    One house either side, or maybe two?

    Depends very much on whether it's a village where everybody knows everyone and the postie knows who's friends with whom or if it's a "dormitory town" where nobody knows anybody!

    You are supposed to be able to tell Royal Mail if you do not want parcels left with neighbours &/or you don't want to accept them on neighbour's behalf.

    They usually put a card through stating the address it was left at. Have they not?

    It would depend on the type of housing. Large, detached houses I would say the house either side. Terraced housing could encompass 6 houses either side as this would be a similar distance as a large detached.

    No they didn't.
