Post Packet left on driveway

looksee

Just for balance, most of the deliveries to me are well dealt with - I don't recall any problem ones. An Post come to the door and hand it over, or leave it in the agreed safe space. One time the postman rang me to ask where he should leave it - I had left the house about 5 minutes earlier. Couriers likewise are sound about handing them over or stashing them. The very odd one gets left at the front door, which as it happens is out of sight of the road so safe enough. I have never had one left in the rain.

To be honest its unrealistic to expect every parcel to be handed over to the customer, there is simply too many parcels every day for drivers. The backlogs would be ridiculous if you had to bring back every parcel to the depot that no one was home for.

Ah now, stop trying to be sensible.

Yeah, but Fastway often don't even attempt to find a reasonable place to put it or even do a courtesy doorbell ring. My partner works from home AND we have a porch to put packages in. One day I had a delivery notification from Fastway but saw from our ring system that it wasn't in the porch. Other half was at home so went to look for it. They had thrown it over the fence. Now we have a corner house, so if he could have thrown it in to the back garden. Instead he threw it over a fence onto the pavement outside were anyone could have picked it up. He could have just popped it on the porch but was so committed to his throw and leggit delivery system that he hadn't even clocked we had a porch.
