Did I do something wrong ?

F her. You did her a favour whilst she was out, our driver just leaves them on people’s doorstep and my neighbour had some left in the rain so I went out put them in a carrier bag and behind her gate. It’s the neighbourly polite thing to help each other.

I always thought that when you have a delivery you have the option to add where you’d want it delivered if you’re not going to be in, like by the bins or shed or if you wanted a neighbour to take it in or if you just want it sent back etc. so you’re not in the wrong at all, I’d have appreciated anyone that takes a parcel for me 😅

I would’ve said to her that you was taking it in to be helpful. Next time let them leave it on the door step to be stolen or rained on!

@BeckyI’ve always seen things on yodel , evri and more it gives you options to avoid neighbours or deliver to a safe place I really didn’t mean to upset her or cross a line 🤷🏻‍♀️

First of all, she can absolutely make her choice of where she wants her parcel to be left at. If it means no to neighbours, then she can request that too via app. While at it, she might want to add a note to anyone that she is a Karen. What a sad human! And as for you, carry on being nice. We need more nice people.

I took in a parcel for a neighbour yesterday, never spoke to them or even seen them (they’ve not long moved in) they are number 12, I’m number 40! I took it round to them this evening and the cheeky man said ‘oh yeah, we were wondering when you were going to bring it round’ is it our job to hand deliver the parcels now?🙄

She sounds like a prick tbh. And she should make sure to tell the courier she doesn’t want it going to neighbours

I clicked yes before I read it fully But no, you did nothing wrong x

You did nothing wrong at all, screw her. One of our neighbours was really cheeky one year (we don’t know them as they live down the other end of the road) they are 26 and we are 27 but they are on the even side of the street at the bottom and we are on the odd side at the top. They ordered wine from majestic wines and put on the delivery notice ‘please deliver to neighbours at 27’!!!! They were going to be on holiday when the order came (so not sure why they ordered) and when they came to collect 2 weeks later my husband gave them what for and the man actually said “we’ve seen you walking with a very young baby so assumed your wife was on maternity leave and would be home”. 😡😡😡😡😡😡

I second Lauren! Cheeky cow! You might want to check your preferences on delivery apps too - some specifically say don’t leave with neighbour at number whatever…. Just so you don’t have to go to her although sounds like she wouldn’t take them anyway 🥴

Definately sounds like a her problem. What a crappy neighbour she’ll be sure to make lots of friends :) we work remotely so take in all the parcels on our little close if anyone was shitty to me they can shove their parcel where the sun don’t shine :)

How rude of her! You were just being neighbourly - in our street we always take parcels in for each other x

You've done nothing wrong, fuck that miserable, rude cow!! She doesn't seem nice at all

You did nothing wrong. I used to love when my old neighbours would take in my parcel, even though we didn’t have a relationship. It saved me from arranging redelivery.

Sounds like it her problem, you did nothing wrong and was trying to help. I'm always grateful a neighbours takes my parcels if I'm not in, and I'll always do it for my neighbours

Wow, what an ungrateful cow she is lol. Don't let it bother you OP, you did her a favour and she saw her arse, the weirdo!

Omg she was so rude she should be thanking you not complaining

You didn’t do anything wrong at all and not to defend her but maybe she’s having an off day? When we moved home we got into a huge blow up with our neighbours and when she found out I was expecting a few years later she sent me loads of baby clothes and though we hardly talk we always send each other Christmas gifts etc. probably not the most ideal first interaction but hopefully it’s just a one off x

You did nothing wrong. If they want their parcels bounced back and forth for a few days because they miss the delivery or having it thrown over their gate that's up to them I guess. I've had a few packages dropped off by accident to us and I've used the local Facebook page to find the person as it's actually got my address on it. Everyone's happy when you go hey they left this with us while you were out. Not had someone go oi don't take my parcels in yet, but I always make sure they're delivered when I see they're in

She is a f weirdo. You are actually very good neighbor x

@Jasmine unbelievable! People really have a cheek!

@Kerry 🇬🇧💕 and they gave you a couple of bottles the box…?! I already know the answer 🤣 what a cheek, people are absolutely unbelievable!!

Well when she needs help with something, she better not expect you to be available! It makes me so sad that people are so defensive. In my neighbourhood we do all sorts for each other and take in parcels. She’s the one missing out. Keep being kind you 🥰

She sounds like a cow. You did nothing wrong!

Wow she was annoyed at you for doing her a favour. You’ve done nothing wrong just remember in the future to refuse parcels for her.

Thanks everyone — well, at least now I know she doesn’t want her parcels collected while she’s away. My husband just reminded me it was actually a redelivery too! She wasn’t in the first time and they knocked on our door to ask if we could take the parcels in, but we weren’t home (he spoke to them through the Ring doorbell). I get that some people like to keep things private — maybe she didn’t want me seeing her name, or maybe it was something personal or important. That’s totally fine. But let’s be real — DHL, DPD, Yodel, Evri, and Royal Mail all let you leave delivery instructions. You can mark a safe place, choose specific neighbours to avoid, or even tick “don’t leave with any neighbours” at all. (And yep — I spent last night going through all my deliveries ticking “Do not leave with No. 70” just to be sure.) But honestly, bad day or not, there’s no need for unkindness. When my daughter was born at 24 weeks, we had just moved into this house. I went into labour unexpectedly,

and we ended up living at the Ronald McDonald House for four months while she was in NICU. We left our home still packed up — boxes everywhere — and just walked away from it to be with her. It was the hardest time of my life, and even then, I still made a point to be kind to others. It really doesn’t cost anything to treat people with decency.

Exactly no matter how bad your day is there is no need to be unkind. It’s not like you stole her parcel 🤦🏽‍♀️ you were keeping it safe for her.

@Siobhan completely agree I also didn’t think it was an issue as she’d always smile at my daughter and willow would chuckle back

@Claire my husband did jokingly say that we’ll have a bottle for our troubles but no we didn’t get anything.

Wow Think I'd be taken back by that response as well 😱

I would have just said "ok I'll just make sure they're left out to be stolen" .... Because that's what most delivery drivers do these days 😂. Our next door neighbour actually took one of ours off our doorstep the other week and left us a note because he didn't want it getting nicked! Also. Like you've said, if she doesn't want her parcels left with anyone then it's her responsibility to leave that on the delivery instructions on her orders.

No not in the wrong at all. How would you know not to do it if she had never communicated it. If she doesn't want the delivery drivers giving it to someone else then she needs to be home when they are delivering. You've done a favour so they didn't have to take the package back. Now she has said she doesn't want you to do it then you know not to if the delivery drivers ask. We've had the opposite, one of our neighbours wrote us down as a safe place to give packages for all their deliveries without even communicating it to us because she realized we were home a lot 😅

She sounds weird
