    Not just Amazon. I had a parcel being delivered by DPD while I was on holidays. I checked the delivery’s webpage, which said “if you’re not in, we’ll leave it with your neighbour”. Great!

    While I was on holiday, I checked the status on the day of delivery: “you weren’t in, we returned it to DPD depot”. Somewhat annoying, but the depot is only 15 minute drive from mine, I can go collect it then I’m back home.

    Checked it again when I got back home: “returned to sender”.

    The fun thing was that the item was the modem from my new internet provider, and my old provider was ceasing their services that very day.

      How long did it stay at the depot until it said returned?

      It’s very normal for packages to get returned if no one picks them up in a specified time period.
