Well, no. It appears nobody asked her to take the package and bring it in her own house. Or did the neighbors ask you to be on the look out for packages?

I am keep and eye on their house.


No, I think PP's question was whether they asked you or is this your own initiative?

Oh, gotcha. Yes, they asked me to collect anything left on their porch, shovel in the event we get snow, etc.


LOL. Shovel snow? They don’t ask for much, do they?

The neighbors do not reply to emails that quickly. That’s why hiding the package and emailing them where won’t work either. Just leave the package outside your house. If you want, place in a brown or trash bag with the daughters name (or neighbors last name).

Might require a little extra effort, but you could dig a hole just deep enough for the package to fit in, cover it back up, and them sprinkle some leaves, etc. on the top, and then let them know where it's buried or mark it with something.

That's a little rude of your neighbor. I'd email him for his kid's contact info, even knowing he's slow to reply.

I would at least try. I would email them back right away and ask for contact information for the daughter. If they respond, I'd coordinate with her. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it, if I'm home when she comes, if not, well, I tried.

2 - email and change the subject line to URGENT! - RESPONSE NEEDED FOR PACKAGE !!!!!
and ask for the daughters phone # to coordinate





Needs exclamation points if you want to ensure proper attention is paid in full.

Give them your cell and tell them to have her text as you may not be home.

I would leave it hidden in a bush when you leave for work in the morning. Email the people and tell them where it is. And/or tell them to give the daughter your # so she can text to arrange a time.

If they asked you to watch for packages, this is totally on them. If they didn't ask you to watch for packages and you took it on yourself, then definitely go with the bush approach.

Sit it under a neighbor's car. Give the description of the vehicle and license plate to the neighbor. Ask them to leave a note under either windshield wiper when it is picked up.
