This and also my neighbours are decent too. Maybe if you applied the teachings of Christ and Loved your neighbour as theyself you wouldn't have problems.

Asif in E1 is a star.
What exactly is your problem? All delivery companies will try and leave with a neighbour unless instructed not to do so - it's par for the course.
Secondly, these guys are on the clock. They don't have time to stand around chatting. Often they don't have the time to knock on several doors to find someone to take your parcel or hang around for a few minutes waiting for a door to be answered. It all adds up and can put them behind.
My DPD guy is ace and I wish he delivered all my mail.

Old address they had their off days, new address the driver is a nice chap and gives plenty of time to run down three flights of stairs.

OP if you're have trouble with the current driver have checked online with the vendor to see if they have a newer one, are you definitely using the right one for your OS?
By strange coincidence, a DPD driver knocked my door this afternoon to ask if he could leave a neighbour's parcel with me.
He asked me to sign for it, asked for my surname, and made sure of my house number, before putting a card through my neighbour's letterbox.

Most of the posties will not do that as they don't enough enough time to deliver as it is.
Going to one address and then another who may not be in and then going back to the original to leave a card will be out of the question.

If I'm not in my Royal Mail guy will take my parcels to my dads house which is a few streets away.
That's why he gets a card and bottle of wine at xmas

I would be echoing the compliments for DPD were it not for my experience today.
To cut a long story short, DO NOT TRUST THE TRACKING, make sure you are there for the delivery hour, the tracking can lie.
All previous occasions of DPD delivering the tracking was spot on and I've managed to be home 5 minutes prior to John (the normal driver) arriving. Today, unfortunately, he managed to deliver 4 packages in 3 minutes and I missed him by 2 minutes. Poop happens, it's now being delivered tomorrow and I won't be trusting the tracking app, but waiting by the door for the full duration of the hour lol.
Just some cautionary advice, the tracking is fantastic, and in my experience has been spot on 9/10 times. To avoid disappointment on that 1/10 times, be home and alert for the hour window

He knows where your wife works? Is she making more of an effort lately?
You want to be worried
The anger in the OP is quite sad. You got your parcel, he was doing his job. Get a grip man. My DPD driver will try a second time if i'm not in and then leave it with my neighbour. I barely know my neighbour but I'll take parcels for them and likewise.
