Anyone know where we stand legally with this :
We had a parcel delivery from Amazon today. We weren't in so they've only gone and left the parcel with the next door neighbours WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION FROM US (how dare they?!). These neighbours are total utter scum of the earth thieving bastards who we've not spoken to for over 5 years and won't in the next five years either.
Can we claim money back from Amazon?

Amazon are duty bound to advise you off there actions by way of a slip left card , if you have that and they don't hand the item to you , you could then challenge Amazon and your next door neighbour , have you knocked and asked , the trouble Amazon have is knowing what relationships folk have with their thier neighbours I would post a note outside simply saying don't leave with my neighbour for the future , good luck with the claim .
I have found them very generous in the past with dealing with undelivred compensation without much trouble.
That a bit of a cop out if Amazon came back with that. The parcel is my property and any unofficial delivery is not my problem. I paid for the item as well as the postage to be delivered to me at my address. If I'd wanted them to deliver elsewhere I would have put their address on it.
I was working in a cul de sac last week and whilst repairing a front door I saw a delivery driver knock at least five doors trying to get someone to take in a parcel for a neighbour who was out. He had no reply at any of them so came over to me and asked if I'd take it. I told him I didn't live there and would be finished working in an hour and fecking off to another job. I don't care he said, just leave it in the garage or something.
If it says "if out leave with a neighbour" on the parcel would that be a get out for them?
I see alot of parcels dumped on the front step, behind the bins, left behind the gate etc etc
In the US they have the term " porch pirates ", they actually have 2 cars, driving around after the couriers, one will drop back and pick up the parcel, the other will follow the van ( they take turns in it both so they are not seen )
I remember a few years ago when I was getting a new phone, the delivery guy and I arrived at the door at the same time (I was on my way home from school). He asked me to open the door to verify that I lived at my house as he was worried about the 'porch pirates' seeing the delivery
Took delivery of a parcel today for some neighbours.
Trouble is I can't stand them and don't really want to knock their door to give it to them. Haven't really spoken to them since I complained about their loud music and weird parties where people would turn up wearing hats made of tin foil. Whole place stinks of coconuts aswell.
This board has always been a great place to come for advice so what should I do? Take it around? Wait for them to pop over (they wont)? or wear the gimp suits myself?
