I am currently away from home and felt the need to halt my mail so that my DH didn't stack the parcels up whilst I was away- as is in keeping with his sense of humour.<br /> The post office that is a branch located in a news agency is our local. He went there today. The woman in the shop/PO asked him if we wanted the halt lifted now, because clearly he was home!!!! Sprung. Do we think I need to move towns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-972967 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 02:19:34 +0000 Karie 972967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!

Archer had me laughing out loud! Of course I had to read some of the post to my DH.<br />I think I'm lucky to live very close to stores I like to shop in, although I do a fair amount of fabric shopping online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-972302 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 01:49:24 +0000 siniestra 972302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha kinda like me but im well known in the usps office in my town lol i send lots of packages&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-971624 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:58:34 +0000 lyn* 971624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My post man knows my name too!

We give our delivery guy&nbsp;a gift each year for Christmas. We live a long way back on a winding road so&nbsp;if we cross paths on the way in/out we also&nbsp;stop so he can give us our packages and he can save the extra 15 min. drive time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-971530 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:23:12 +0000 hedgiehog 971530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so funny! You were found out! :)</p> <p>When my children were little, my Mum used to baby sit them. One day, the UPS truck delivered something to my house and they asked my why the QVC man was coming to see me.<br /> I inquired why they called him that and they said it was the same truck that delivered all of Grandma's QVC goodies so they assumed he worked for QVC! I had a good laugh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-971528 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:14:23 +0000 K. Period. 971528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA! I'm pretty convinced my house has become one of the anchor points on my UPS delivery folks' routes. &nbsp;I'm not an anchor tenant, I'm an anchor addressee! &nbsp;</p> <p>You and I both know that&nbsp;a lot can come in and be returned due to our circumstances. &nbsp;A busy schedule, a love of fashion and PPP&nbsp;combined lead to lots of shipping and returning. &nbsp;Ain't nothing wrong with that. It keeps people employed. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-971492 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:05:33 +0000 Glory 971492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm chiming back into to say that DH has recently started ordering online and picking up things from Lee Valley. They sell an odd assortment of things but I figure this works to my advantage and his eyeballs can't be rolling too far, if he is doing the same. Although, caveat, no returns. hahaha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person/page/2#post-971441 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:08:55 +0000 Sarah A 971441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! <br />For DH: I love this camera... waterproof shockproof great for outdoors use and take a pretty decent picture too!</p> <p>Panasonic DMC-TS3<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-TS3-Waterproof-Stabilized-2-7-Inch/dp/B004KKZ0KG" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Panasoni.....B004KKZ0KG</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-971434 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:05:18 +0000 Thistle 971434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny!

I have 7 more pairs of shoes on the way to join the 3 I already bought for the wedding but only one will stay. If they were available in a B&amp;M store I would rather sit there trying them on. If these sizes don't work out I might not even have time to order a different size. Anyway, my point is I don't shop much, it just looks like it. </p> <p>When do we get to see your trench?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-971103 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 03:59:46 +0000 Echo 971103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know my UPS man well enough that he says hello to me at other places, waves to me on the road, and I ask him about his kids when I see him. My DH definitely thinks this is a problem! He says anytime someone knows the delivery guy on a first-name basis, they buy too much. Fortunately, DH travels a lot, so he doesn't see the half of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970996 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 01:27:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 970996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I have a post office box </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970986 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 01:19:27 +0000 minime 970986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops!!me too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970963 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 00:41:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 970963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your delivery stories ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970957 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 00:32:52 +0000 Nicole D 970957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these guys need to have a code of conduct whereby they do not bust those who are frequent online shoppers! &nbsp;A little understanding&nbsp;would&nbsp;go a long way. &nbsp;Now, off to open my package from shopbop.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970931 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 23:01:29 +0000 DonnaF 970931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a chuckle, Archer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970928 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:52:33 +0000 Deborah 970928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! My hubby actually orders on line more than I do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970923 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:46:03 +0000 Archer 970923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha same problem<br /> . A few weeks ago I asked my delivery guy could he put me on the end of his run in my area which he said he could. Doh! My husband is pretty cool but it gets embarrassing and gives him cause to comment a lot! When the delivery guy, who has been delivering so me for several years turned up next...........he had a new hair cut, too much after shave and an expectant smile. He usually comes before 8:30. This time it was eleven. </p> <p>I have got quite a few laughs with story from girlfriends since.</p> <p>Now he is back to coming early so I think I am stuck with the approbation.<br /> Hmmmmm middle aged and naive? I didn't think so but there you go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970905 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:00:35 +0000 Lyn D. 970905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to sign for a box in my dressing-gown a few days ago- (school holiday sleep-in).<br />Worst thing was that the delivery was a new camera for DH and NOT an eagerly awaited dress from the UK </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embarrassing-encounter-with-delivery-person#post-970893 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:30:51 +0000 Anonymous 970893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I actually had to agree to no more boxes.

I hate it when someone else in the house gets the package too. I also keep my bags to myself because his eyes would rolll out of his head and through the door if knew all the buys/returns I made.</p>
