I sold a Lego set a few months ago and sent it via Royal Mail, did tracked, signed for everything. All seemed fine. Three weeks later got a message “is there a problem with this order?”, I assumed it was someone trying to pull a fast one and get refunded for a Lego set I saw was delivered.

Turned out it’s been delivered to a flat a few doors down three weeks earlier, no note through the door, and the neighbour had just kept hold of it. The tracking info I had, when I checked it, just said “left with neighbour” so this woman had to pretty much confidently approach five neighbours saying “a parcel has been left with you” until she found the right one. Who handed it over but apparently was a bit grudging about it

Had something sent tracked by RM a couple of weeks ago and the postie signed for it on my behalf (getting my name wrong, natch) then left it in the stairwell of a different building, never to be seen again.
