Why are we still talking about this? Go and get your package...
absolutely!
This fiasco has been going on for a fortnight. Stop pussy-footing around and bloody well go and get your rightful property!

As a fellow Berliner, I found Chipbag's 'Urberliner' comment a witty, affectionate and charming description of some of our fellow residents. From direct experience, I didn't consider the description to be malicious rather a simple statement of fact. If you look in the windows of the basement flats around here you can quite often barely see the constantly flickering TV for the thick fog of smoke that shrouds their living rooms. And on the rare occasions the front windows are opened onto the street, then you can smell the property often before you can see it
Ive seen people hanging out of windows (or rather leaning out of windows to be more precise) smoking a cigarette, with an ashtry placed on the *outside* windowsill! The sort of people who lean out of their windows with their elbows resting on a cushion... guess it`s "Coronation Street" german style.
Around the edge of the door on one of the flats in my block are little 'flames' a couple of cms long of nicotine on the off-white paint, it must be from the draft sucking the smoke into the treppenhaus through the crack between the door and the frame..it looks like minature versions of those airbrushed 'flames' on cars or motororcycle tanks.
Well, this evening I FINALLY got Herr N. to open the door, and he had the nerve to ask why I didn't come get the package sooner! I must have rang/knocked on his door 20 times and I got no response at all to the note I left in his mailbox. I am typically out of the house 11 hours per day (at my "sexy, well-paid job"...riiiight) so it's not like I could camp in front of his door waiting for him.
It's Packstation all the way from now on...just wish they would open one closer to me

Is there one closer to your office?
When you sign-up for packstation, you are asked for a "Home" station but you can have packages
routed to ANY Packstation in Germany..
The sign-up process and Station GUIs are even in English, so watcha waitning for?

The RBB Abendschau reported this evening that more Packstations are being opened up across Berlin. So watch this space ... your problem may be lessened if not completely solved
Sadly this will lead to a greater disintigration of our social fabric as isolated individuals who rely on social interation with the DHL man whilst signing for parcels on behalf of their neighbours with sexy well paid jobs will become further more marginalised in society.
Is it possible that the guy is hard of hearing? When my father-in-law is watching TV, he takes off his hearing aid and instead has a headphone connected to the TV so he can have any volume he likes while my mother-in-law can set the volume to a more normal, lower value. If he's alone in the house, then he definitely won't hear anyone knocking on the door while snoozing on the easy chair with the headphones on.

Ask your employer if its okay to receive your parcels at work.
Story over, package gotten... Time to close the thread...
...may he live happily ever after.
My german husband says call the cops, the longer you wait the less chance you have of getting the package back.

Why don`t you get your packages delivered to your office? Much easier, no pickup, no dependency on neighbors etc.
That´s what I do normally...
