Unfortunately you cannot blame royal mail as such for a postman leaving a parcel on the doorstep (I know they're not supposed to, they are told not to) that is the actions of a lazy postman. On the plus side there are brilliant postmen, one of which is my DH, with permission from certain customers he will put parcels in garages or whereever else they may suggest to save them having to trek down to the sorting office (only if they don't need signing for). You have to admit a lot of delivery companies do the same thing. We had a laptop computer left with neighbours (who we hardly know)last week without a note being put through the door just a follow up phone call. We had no proof he had tried to deliver it. Hope your aunt got her gift.
