P739 and back to the office, thats what I have been doing, I very rarely leave anything with a neighbour and only if its officially listed as a safe place. :no no

My job is more important than their convenience.

At times like this I wish we had a "like" button to click cos I would "like" this myself !

No.
Far better to sign for it yourself and deliver it to the correct address. :Very Happy
We were effectively threatened with the sack if we do that in our office.
What have I done to deserve this?

I was joking - hence the smiley face at the end.
You don't sign for anything - it is a sackable offence.

Am I right in thinking that people should put a little RM issued sticker on their letterboxes, indicating which neignbour they want the packet left with?

No.
The sticker is only if they want to opt out of the scheme.
Otherwise the choice of neighbour is at the postie's discretion.

I have noticed some with an added scribble saying "Leave at No.. ONLY" or "leave in green bin" etc.

These could make life easier but they still get 739d and returned to DO

Thanks mate. It hasn't made a jot of difference on my round then, and probably most others. Didn't realise I'd been breaking the law for the last two years by leaving packets with neighbours I know :shock: At least I won't go to prison now
