Does this sound strange?

I bought a present for my dad from ebay and the item was delivered by courier, but they delivered it to my neighbour so nothing strange about that as we all sometimes take deliveries for the people next door right? I gave the guy a knock and asked if he had taken delivery of said parcel, he said that he did but took it to the post office in Rye Lane.


What I find strange about this is the fact that Sylvestre road is the obvious choice considering its only a few roads from where we live.


The other thing I find strange is the parcel was delivered by courier so they would not except a parcel from a third party or am I wrong here?


Seems odd, It was a Xmas present and I remember a situation where another neighbour had issues with this chap regarding a delivery in the past.


I think he is a thief but I won't take it further because I don't want to start a neighbours from hell situation.


Luckily the ebay seller has offered to send me another, I have to wait which means I had to buy my dad an alternative present which has put me out of pocket :(


Am I wrong?

I checked with the seller, they told me it had been signed for and told me where and when.


Post office shut so I cant check, maybe I'm being a bit hotheaded as my faith in human nature has been tarnished over the years ;(


I'll have to wait until the Rye Lane office re-opens but I'm not very confident.


Do you think the post office would take a parcel that has nothing to do with them?

Sorry Narnia, misunderstanding, what I was hoping for was the courier having left a note saying 'delivery with No.XX'.


If the guy was a thief, and the PO denies receipt, he's probably going to deny the conversation with sedgewick ever happened.


I think sedgewick, that you're going to have to assume he's on the level until you've visited the PO.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
