I've had dealings with multiple couriers over the years.
Generally they will leave your stuff wherever you want if you're not there.
Is there a shop or garage nearby, maybe one of your neighbours?

How do i put this politely? Winking windows here, wouldn't give you the steam off their piss here. I wonder though do ye think i could get deliveries to the local post office ?

How about they leave your stuff at the back of your house? They've done that for me I the past. They don't need signatures once you agree this verbally.

That might be a great idea if i can get them to agree to this. ;D

Just make sure you've got a spot that's dry and not too hot if you've got yeast on the way.

mr hoppy

john's right, i've never actually physically signed for anything from DPD.

You'll probably be ok with yeast as well - just give it a bit of TLC before you pitch it.

My regular driver used to know to throw the package over the back gate if I wasn't home. He got a few homebrews here and there cos he was curious.

Yep i think a friendly chat with the local depot would be in order, could make life a lot easier. Hope they are better to deal with than Fastaway main office. ::)
