When waiting for a parcel do you risk going out, cause I know as sure as eggs is eggs I’m going to have a little note when I get home again, but then, it says anytime today before 10pm that’s along time to be on tender hooks, it’s great that they’re so specific with their times.

They might well as say ‘you will get your thing from either the hours between dawn or dust, but if you’re not there for a nanosecond we are fucking out of there in a cloud of smoke, sorry for any inconvenience!’

I am lucky in that I live in a rural area. Most leave it in the greenhouse or just out of sight. I have amazing neighbours who take anything in for me too.

The worst is when it says they're X amount of stops away and you really need a pee.

Those 5 stops could take between a minute and half an hour

Sometimes I look out for a delivery when I haven’t even ordered anything.

I can't even get Amazon to deliver to me, as apparently, my address is undeliverable and the local post office and several other locations they won't deliver to either.

Might have something to do with my stated occupation as being a cat burglar, and absolute rotter.

EBay will, as it appears they're not too fussy.

Never mind going out, when you’re expecting a parcel do you dare to go to the toilet?

Number ones are probably alright, especially if you can stop mid-flow, but if it’s a poo then it’s fraught with difficulties. There’s the worry of it not coming out as quickly as you expect and then what if the wiping turns into a big smeary debacle?

If there’s a knock on the door at the wrong time it leaves you with a few options and I don’t really like the look of any of them

I’ll lock the front door, shouting ‘I’m going out now, I really hope the delivery guy doesn’t come in the next 20 minutes as there is no one home!’ Then just walk around to the back door and walk straight in the house again. Probably see the little card saying he’s been and gone anyway!

I'm usually fairly lucky as they'll leave my package in the blue bin if they can't post it. Hermes are terrible though. Banged up packages and occasionally dropped off at the wrong place

We had a parcel delivered to the wrong address once (not even close to the right street name or post code), and when we complained we were told to go round and ask for it, because yes someone who was happy to take a £1k+ delivery that wasn’t addressed to them would gladly hand it over!

Someone I know reported a parcel as missing. The delivery driver was adamant he had left it. He eventually produced a photo as evidence of delivery. It was a photo of the parcel on her doorstep. She lives on an enormous estate, no fence, no gate, no hedge. Doorstep visible to all passing

I have one of those Amazon yellow lockers (can't remember what they are called) about 2 miles away so, if I'm likely to be out (which these days is never), I opt for my Amazon parcel to be delivered to the locker, I can then collect it when I'm free.

Would end up a game of who’s the quickest lol

Hopefully you ... then you could get round the back, run through the house and lie on the floor under the letterbox ... just when you hear him laughing and posting that little evil card through make like a huge dog snap-snapping at his fingers and frighten him to death lol

Those cards .... ewww those cards

I wait, as it's likely to be stolen from my doorstep if it's left.

Saying that though, I didn't hear the courier leave my wool parcel on the doorstep and my dogs didn't bark. It was still there when my son got in from work.
