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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
