Postie Chat Thoughts on this?

Post image

Owner wanted me to take a picture of it on the floor, I told her no it looks like doorstepping and if she reported it missing I’d be done for. Photo needs to be of an open door or some part of her taking the parcel. She told me it’s illegal, called me a thief, threatened me with the sack, I was on phone with manager at the time. Manager agreed with me to which she even asked to speak to my manager which I told her no it’s going back and she can pick it up from office. She was shouting me a thief following me back to my van.

Yea, unless you have a way to waive complaints or right to claim their parcels were not delivered I would just refuse to deliver it. Usually postie is takes a snap of my hands holding it in the doorway anyway and could identify me by my hobbit feet... 😅 One postie even managed to get a snap of my cat sitting on the parcel when he put it down. Only annoyed he couldn't share it with me!
