Happened to me yet again, was smoking a fag when a guy came to deliver a laptop. All he asked was the surname then handed it over and I signed. I know the surnames of everyone 4 houses each side from me as well as the surnames of the 6 or so houses opposite so I wouldn't say that's a decent method!

the guy on the phone logged into the tracking system and found the EXACT address his driver had delivered the item to. a few minutes later and I was happily the owner of a shiny new parcel which the guy who took it in, instead of bringing it up to me he said he was just having tea then was going to come up - yeah ok dick head

That system is very much live on our deliveries too (Yodel). We call it geocoding and we get a report through for every parcel that is scanned more than about half a mile away from where the postcode thinks it should be. Broken geocodes can be a reason for dismissal if the driver does it too many times or doesn't have a good explanation.
