This is not a problem between you and your neighbour, it’s the retailers problem. They either need to make sure you receive the item or a refund. Unfortunately given they’re in the Czech Republic it might be difficult to enforce if they don’t play ball. For £130 it’s unlikely to be worth the hassle.0 -

I think this part of consumer rights legislation needs to be updated to reflect the current day changes. If you look on the majority of delivery company websites, it states that if you are not in then we will attempt to deliver to a neighbour. Which I personally think is fair, but then I do live on a lovely close with great neighbours.I just find it slightly annoying that the OP admits they have happily had their parcels taken in by neighbours over the years. It appears you ordered the perfume, knowing it would be delivered when you was out of the country - so no doubt expecting your neighbour to take it in as they usually do.I think it's kind of devious in this situation knowing that your neighbour has lost the item, to try and claim that it hasn't been delivered.2

If the various courier companies and Parcel Force have been leaving packages with the neighbour for 3 or 4 years without any complaint from the OP, I don't think the OP will get very far if they now try to claim that a package was left with the same neighbour without permission. I think the OP will just have to accept that this item is lost and purchase again. I think it would be totally unfair to blame the neighbour as the OP must have known they were in the middle of major works and were moving out of the house.
