ie things you'd think the gammons scaring themselves shitless about the concept would care about

When I order something online (as long as it isn't something huge like a grand piano), it gets delivered to a nearby corner shop or supermarket, either to be held by staff or placed into an automated locker that opens via code you get sent via text message

Very convenient and I don't need to worry about being home when the mailman's at my door and there's less need for delivery vans to drive to specific addresses

ya I was always confused about what porch pirating was cause it's not a thing here at all

Usually you can just select a pick up point if you know you're not gonna be at home, or if it gets delivered to your home but nobody is actually home they will just drop it off at a neighbour and if that's not possible either they will just take it back to deliver another time
