Surrey Phil Apr 2018 2:11pm, 8 Apr 2018 2,380 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil On a similar note, neighbours who do copious amounts of online shopping then are never in to receive the parcels, and/or that the courier leaves them in our porch because the neighbours in question don't have one.

Surrey Phil Apr 2018 8:04pm, 8 Apr 2018 2,381 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Maybe but if the parcel's already in the porch and the neighbour gets a notification card in their letterbox to say where it is, there's not much you can do about it (apart from keeping the porch locked and then I may not get my own post and packages).
Wine Legs Apr 2018 7:43am, 9 Apr 2018 4,333 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs I don't mind taking post for the neighbours at all. Much rather that than it got nicked or not delivered. Plus, they always accept parcels for us too. What really used to annoy me was when I lived in London, my downstairs neighbour wouldn't accept parcels for me EVEN THOUGH WE SHARED THE SAME ENTRANCE HALL!! She was weird.
