Refusing delivery... prevent package going to neighbours instead?

    I have a package arriving that I need to refuse delivery. I hope to be here when it arrives, but there's a slight chance I may not.

    I do not know who is delivering, so it will likely be An Post or similar as it's from Amazon.

    Typically delivery men leave my packages with the neighbours if I'm not in, but it can sometimes be ANY neighbour within 10 doors of me.

    If I leave a note on my door saying "I'm refusing delivery for package please don't leave it with neighbours", would that work :confused:

    Can you not find out what courier is being used and contact them to save everyone the hassle. Some companies allow you to check your delivery and make amendments, or try calling them

    I can check with Amazon but would a note not suffice?

    If the note is still on the door when the delivery guy calls I can't see a problem with it

    But why not prevent the courier from doing an unecessary journey knowing full well that you have no intention of accepting the package? If you can find out the courier name, I would just contact them

    Of course but my question was related to what happens if they arrive.

    Also as far as I know they have to be seen to attempt the delivery rather than just return a package from their warehouse.

    There was only a slight chance I wouldn't be there, but in the end I was :)
