Unacceptable. If she denies receipt you could be sacked. It isn’t worth the risk. Remember, she is not your wife when in uniform, the sender is everything, notworththeriskworktotimeworktorulePDAactualsnoemotions.

No its a myth. In fact, there is a process for posties to extract their own mail so I can't see why they would ban such a practice.

I delivered to myself for about a year and it was a pain - I was never in when I knocked :crazy:

Same here, told myself to get stuffed no I'm not taking a parcel in for a neighbour.
Mind you did have its advantages the woman at my house had a bit of a reputation for "looking after" the postie !
