A delivery can arrive at home or at a shared reception desk.
The idea
Ask Is this package for me? to identify the recipient. Say Please leave it by the door to give a polite instruction.
Examples
- This parcel is for my neighbour.
- Is there a package for Lee?
- Please leave it by the door.
- Could you ring the bell, please?
- I can sign for the delivery.
- The box is damaged.
