If you take in a parcel for your neighbour are you:
A - waiting for them to come and get it as you've done them a favour and you're unsure if/when they're in
B - taking it round there a few hours later again unsure if they're in and keep doing so until someone eventually answers.
I normally do A, as it goes the other way too if one of my neighbours have my parcel I just go and grab it at my earliest opportunity, theyve done me a favour why should they go out of their way? I always assumed this was the case but apparently I'm wrongš

I donāt always track my things and if it isnāt outside my door, then I assume it never came or somebody stole it. If anything Iād leave a note on my neighbors door that I had it, so then they can come get it when theyāre home & hopefully Iāll be there.

If I get my neighbors package I just set it on their porch but I live next to a bunch of retired ppl so they tend to be home .
@Mariam via tracking, usually states where they've left it (with neighbour at no ?, porch ect

Over here, they arenāt permitted to leave it with a neighbor. So if a neighbor had it, then that means they grabbed it themselves. The delivery people canāt just leave it with them. Theyāve gotta leave it on the porch or come back another day

donāt know how it is in the US, but in the UK anytime a courier leaves your package elsewhere, they drop a note through your door explaining where your parcel is.
I always do A, and then if one day has passed, itās B and Iāll try and catch them on their way out in the morning/when they get back from work in the evening.

We donāt do that in the US.

I do B, itās not mine I want it out my house as soon as possible not taking up spacešš also refusing to pop next door to drop off a parcel isnāt very neighbourly is it š anyway I take it round when I see them or that there car is there, itās only happened once at our current address tho and once the other way around too where our parcel went to them and they just did the same, gave it to us when they saw us passing xx

i voted it depends. i take it in and usually itās when theyāre at work, and they either come and get it when they get it (presumably a note was left from the courier to say it was left next door) but if i notice theyāre home but havenāt come, iāll go and take it as i assume they arenāt aware or are busy :) x

I know my neighbors so I would go get my package. I did get my further up the street neighbors package to my house accidentally (it had my house number on it but her name) I kept it, didnāt open it and she left a note saying it was hers. I took it to her door when I saw it.

we donāt usually have porches here lol, our houses are teeny tiny compared to most US homes š¤£

Thatās not a thing in Canada. They just leave it on the porch or in some cases theyāll leave a door sticker telling you to pick it up at the post office (the sender will specify this if itās a valuable item).

I got groceries delivered to my door and they were my neighbors. I just left them at her door, knocked, and walked away

I do A but after all while day Iād take it to them

I would just set it on their porch

My neighbors actually call me to collect their packages if they aren't home so they just stop by when they get back.
If I didn't get a call but took the package to keep it safe, I would call them and let them know I have it so they can pick it up when they get in or B and just keep trying.

Itās never gone to a neighbours unless the actual address on the parcel was wrong in the first place. When I moved house I forgot to put in my new address so when it said ādeliveredā I drove back to my old address to grab it. There is no situation here where theyāll deliver to a neighbour

D had no choice someone flung my neighbours parcel into my yard, nearly tripped up on it and it could've broke my window

I wait a day or two or go to theirs at the end of the day when I see they are home. There is no big deal on who should be the one doing what.

I have walked over to a neighbors and delivered a package that was wrongfully delivered at mine. If they're not home I'd just leave it on their doorstep unless it needs fridgerating. Then I'd leave a note stating that it's at my place and to come grab it.

I go round once later that night if they havnt came for it and i do look out for them coming back but if they arnt in they can come and get it

I'll go and fetch a parcel as soon as I'm home from neighbour, but if I've taken a parcel in for a neighbour I'll drop it round to them if I see they're home. So i guess both? š¤·āāļø

B as round my area they don't leave notes to say they have been and after doing a ove had parcels for days

As the neighbour, I'd wait for you to bring it over because I find drivers never leave a card so I have no clue who they left my parcel with, and don't want to randomly knock. If I've taken a parcel in, I'll just look out for them or if there's a car on the drive, will knock because someone is likely in

I wait until they come ask for it.

Depends which neighbour ššš my immediate next door neighbour I can see when they come home so if Iām paying attention Iāll deliver it if itās convenient for me.
