The bloody postie just delivered a package for next door to my place. It's just me home, I don't know this neighbour, and I can't go 2 minutes without sputtering like a truck engine from the 1930s
Ironically his parcel says "SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY REQUIRED - DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED" but that's exactly what he did
It's ok Baku. When the neighbour has come home, pick up the package, knock on the neighbour's door and say "the postie left this at my door. I believe it belongs to you". Hand the package over, turn and walk away. It's good practice. No need for a conversation.
I think he's out at the moment, so I just walked over and left it at his door. It's a safe neighbourhood, so there's not really any risk of porch pirates. I did take a photo and left feedback on the Auspost website though
I did also have a package coming today that was due at the same time, and after checking the tracking apparently meant to be delivered by the same bloke, but it hasn't arrived yet and wasn't at the neighbours door (I thought perhaps he mixed up the parcels), so now I'm wondering what the hell's happened to it
