It pays to help out delivery drivers, while I wouldn't condone throwing stuff over fences it must be a nightmare for them to be asked to deliver stuff to an address and then not be able to access a safe spot at the premises to leave stuff. When you are expecting parcels and are in the premises I don't think it unreasonable to unlock a gate so they can get in. They need their van free of parcels for pickups, it is a waste of their time manhandling parcels multiple times.
I've had at least half a dozen packages from myhermes this week, I had emails for each of them prior to arrival for me to track and giving options to divert if required. Emails within a few minutes of delivery showing exactly which part of the house it was delivered to and a photo showing the parcels on my property. I must say although we pay a bit extra for myhermes to deliver here (£2 per parcel) the service from their local partner courier agency is first class.
