Shady neighbour

[michellebartley]

Friday 7.45am I think possibly my Ebay parcel may have been nicked from my front door as I heard and saw courier attempting to deliver it. Think it would have been Australia post contractor (also viewed a scuffle with someone) then saw courier leave to get back into post van, went to check for parcel but no luck. Parcel from Canada, no track number. Saw somebody grab courier by his top, positive it was female attacking him . Would have been person who lives in my block of flats. Saw all this from my loungeroom window. Could anyone advise me what to do at all? I have home contents insurance. I am hoping courier put parcel back into van due to the trouble. Very very distressing. Would have run to front door but was in pyjamas. Spoke with post office this morning personally but they did not seem that concerned. Any good ideas about what I can do?

I've never seen anybody have so many issues with ebay purchases in all the years I have been an ebay member.

(and not on this id all that time.)

I don't think Michelle actually has issues.

She either likes the drama or the company

Imastawka - agree 100%!

All of her stories so far (those that I have read) were a total fabrication, lies - and not even well tought out and constructed to be even remotely beleivable.

They never intended to hurt anyone, it looks like they are cries for help - or people contact & attention.

Unfortunately, Ebay boards are very impersonal place, no one really knows anyone else, and almost impossible to offer any help in a practical sense to lonely people.

Always very sad to see people in those situations

I am still pursuing it so I really hope and prey that the item turns up shortly. Fingers crossed and toes.Been to post office plus police station. Hope to get a breakthrough soon. But at present is making my hair stand up on end.

Michelle, settle down......it is not your place to go to the police on behalf of a driver that you THINK may have been attacked.  Leave it to the driver himself and the company he works for.

You have been told many times before that mail from Canada is very slow....the parcel you think it is is probably still on it's way.

The couriers also come via side of flats up driveway via carpark not by the normal front entrance, which is slightly dodgy I think, but not a lot I can do about it.

[lyndal1838]

Why is it dodgy for a courier to use the carpark of the flats?   It is not always easy to park on the street anywhere near where the item is to be delivered.

Couriers in the CBD will always use the dedicated courier spots in carparks rather than a loading zone on the street any day.  It is a lot safer.

If you start making demands as to where the courier has to park to deliver your items you will be told to collect your parcels from the depot.  Is that what you want?

the police are just going to think you are a whack job Michelle.

Even though I live in a very wide street, with lots of available parking out the front, more often that not the delivery driver pulls into the driveway. Nothing dodgy about it. It puts him/her closer to my front door and can save time, rather than running in from out the front. Delivery drivers are very busy and are expected to be in 10 places at once. If they can cut a few seconds to a minute or 2 off a delivery by parking closer, they will.

Are you concerned they may decide to offload your parcels to the dodgy neighbours by parking in the car park, instead of giving them to you? Why don't you install CCTV,  then you can keep an eye on all their activity to make sure none of your parcels get given to the dodgy neighbours on purpose?

Call the police ...

You don't want these kind of thieves in your neighborhood!



Be on full alert. Especially because Christmas is coming near,

and thieves go into 24 hour shifts . Keeping themselves away with PEP pills.



Sorry to hear what happened to you.

POLICE !
