I got home from work today to find a Royal Mail card about a parcel they couldn’t deliver. It had a surname on it which isn’t mine, but matches the landlord that owns the house next door. The card also had a house number on it, which isn’t ours, or the house next door, but has many of the same digits as the house next door, as if written by somebody who’s not very good with numbers.
So I visit next door and ask if they have a parcel for us, but no, they’ve been out all day and they don’t have any parcels. And they say their landlord hasn’t been around all day, so he couldn’t have taken it in and given his name either.
Then I look closely at the card and it says it’s been taken back to the depot and I can pick it up from there tomorrow. Er, ok. So if it’s back at the depot, then what is the name and house number since they’re not mine?
Are those the details of the addressee, and they’ve just put the card through my door by mistake? As it happens they did also deliver one of our letters to our neighbour on the other side today, suggesting maybe they were getting their numbers muddled up.
Any guesses what I should do? Or what else might have happened?
