To the OP...you live "down south" don't you?
Jeez - give the guy a break!
Complete Rant Fail
If you want to have a public rant about something, make sure it's not something like Parcels being delivered early.
Or Neighbours not changing their plans to suit you
Ranting about stuff like that just makes you look like a self indulgent tool
Get better neighbours ASAP:
When I lived at mum and dads, retired neighbour often collected either rang the doorbell when I just got in or greeted me at door with said packages before I got in making a remarks about size another weelset?
When I moved to country side they left an extra note so I wouldn't miss it. Some courier delivered to said countryside neighbour a year after I moved to Africa they had their granddaughter trace my cell number and call me. buddy went round to collect Frame.
I know live in France left just before Christmas elderly neighbour collect had her brother e-mail me as she was worried it was X-mas presents. There so nice I defrosted their plumbing today.

Pardon?
Top thread - well done OP.
Our postie pulled a blinder the other day "the package is in the gas meter box" clever that, very clever
Op think yourself lucky you did not get a youwerenotincardsoyouhavetodrivethirtymilestoourofficewhichisonlyopenwhenyouare@work
I get the impression he wasn't slagging him off posteirich....
I can't post tags anymore, can someone add "Whine with that?" which is my new hilarious anonymous tag?
Please do so within 15 minutes mind.
Op frustrated cos he cant put bike back together earlier than planned. Go release the frustration have a danger w***
I reckon a 3rd of the parcels i deliver daily are left with neighbours, or close by.
Back to the depot which is 35 miles away is the option.
I'd guess you'd get it quicker/easier this way.
STFU
On a side note, one guy i delivered to had 2 boxes from CRC and 1 from Rosebikes today.
He was very happy. But he did have the sense to be in for deliveries! DOH!
OP wasnt on the whole such a good idea after all

I believe this is footage of the OP.
true story -
years ago when we had not long moved into our house I had a parcel delivered and the bloke over the road took it in and a card left telling us where it was
Came home from work knocked on door to collect it from him, no answer
Thought he must be out, I'll get it later and forgot about it
Several hours later an ambulance and police all outside this persons house, early next day a skip appeared on the driveway
Turns out his wife had come home and found he had topped himself that afternoon, his window cleaning round had gone belly up apparently and he got himself so worked up about it and could see no other way out
I got my parcel, eventually, a police woman called round with it when questioning neighbours to see if they had noticed any unusual behaviour
I met a potential "girl of my dreams "on a trip to Amsterdam once many years ago.Gave her my home phone number but sadly she never phoned. 10 years later my dad remembered that some girl called Karen kept phoning but he had forgot to mention it...
Years back, we went away on holiday and the postie decided the best thing to do with a parcel that came for us was to hide it in the bin. But that was better than the other delivery we had- the fishmonger-in-a-van decided that since we always ordered the same fish every week, he'd just pop it through the door for us. So that was a nice surprise when we came back 3 weeks later.
Nick1962, have you got the wrong thread ?
Nice story, but...........
Relevance ?
They won't be in tomorrow either. They will be down cash converters with your stuff.
To the OP, I am your neighbour and took your parcel in as i've noticed we share a similar interest in cycling.
I'm sorry that I had to head out tonight before you got home but my life got in the way.
Please feel free to come round and collect it in May, i'll be in the Fawkland's until then. At least.
Apart from a quick return to the thread for clarification purposes, pretty much textbook stuff.
I can't post tags anymore, can someone add "Whine with that?" which is my new hilarious anonymous tag?
Shouldn't it be 'would you like some cheese with that?', after all, they're already supplying the whine!
Or, of course I've missed the hipness of your catchtag and it already allows for what I just posted...
Our next door neighbours have three super-hot teenage/early 20s daughters (steady fellas)
Imagine my delight when RM left a parcel for me at their address and when I went round to get it, the door was answered by the middle one wearing a shiny black leotard, perspiring gently. And then she had to bend over to pick the parcel up.
And back to work...
Has OP got his package yet?
They're so nice I defrosted their plumbing
Sounds like the OP needs to do this to his missus.
Phnargh.
Was it a snake?Your'e on the right lines!
Black mamba!
(OP is trolling surely?)

well worth the grump post to get that cracking line
i work at home and get a lot of deliveries so parcel people often leave stuff for neighbours with me - to be honest its a pain could do with out - something else to remember to deal with oh and [PSA] tonight i will be going out just as people get in from work [/PSA]
No she didn't. That is simply a fantasy that has become so vivid it is now real in your headAs real as the time I came home from work one day last Summer and the eldest one was cleaning her car wearing a boob tube and hot pants...

It gets better - she said "How do you get your car so shiny?" so I let her use my Autoglym Synthetic Chamois.

I had a courier based issue recently (though our house isn't obvious to find; as the postcode sends you 50 yards past onto a different road) - paid extra for Saturday delivery by 12am to avoid the 'you need to be in all day on Monday' thing; I was getting a bit twitchy by 11; so checked the online tracking to be told 'We couldn't find your address; we'll redeliver on Monday'
Aaargh!
To top it all; the delivery office was also shut; so I didn't even get the satisfaction of having a proper rant/argument with someone. I wouldn't even have minded going to collect it either but wasn't given the option ! That was VERY frustrating.
And I still haven't got my money back for the saturday delivery that I didn't receive.
It gets better - she said "How do you get your car so shiny?"
Are you sure it wasn't all the waxing off you'd been doing?
Didn't you put special instructions on the order so they knew what to do in the event they couldn't find your house? We always do (until recently our house didn't even 'exist' even though it is 110 years old - it had been empty for so long that it wasn't even on any Post Office registry). Now we just get phone calls from delivery drivers asking where we are even though they are usually just a few feet from us
