Parcel for Vanessa Berry on Effingham Road
I've had a parcel delivered in error for Vanessa Berry on Effingham Road and the full house number is obscured on the label. If you're on here Vanessa, do drop me a line so I can reunite you with your parcel!

Never accept parcels at your address with someone else's name on it (unless you know them).

Because the delivery and sale will be logged to your address, if payment is defaulted on you will get the bailiffs. Tenants in the flats opposite us tried to do the same except that I refused to sign and accept any items and they were sent back.

It is, and it's happened, why would someone else use your address and not theirs?.

What do you mean, use your address? We're talking about taking a parcel addressed to your neighbour, with your neighbour's address on it. That can't create some sort of liability on your part to the sender of the parcel.

On the original post it states 'the full house number is obscured', I sit with my advice although it's probably a genuine error, the scam is known as 'brushing'.

Your advice was "never accept parcels at your address with someone else's name on it" which would be read as meaning any parcel addressed to someone else. You clearly mean something much more narrow (and rare) which is essentially a form of identity theft.

Two different things here. Katia accepted a parcel for Vanessa but the postman delivered it to the wrong address. Now Katia is trying to find Vanessa.
Xavier is warning us not to accept parcels addressed to others but send to your address with your address on them in case the contents aren't paid for. Which is what the people who placed the order might have intended.
Xavier and our local solicitor Spiderman are just misunderstanding each other.

Thanks maladyboy but as there is no house number it could well be Katia's address but we don't know, maybe there's an invoice on the outside of the box, that should have the correct address on it.

I had a package delivered to a neighbour - because the person I bought the item hand wrote the address and out of stupidity wrote the wrong number in the address. Fortunately it wasn't sent back and when I enquired about the missing parcel the seller emailed me the receipt so that I could enquire at the delivery office. Then I saw the wrong address and was able to go along the street and collect it.
