Does anyone else suffer from the problem that delivery people have started not bothering to leave cards saying if they've left your parcel, and where they have left it?

As though I am supposed to just know they left it with my neighbour 2 doors down.

It's not only Royal Fail that do this, Fedex did, DHL have and so have Yodel (although I kind of expect them to do it

)

Get this a fair bit! Doesnt help when you dont talk to half your neighbors! Or another one of my favorites, you get the card and its circled "left with neighbors" and it turns out to be about 6 houses down!

My brother had a brand new food processor delivered to his door which was for his neighbour who didn't get on with him. Needless to say, the lad never came round for it and my brother ended up using it a year later.

Thousands upon thousands of items must go missing like this.

Happened the other week when I sold something. The buyer lived at no.1. My tracking info said it was at no.32 even though the buyer had no idea, he spent 3 days knocking on doors and found it at no.55

I wouldn't of minded but I was told I wouldn't be covered as it was delivered somewhere.

Happened to me with a fishing rod, some one about 12 houses away took delivery of it and just kept it in their hallway (had my address on it), i had to find out who had signed for it, (could only just make out the signature, then luckily that name was in the phone book so i went round and got it.

I generally dont even try to leave it at the neighbours unless I see signs of life, and I always put a card through. Royal mail dont get paid per delivery so in theory should be better than the rest of them. (I know I'm good at my job, not saying that there's not a lot who aren't!)

Usually it gets dumped outside the front door or lobed over the back gate

The worst is when you wait in, and they leave a card saying they tried to deliver and you weren't in...but the doorbell never rang! Happened to me with yodel, lying bastards.

Bit of a tangent but I had the seller on eBay write the wrong address on a gear knob I had bought. After a week and a half of nothing it comes out that they've sent it to the wrong house number - the person had signed for it with the name 'Mathers' or something. I live in a cul de sac and I've never spoken to this guy before but I go to his door obviously to see what's what.

He answers and I ask 'Mr Mathers?', which he confirms. Excellent, I'll explain that this weird parcel someone's signed for was actually meant for me. He says he has no idea what I'm talking about, shouts his wife who he lives alone with and she also plays dumb. Not very amused at this point, I explain that someone in the house must have signed for this parcel since that was the only way I even knew their name. They hit me with some bullshit about their daughter having been over, she might have signed for it and taken it with her. I tell him that's fine, you or your daughter have my parcel. I'll just keep coming every day until you have it here, after all I only live a 30sec walk away. He mutters and stumbles something about how he 'just remembered' something came the other day. Lo and behold he takes two steps backwards, goes into a cupboard and produces one Nismo gear knob complete in packaging, open, all of which I had tried to describe the best i could. Prick.

See, that pisses me off (as a postman) deserves disciplining for being a lazy cunt imo. I mean there houses I deliver to that get stuff a lot and I can say 90% of the time they won't be in, but I still try every day, just dont wait at the door as long as I would for people who are usually in.

On the flip side, we do get quite a lot of lying or lazy cunts phoning up saying I didn't knock when I've hammered on the door, rang the bell and waited a few minutes while writing out a card, who claim I didn't even try the door. Luckily the manager knows I do my job pretty well.

We've been told that we can't put them in bins now as "helpful" neighbours have been known to put the bins out on bin day...
