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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 that my package had been delivered. I searched my porch, checked with my neighbors, and even contacted customer support. It was sitting in my car's trunk because I'd picked it up from a parcel locker yesterday. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

Buy a phone online, they said. It will be fun, they said. But seriously, you have a dick neighbour. FYL

It might not be the neighbour's fault though, I've heard about some delivery people who lie and say they've left a delivery with a neighbour when they haven't.

Yeah but if they shut the door quickly then it's most likely because they got it.

This happened to my friend, he ordered a £600 graphics card, they gave it to his neighbour and the neighbour insisted they didn't receive anything. Whilst browsing in a used game/hardware store, he found the exact same model on sale that had been traded in. Another was sent to him but he got it delivered to a friend's house instead.

they had no right to leave it with a neighbor

the delivery company is liable for the cost of the merchandise or however much it was insured for. OP can file a claim with them and let them sort out whether the delivery person or the neighbor lied. either way, OP needs to not just let it go

It's also very illegal to open someone else's mail.

#31 they can and do leave deliveries with neighbours, as the customer can put in the delivery instructions to leave it with the neighbours, or somewhere secure, if they are not home. At least, that's how it is in the UK. Although, if the neighbour opened OP's mail, they are breaking the law.

When you have something delivered they can't just leave it to someone else unless you say they can and who they can leave it with and where at.
pokemyeyes 23
They can. You can leave specific instructions eg which neighbour or behind the bin or whatever but if you dont give them these instructions they can drop them off at the closest easiest location
rickAUS 22
Which should make the deliverer liable if you didnt give them authority to leave it there; at least in Australia.

Same as in the UK. They are only allowed to deliver to the intended recipient, unless requested otherwise.

Same in nz

#18 im in the UK and my neighbours always get my packages if im not there, no matter which company its from except royal mail who take it to the local warehouse
cocainewhore 30
#18 only the Royal Mail take it to the warehouse, all other delivery companies are allowed to leave it somewhere convenient or with the neighbours (although if you want it left somewhere specific then you have the opportunity to say so in the delivery instructions)
ccastillo7 11
They can leave it at the address its suppose to go to but not anywhere else unless you sign off saying they can. That's how it is here in America
pooldude 24
That right there is a theft of convenience!

There are such things as landlines. Go to the office of your complex and call the police, you have evidence with the note and I'm sure the mailman will provide his testimony.
