RE: UPS keeping your parcels safe



I couldn't find the article on Marks site for the secure parcel box, but
here is a link to another such a device:

Might solve some of the parcel delivery problems.....

Didn't Mark have a review on his site for somekind of secure box where
parcels could be put in but not retrieved ?

I'm always in two minds about this. Invariably if I want something in a
hurry, the delivery company wont leave it - if it could wait it gets left
somewhere. At least twice, delivery drivers have discovered my wife has left
the garage open and left them there - though apparently I'm assured it was
locked when she left :-).

Fortunately now we live next to a friendly old retired gentleman. Almost all
parcels now seem to get left with him - and get magically delivered about 20
mins after I get home in the evening - it really is the best of all worlds
:)

> Talking of witch, my next door neighbour came round before Christmas
asking me if I had taken in a large box of expensive wine from abroad he had
been sent, he said the delivery people he phoned said they had left it next
to 2 dustbins, well I have 3 dustbins outside my back door, 1 for rubbish
and 2 for sawdust for the Meerkats so he thought it had been left with me. I
said I doubt it as my rear gate is locked and not easy to climb over but we
looked anyway....nothing..

Hall that my neighbour did not know about so we looked there and sure enough
there was the delivery right next to the bins!!!!!!
