to my bedroom window and I was in bed.

                I hate my neighbour (to the right) with a passion they are the most inconsiderate people I have ever met.

                  The window cleaner should have checked with you any how but was probably told that you weren't in.

                  I would be tempted if they ever sold up to say to the new people something along the lines off - "I'm glad you moved in I had a dispute with the other people and had to get solicitors involved...."
