Intersting idea...I had an Amazon package stolen off my porch this week, the thief opened it and saw it was the novel Watership Down, then threw it back on my porch. Stolen packages are a way of life in my neighborhood.
- merb 9y agowell that's sad for you and good that you do not live in germany. most post services will actually give the package to your neighborhood if you are not at home. the first week in my new neighborhood took me a while to track some missing packages down. (well instead of bringing me the packages, which the people now do they wanted to know me, so they waited till I came to them...)
- komali2 9y ago"to your neighborhood" Wait, was this a translation error? Did you mean "neighbor?" Or is there some "neighborhood representative" in every neighborhood in Germany?
- dspig 9y agoHe means to whichever neighbor the delivery person found first.
- majewsky 9y agoNo, "to a neighbor" is correct. Although the delivery guy will not make a dedicated effort to find an available neighbor because of time constraints. I suppose that when they deposit the package with a neighbor, it's because the neighbor received a package themselves, so they could ask them to take your package as well while signing off on their package. Most of the time, when you cannot receive your package personally, you'll get a card telling you to pick it up at a branch office of the postal services (which usually means some small unrelated shop like a drugstore).

- dazc 9y agoI don't think this is a nationalistic issue, more a case of do you live in a major city or just somewhere else?
