I dont think its royal mail - its a blue and white card he left

Over Christmas the "red cards" do usually change to blue and white. Or they do in my area anyway.

But they are still the same as the royal mail ones, they just have the Christmas opening times of the local sorting office on instead.

No liam theres no opening times on the card at all - nothing to identify who brought the parcel.
I bet its quite lucrative for bin men - they must find loads of parcels in the recycling bins. Yes anyone could have seen the parcel being put into my bin and taken it out lol

Goodness time to go to work thankyou all for your help and have a very happy Christmas, xxx

Card through the neighbour's door saying item left in wheelie bin at X address?

That is still not proof enough. A wheelie bin is not a secure location and a parcel should not be left there.


OP, just keep it. Let the courier/postie and the neighbours worry about it, it's not your problem it was left in there.

It will be Amazon Logistics (They own their own Courier company now too). He will most likely get an email telling him where it has been left as well as the card. I missed a delivery from them yesterday and they emailed me to say it was posted through my letterbox (it was on my doorstep actually but I am in a small block of flats so didn't mind).

If he has been so unpleasant that you don't want to leave it on his doorstep, you could take it out of the bin and just dump it on the pavement. Some passing kind person might take it to his house. Someone might pinch it, or it might just be squished in the road. Any way, not your problem.

I have decided to do the fairest thing despite his behaviour. I will keep hold of the parcel until he comes for it. If he doesnt come for it then I think if I remember correctly that it is legally mine after about 4 weeks. Knowing me I would probably wait for months lol.
Amazon logistics seemingly will tell him where his parcel is anyhow. As long as I dont feel like I have stolen anything I can sleep at night.
This could lead into a phiosophical issue really. If legally it is mine after a matter of time, why would I still feel guilty if I kept it? Perhaps my conscience should lead the way rather than the law? :think:

does it have a return to sender address on? why not return to sender - under "delivered to wrong address"

daffodil

Thats a good idea I might do that curlywurly. A part of me though thinks why should I put myself out for someone who treats me badly? But its worth thinking about - I might do that only so that I would have a clear conscience, in which case I would be doing it for myself. tyx

Yes, it is yours after a matter of time... but it's a bit longer than a few weeks.

The owner has up to six years to claim their goods and during that time you have a duty to look after them properly.

If it's not yours and you did not sign for it, leave it in the bin! Neighbours parcel, neighbours problem. End of story!
