    If I lived there the only "annoyance" I would feel is if they were beeping/revving or just generally being loud. I work night shift so sleep during the day and my god do my colleagues know if I've had a bad sleep :rotfl:

    I don't think there is any issue if they are being careful on where they park (not blocking anyone) and just doing there job (nice and quietly).

    I used to live in a cul-de-sac and all the courier firms used to block it everytime they made a delivery as they would just stop anywhere with no regard for others.

    Lol. Well OP there are certainly some posters on here that you must be hoping are not your neighbours.

    Personally though it wouldn't bother me.

    When I read the first post, I thought what a considerate neighbour and was going to suggest just speaking to them asking them if they'd had any issues with it until I kept on reading and realise all OP cares about is not being reported due to potential evading tax... ok ok, maybe it's both!

    I have cats and if I'd bought a house in a quiet cul de sac where they might be safe I'd be livid if someone started running a business there with 4 deliveries a day, even more so if I were a parent who'd bought somewhere that children could play safely out the front.

    Wow. Is this imaginary cul de sac a car free one too? What if someone is moving house there, would you be livid if they used a van, or even... a truck to move their possessions?!

    Do people really pay that much attention to their neighbour's comings & goings?:eek:


    Took me nearly 3 weeks to notice my neighbour had a new car:o

    So long as the OP is always there to receive the deliveries, this wouldn't bother me. I might get annoyed though if the OP is often out (on business) and I keep getting asked to take in his/her parcels for them.

    There can be something quiet comforting about the routine of deliveries to neighbours' houses...... but it depends on the noise/obstruction caused by those in a confined area.

    If each van was a noisy diesel with the radio blaring, reversing "beeps", slamming of the van door, driver knowing you and shouting across as you opened the door in anticipation, more slamming of doors, loud radio and revving up as they left .... that could become tedious during the summer months.

    Personally, I'd be intrigued as to what business you're running as 4 deliveries/day indicates you're doing well and I might want a slice of that :)
