Whats it all about?

Quite often I have delivery men with parcels knocking at my door and today I had one of my neighbours I think it was ,knocked at my front door ...well they knock but dont give me a chance to get to the door to open it

I have to add that im no slouch in moving and im only usually getting up from the chair in the living room and going through the kitchen to my hall to get to the front door...but even in this short space of time theyve decided apparently that "no ones home" and gone.....Im getting quite pee'd off with this kind of behaviour now...
What would you suggest? Do you have this problem too? Maybe youre speedier than I obviously am and can get to your door in time.

That has happened with me too. I think some of these delivery people who are paid 'per drop' find it more beneficial to say no one is in rather than to spend time waiting.

I have a note on my door asking them to leave nextdoor or in my back porch, that seems to work, at least I get the parcel that way, not that I order much.

Re: Whats it all about?

Most properties here are gated with post boxes and bells, or other devices, outside the property. In our case the only time the doors are closed is if nobody is in and being higher than the road we can always see if someone is there. Apart from delivery men, who if nobody is in, just go, they never leave the parcel and very few leave a note saying they were unable to deliver, but they usually turn up again later or the next day.

It often does take me a bit of time to get to the door, but I do agree no patience at all some people. Oddly tesco always wait never disappear, same with ocado, and our normal postman. If they can why can't others ?

Re: Whats it all about?

I often feel like posting a notice on my door saying "please do not knock and run"
Its ridiculous ....My postman always waits till I reach the door and also some delivery men too....it must be really awful for elderly people who cant move quickly.
