Call me old-fashioned, but delivery people could TRY KNOCKING, instead of flicking the door with a feather and running away immediately.
Funny how leaving a parcel on the street goes missing. 🙄

It's not just the UK - friends of mine in Belgium have terrible trouble with just exactly that problem. In rural Luxembourg where I live, you can safely leave stuff on the doorstep with almost zero chance that it will be stolen and only one delivery service regularly fails to ring the doorbell!
@Paulos_the_fog @BintyMcFrazzles Haha, how random to find someone living in Lux in the replies to someone from the UK. 😄
Couriers don’t ring cuz of time pressure tho, right? Cuz companies use cheap delivery firms cuz people expect free delivery.
OBVIOUSLY what we all need is Amazon Ring™️ doorbells everywhere! 😬
Dunno that it's that random - we all buy from Amazon and other online retailers so it's logical that we all have the same issues with deliveries!
@Paulos_the_fog OMG never mind
