There are fake parcel deliveries in the news, phone contracts especially are the main target. Please do not accept a package and sign for it if you are not expecting anything. Phones are delivered, then picked up again, but by that time it?s too late because you have signed for the package. Read on BBC news.

If that was the case he wouldn?t be saying here ?taken in? a parcel for the OP.

The phone scam happened to my work mate, they had a new 02 phone delivered in their name, then a man claiming to be a courier knocked and said it had been delivered by mistake ( how that could be if their name and address was on the package) .. my friends husband denied they had a package much ti the guys confusion and took it back to an 02 shop.

Not sure what is going on here with this one though... I'd say a cack handed attempt to see who lived there, creepy.

Just quoting the above so that it's at the end of the thread rather than the beginning.


But also wondering what the explanation was???

Good guesses but not so exciting. The guy found the parcel/empty box in the gutter outside his house. He worried that it had fallen from delivery van whereas in fact it must have fallen from bin lorry. So the man kindly delivered it back to my house, he just didn't hang around to explain fully. I jumped to a negative explanation when I couldn't understand how my recycled box had been redelivered.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
