Stop Your Parcels From Doing a Vanishing Act

Stop Your Parcels From Doing a Vanishing Act

📦 Protect Your Parcels, Eastcote! 📦

(Because your new socks deserve better than disappearing at the doorstep)

Dear Eastcote residents,

We love online shopping almost as much as delivery drivers love a tight schedule. Sadly, unattended parcels sometimes decide to go on an adventure that doesn’t include you. To keep your deliveries safe, warm, and very much yours, please consider the following parcel‑protecting superpowers:

✅ Smarter Delivery Options

Deliver to a neighbour – the trusted kind, not the one who “accidentally” opens packages.

Safe place delivery – behind a bin, shed, or somewhere only you and the courier know (not “front doorstep”).

Parcel lockers / collection points – secure, reliable, and drama‑free.

Workplace delivery – as long as HR doesn’t mind your weekly mystery boxes.

In‑store collection – gives you exercise and your parcel.

🧠 Bonus Tips

Track your delivery so you can pounce at the door like a ninja.

Choose delivery times when someone’s home.

If possible, avoid labelling the box “VERY EXPENSIVE AND EXCITING ITEM”.

Let’s keep Eastcote a place where parcels arrive… and actually stay.
Thank you for doing your part to outsmart the parcel goblins!
