Neighbour signed for it...then said they didnt want to be responsible for it so left it "outside" in the hallway??
In the real world they would be responsible for it once they signed for it but in the reality of this corrupted world and its "legal" system... who knows....
Don't put neighbours on the delivery details unless they are friends. The delivery info I put on orders is "Do not leave with any neighbours" So if they do I have comeback.
I heard a story where a lad had a fishing tackle delivery land in a neighbours house...who promptly sold it on "anti" social media... he got wind of it but dont think he ever got anything back from the ***t.
I've had a couple of deliveries from DPD recently, very courteous and jolly....and even pointed out that there was a package from someone else lying against the garage door that a numpty had left there (obviously too difficult to walk another 5 yards up the street to find the front gate and path to front door...all while we were in the house ..waiting for it!!)
The package was Scottish supplies from Ramseys of Carluke.... other suppliers of blackpudding, fruit pudding stick, are available if you like second best..... And because they use cool packs and proper insulated boxes, everything was still cold even 3 days later.. cant praise them enough...

My mate bought himself a new mobile. He argued but they insisted they couldn't deliver it to his work address for security reasons it had to be his home address. He arrived home one night and found the phone on his back lawn. They had thrown it over his 6ft high gate.

Im sure if you sign for a parcel, or even take it in, then its classed as the responsibility for it passes to you at that point. If you cant handle this then dont sign for someone else's parcel.
The neighbour who decided to leave parcels in a shared hallway as they didnt want to be responsible situation is just pathetic. Once you accept a parcel you hold it in care for the owner. If you allow it to be stolen, its your fault. Surely there is no legal defence to that?
The supplier assuming the cost is bizarre and only to save face and look good in this event, thats not how this works. Id love to see how the neighbour would have gone in a court situation about the loss of the parcels in the article.
The fact this neighbour was 3 floors down im sure breaks the 'leave with neighbour' clause in the fine print as well. it would be hard to argue 'neighbour status' between floors of high rise. Its like an adjoining property behind you being on a different road. Its geographically incorrect to call that person a neighbour for the purposes of delivery, and often a totally different post code in the uk etc.
