If I would have come to the door, there would have been some words about why he had waited 3 days to bring it over.
oooorrr..
thank your neighbour for taken the parcel for you so it would not have to bumped around for another 2 days so you get receive it?
Maybe.. If you are notified the parcel has been delivered, you could go to your neighbour and ask whether it was delivered there? I know that is what I do. I am always gratefull when someone received a parcel for me, and I always make a point of asking my direct neighbours whether they accepted something for me.
Point is, It is your parcel. I feel it is YOUR duty to get it. The neighbours point of view might well be.. This parcel has been here three days. Why are they not coming over to collect it. Now I have to go outside and lug another box to them...
