Money: Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work....

Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work. The delivery guy left a note saying he'd left the package with my neighbor at #10. When I went and knocked on the door and asked for the package, my neighbor said "Nope, nothing delivered here." and quickly shut the door in my face. FML

Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML

What was in the box?

Today, I got a notification that a package had been delivered. I opened my door and saw it on at doorstep. I was expecting one, so I grabbed and opened it, then realized it wasn’t mine, but my neighbor’s. I had to awkwardly re-tape it, then sneak over and leave the disturbing contents of the box on their porch before they noticed. FML

Today, I got a notice on my apartment door that I'd received a package when no one was home, and it was left at the backdoor. I don't have a backdoor. FML

Today, I got a notification from a delivery carrier that my package had been delivered. I opened the door to find a perfectly wrapped box with no address, no label, and a note inside saying, "You’ll know when it’s time." I still don’t know what it means. FML

Today, I received a text saying that a package had just been delivered to the house. By the time I reached the front door, it had been stolen. FML

Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML

Christmas gifts

Today, while I was home sick from work, my neighbor got packages delivered. Our apartments have had a lot of thefts lately so, being neighborly, I brought her stuff inside to wait. When she came home, I gave them right to her. Instead of thanking me, she told the office that I was the thief all along. FML

Today, I was home alone in the dark and I heard the doorbell ring. I didn't know who it was so I didn't answer. They kept ringing, so I got a bit scared and called the police. When the police showed up, they told me it was a Chinese delivery guy with the wrong address. FML

Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML

Today, I was doing weird voice impressions for my friend right before the doorbell rang and I had the front window open. The postman looked at me strangely, handed me my parcel and didn't say a word. FML

Report them! You have the delivery guy as a witness, and I'd assume they had to sign for the package. Don't let them get away with theft!

I would be pretty mad at the delivery company too, because unless you had specified it was alright why would they assume the neighbor was going to make good and give you your stuff?

Taking mail is a Federal Crime in the United States if sent through USPS. Keep the note from your deliverer and call the police (non emergency) for information on who to contact next. Even if the deliverer left the item with a neighbor, the neighbor is not allowed to withhold or open your mail if its delivered using USPS. If it was delivered using a courier company like Fedex or UPS, contact the company and tell them the situation the deliverer left you in. They will be responsible for replacement for not delivering it to you directly. Hell, you have the note stating what they did, you will be reimbursed. Call as fast as you can as it can become difficult the longer you wait.

I've never understood the practice of leaving mail with a neighbor when you aren't home. Why would they assume you know or trust your neighbors? I'm sure this sort of thing happens to people all the time.
