    I would hazard a guess that he got lost and thought he was delivering to the right address. If he hadn't then it probably wouldve been delivered to one of your actual neighbours rather than someone 2-3 miles down the road (assuming 8 mins is walking distance).

    How fast do you walk - 2-3 miles in eight minutes :):)

    It was Amazon Logistics, yes. I was thinking if it's the same driver who delivers my replacement tomorrow then I could ask him where he delivered it previously. I'd also be very interested to know why a) he didn't just deliver it to me. There was no attempted delivery at my address. And b) why it was left with a 'neighbour' who lives streets away.

    Don't challenge the driver - in case he is being a little fraudulent - and Amazon Logistics/the delivery company start investigating... don't want to alert him ;)

    I had a strange one with DHL this week.
    Ordered parts from carparts4less,DHL attempted delivery Wednesday,but I was out,so went on the website to indicate a safe place to leave Thursday and had confirmation on-screen to confirm this.
    When it didn't show I then went on the tracking to see it had been delivered ,even though I was home at the time and there was no sign of parcel,van or delivery card!
    Then this morning I looked through the multiple e mail's they sent to discover it was sent to a gym in Norwich,15 miles away,with recipients name changed also!
    So after a bit of detective work and with luck I was in Norwich ,parcel and myself were reunited.Gym staff were as bemused as me!

    Whoops fair point - brain was thinking of a general average walking speed rather than actual distance travelled. I am fast compared to average (friends sometimes have to jog to keep up and remind me not everyone has long legs) but still nowhere near 2-3 miles in 8 minutes :rotfl:

    It is possible the driver pressed 9 instead of 8 ot 0

    B is simple.
    These drivers are paid to 'deliver'.
    Theres no depot to leave items and they dont want to waste fuel coming back.

    I’m going to take a punt and assume that your a postie..... what would your manager say if customers started saying that packets your ment to be delivering are not turning up?

    Is this in the context of the OP?
    If not I dont see your point?
