received parcel for someone else

make sure you get a name and extension number of the person you speak to
so in the letter you can say any financial loss they suffer because of any delay is because of X on Y extension number and it shows you have informed them aswell!

Tears, How do you know it's HDNL, other than their trademark delivery style?

If itwas delivered by HDNL Soolin should ring their local depot and tell them she is charging them £25 per day to store their parcel :-)

Lol, the delivery style was a pointer But I just assumed when soo said

got a knock at the door from a home delivery driver.

i wonder if you might be able to catch your postman in the morning? i think thats what id do or maybe even go to the postoffice depot that deals with parcels and see if they can help, sure they will once you explain that the man was rude etc, good luck xx edit to add that i know it wasnt the post office but they may be able to help x

thats right,bloody RM

lol sorry, i wasnt blaming RM, i was saying, perhaps as a last resort, theyd help find the address, and what to do with it, OP did say they googled the address of where the parcel shouldve gone, and couldnt find it, so ask RM? x

I've spoken to the company that sent the parcel. Firstly they wanted me to go and deliver it and I said no so now they have taken my phone number and have said they will tell the customer to come and get it himself.

I'm actually a bit unhappy at them giving out my number as I am ex directory, but I couldnt think what else to do and didn't want to look obstructive. I did warn them though that I go away tomorrow for a long weekend so would prefer to have it collected today or first thing tomorrow.

they seriously asked you to deliver it? classic
personally i make sure i send the same driver out to fix any mistake like that

So it's the parcel sender who're suggesting to deliver it yourself? What have HDNL actually said (presumably it'd be them that'd haveto pick it up and redeliver anyway)? Unless I've missed something the way I've read the thread is that you've only spoken to the senders.

Personally I think you've done all you can I'd forget it - omeone will come looking for it when they want it

I think that's what Lorian suggested. It probably wouldn't lead anywhere in terms of practically getting any money out of it but if they think you're "one of those awkward people" they may be spurred into action.
