We never spoke again....

It's ridiculous. This woman next door never says thanks either.

I took some big bags of dog food in once for a woman a few doors up. But she was very nice and apologized and thanked me. But that was only once.

When we first moved in...I took a parcel from Boden (very middleclass ) for the neighbor in the biggest house in our set of 5. Bearing in mind I hadnt met her I delivered it and introduced myself...she pretty much grunted and took the parcel like your neighbour...she went straight on the hit list...

Thing is the likes of you and I and many others are just being thoughtful and helpful but it takes nothing to say Thankyou and show a bit of appreciation...and if people cannot do that then they deserve nothing...in the long run its their loss.

It’s very rarely it happens now as people are working from home but we have always taken in parcels and had parcels taken for us with no issue ...must just be lucky

We have new neighbours now and we will do it for them...but like you say with so many working from home now it doesn't happen that much.

Actually, when you order parcels online there is sometimes an option to pick them up yourself from a shop or mall.

Yes there is. Its a great idea. I get stuff delivered to my local post office which is not that far to walk to from my house. Xx

In our local mall, there is an Amazon booth where your parcel pick-ups are stored.

You're right. I must admit though if I am expecting a parcel, it's then the postman will say, 'will you take one in for next door?' Next time I am in that position I will say no, 'I'm going out myself.'

The thing is if I take parcels in, I'm the one that cannot go out, just in case the neighbour comes for their parcel. And it's so rude to ring the doorbell at 10.20pm.
