Officially drivers are instructed not to do this so no it would not be ok.

Whether or not the driver in questions follows instructions to the letter is a different matter altogether lol.

i know some postmen do give parcels to neighbours. But it is royal mail policy note to (parcelforce is part of RM).

As a postman ,i do not leave stuff next door unless i am proofpositive that they are v friedly ( even turning down offers to take stuff).

Tho  an exception did occur yesterday, i did leave it with the neighbour who offered to take aparcel. The reason for my change? Well I dont think the original sender had realised the emdarresment he would cause if the lady had to turn up at my office to claim it. She would have to have asked for a parcel addressed to 'LITTLE MISS GOODTIME'   yes written in big and bold in quotes.

parcel force office. But read the card if they turn up when u are not in. U should be able to request a re delivery the next day ( or indeed any suitable day), and may be able to request a drop off at an alternate address ( ie work or college if that is OK or  at your next door). For a 50p charge you may well be able to askthem to take it to your local post office, then you can go get it there. But read the card fully, suprisingly we do prefer to deliver --the admin time of keeping stuff is horrible.

Wow im answering a question  that i know atleast somat about ---now thats a 1st ;D
