Unprofessional?

We don't disallow personal stuff to be delivered to our workplace, as long as it's not something bulky ofcourse. Unless it's my stuff, then it's okay :)

One time, I order a lot of stuff from OCUK, and a member of staff (even with my name on it) opened it, and even ticked everything off that was on the invoice note.
 
A friend of mine's always having trouble getting stuff he orders online, always out of the house when they're delivered and then having to drive to his local RM depot which is open awkward hours, so I asked him "Why don't you get them delivered at work?" He said "That'd be unprofessional" I asked him why but he sort of dodged the question, so now I'm left wondering: we're not talking fridges or 40" TVs here, just the occasional book or dvd, so why would any of his colleagues mind or consider it unprofessional? Would you frown upon someone receiving personal mail in your office?

I ALWAYS get my personal stuff delivered to the office... and did at my last workplace too. It's not unprofessional at all imo a slong as it's not strewn all over your desk!

If no-ones going to be home during the day why get it delivered to your home?

I don't think this is unprofessional, actually the opposite. If you take the morning off to recieve a laptop or something, you may aswell send it to work?
