Someone who delivers for the supermarkets posted in this very thread - they said they'll adjust the route to accommodate (assuming that means push it to the latest half of the slot)
New neighbours get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday morning... argh!

Feel free to explain to me where I'm being entitled. I'm asking on a computer forum who else would be annoyed by this, and whether or not they would say anything to their neighbour about it. Opinion is split, I'd argue the ones acting entitled are the ones insisting they'd do whatever they want and **** everyone else. Acting entitled would be marching over there straight away and demanding they stop. Which I've not done, nor will I. So go ahead, explain exactly where I'm acting entitled because it seems a very popular word to throw around when clearly people don't know how to use it.You just described yourself

Well if you read my OP and follow-ups that's exactly what I've intended to do. It's all the entitled nutcases on here that are coming out with nonsense like "Oh if my neighbour demanded I change my shopping delivery I'd tell them to **** right off and poo through their letterbox" etc. because clearly they don't know how to deal with people IRL! I've only ever suggested talking to my neighbour in an adult way thank you very much..

Oh.. Erm.. What's the point in this thread then?

Surely the only 'solution' is a passive aggressive feud of escalating proportions until someone starts a wood chipper going at 4am. 
I'd be very surprised if they didn't. They'll just find somewhere else to deliver first where no-one cares. Nobody want's to explain to their boss why they didn't do anything about a noise complaint that results in a needless call from the Environmental Health.
Do Environmental Health take post 7am deliveries seriously? Or would they also lol at male Karen?
Depends what the office is like and what comms are like with that Sainsbury's depot. How many other people have complained. They might like to get involved. Also a pretty easy case for the EH for their stats, so I'd be surprised if they didn't at least make Sainsbury's aware of the complaint even just to open and close a case. 7am is 7am. 6:59am? Or repeated, regular 7am... Easy win.
At which point it'll be someone at Sainsbury's job to make sure their boss doesn't have to get involved.
They'd just change the delivery route before it got that far. Job done.

You may laugh. I've been on the receiving end of visits from them at work over less.

You'd just have to mention to Sainsbury's that you're logging the times and dates of deliveries and if they didn't change, you'd pass them onto EH.
That's not being ridiculous. That's just to how to get things done. Write them a shirty letter. Stick it on twitter.

Councils must look into complaints about noise that could be a ‘statutory nuisance’(covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990).
For the noise to count as a statutory nuisance it must do one of the following:
For the noise to count as a statutory nuisance it must do one of the following:
- unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of a home or other premises
- injure health or be likely to injure health
But they aren't doing anything wrong so there is nothing for EH to enforce.

There's no way someone getting a delivery at 7am would count as a statuary nuisance lol
I used to live in a cul de sac and one of the other residents had a battered range rover with the squeakiest belt I've ever heard. In the middle of the day it's not an issue but he used to work shifts and often was coming and going in the early hours.
When it was hot and windows were open it always used to wake me up.

If that range rover belonged to Sainsbury's it would be part of someone's job to fix it before someone complained to EH.
