A woman was left stunned after a delivery driver opened her front door and dropped off her parcel inside.
The online shopper couldn't believe the actions of the "cheeky" messenger, who even greeted the woman as he let himself into the house uninvited, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Posting on a neighbourhood app, the Southport resident wrote: "What gives a delivery driver the right to ring the doorbell, open your front door and shout hello, and walk into your home and put a parcel on your sideboard."
She added: "[It's] cheeky if you ask me but that’s what happened yesterday. I wouldn’t even dream of trying somebody’s front door let alone walk in if I wasn’t invited."
The post prompted an array of different responses, with one woman remembering the days when delivery drivers would often let themselves in.
She said: "I can remember a time when back doors were usually unlocked, or the key was under the mat, and those delivering the meat and the (separate ones) delivering the fish, would come in, put them in the fridge (if there was one) and take the correct money out of the purse on the kitchen table, left there deliberately, and go!
"That was not called 'cheeky' but 'trust'."
One man saw it as a positive. He wrote: "A lot do try the doors but on the positive side they want to leave it somewhere safe.
"A bit cheeky but better than having it nicked I suppose."
Others also agreed that it was a positive thing to do, although one woman shared the customer's outrage.
She commented: "Absolutely not. That’s trespass."
