I order a lot of things online. Thankfully, knock on wood, my packages are delivered to my house without any issues. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for everyone.

In this story, one homeowner knows that the street addresses are very similar and can be confusing, but after multiple packages have been delivered to his house instead of his neighbor’s house, he’s starting to get really annoyed with Amazon.

I’d be pretty annoyed by this situation too.

AITA for not wanting to keep delivering my neighbor’s packages?

I (30M) live in a new suburban housing development with tightly packed single-family homes.

I have been here about a year and have not met any of my neighbors, other than a kind wave as we pass in the street or something like that.

When the development was planned out, the homes were laid out parallel to each other with identical numbering and only slightly varying street names.

For example, let’s say my home number is 1282 N 5375 E (these numbers are made up). I therefore have a neighbor one street down whose house number would happen to be 1282 N 5325 E.

The Amazon delivery guy seems confused.

For the past several months that neighbor’s packages (almost exclusively Amazon) keep getting delivered to my house instead of his.

While a slight bother at first, I have been willing to walk a block away and drop his packages off as a courtesy.

He is just a regular guy, probably mid-30s with kids, not an elderly person or anything like that.

I have waved and talked to that neighbor a few times, and he has said “how crazy, yeah thanks for that,” etc. etc.

OP is starting to get annoyed.

This has now gone on for several months, and the neighbor has no intention of either

1. Coming to my house to pick up his missing packages from my doorstep (he has to know they were delivered incorrectly, and that my house is the only logical place; sometimes days will go by with them just sitting there.)

2. Contacting Amazon to report misdelivered packages or to correct the shipping address.

OP had an idea.

A few days ago this happened again, and I decided to write a note (very kindly worded) that said something like “Hi, it’s me from 1282, here’s my cell phone number so you can text me so I have your number and can let you know when you can come pick up your packages when they are delivered incorrectly.”

Several days have gone by and I never received a text.

And to my chagrin, just last night another package of his was delivered to my address.

This would get annoying after awhile.

I am getting sick of having to deliver this guy’s packages for him once or twice a week (or more; black Friday was a nightmare), and I don’t want them to just sit on my porch and make it look like I’m not home.

I’ve even tried sorting out through Amazon, to no avail.

AITA for being upset at this?

The neighbor needs to start having the packages delivered to an Amazon locker or something since the delivery driver can’t seem to get the address straight.

OP needs to make it clear to the neighbor that he won’t be walking over with the packages anymore and that the neighbor will have to walk over to get them.

Let’s see if Reddit agrees.

This person thinks there are only two reasons this could be happening.

Another person says to stop delivering the packages.

this person offers some advice.

Another person’s mom is in a similar situation.

Amazon is really good about sending notifications when packages are out for delivery and when they’ve been delivered. They even include a picture. The neighbor clearly knows when the packages have been delivered, and after all this time, he also clearly knows where they have been delivered. He also has OP’s phone number.

I think OP should take the packages inside, tuck them off to the side, and wait for the neighbor to contact him about picking up his packages. Surely, he’ll want to pick them up eventually.

Also, when a package is delivered, there’s a place where you can rate the delivery. The neighbor should use this opportunity to leave feedback about the package being delivered to the wrong address. Maybe someone will eventually clue in the delivery driver that he’s delivering them to the wrong house.

This is the neighbor’s problem to solve.
