I am in ireland and wondering why anytime i order anything from here the post worker never leaves the packages in my mailbox which has plenty of room for anything ive ever ordered (always personal), he always leaves a little slip of paper that says i missed him (never buzzed my house once).
This means i (or someone else) has to go into my local small town post office and sign my name with ID to collect them, this is very unnerving!
Any advice or answers from anyone?
Thanks

An Post are notorious for doing this; check out this link on the clearnet: http://www.thejournal.ie/an-post-apologises-for-delivery-gaffe-284780-Nov2011/ and do a quick internet search for "An Post delivery" and you'll come up with a huge number of people having the same issues. Obviously for legitimate packages, the usual process would be to call An Post and enquire as to why your postman is being a lazy bastard and not delivering the package he's being paid to deliver, but obviously you can't do that with illegitimate mail. The only other option would be to get packages sent by unregistered mail / to a different address with a different postman. Going to your local small town post office may be unnerving, but if you only receive the odd package it's not much worse than standing at your door and signing for it. There's nothing suspicious about receiving a delivery slip and going down to the post office to receive the package; hell, you don't know who sent it to you!
If you act / look suspicious, you'll seem suspicious. If you try too hard NOT to act suspicious, you'll seem suspicious. If you convince yourself that the package you're picking up contains those new parts you ordered for your guitar, or the new set of earphones you ordered (and I mean REALLY convince yourself to the point that you almost doubt whether the Silk Road was all a dream after all or not), then you'll just seem like another ordinary Joe Soap picking up his package that the lazy as fuck postman decided to just leave a slip for. If he's doing it consistently to you, then he's likely doing it to pretty much everyone else too.
And just one more thing, always always ALWAYS make sure you clear your browser history and search fields etc. if you enter tracking numbers into it. There's nothing better than a tracking number that's on both the package and your browser to link you to the "crime"!
Head's all over the place at the minute, so anyone else feel free to correct me on any above issues!! :)

Thanks for that Graham ya it seems like theyre just lazy and not doing their job right without suffering any consequences, i guess just play it cool collecting and if anything goes wrong just deny, deny, deny! and it should be alright in the end i guess. And i always clear my history after using trackers.
Thanks
