We’ve heard of packages being left in some unusual places by mail carriers, but no delivery person will ever be able to do any worse than this mailman did.
Sam Cooke of Manchester was not at home when a Royal Mail carrier decided that he would try to be helpful and leave a package he was delivering in a safe place.
Spotting an open window he decided to just drop the package inside the house.
So why, when Cooke returned home did he find two notes from the mailman and no package?
This is why…

The first note reads, simply enough, “Put through window.” No problems yet.
The next note is where things really go awry and says, “I’m really sorry. Think your parcel might have fallen in the toilet accidentally.”
And here’s his package, some printer ink he had ordered…
Needless to say the mailman and Royal Mail wanted to make it right…
Hi Sam, I'm so sorry they've popped it through the window. We're following so please DM & we'll do what we can to help out & get this sorted

There's honestly nothing to apologise for, the parcel is absolutely fine, gave me and thousands of others a good laugh that's all 👍🏻

Although it would be excellent if you could put me in touch with the postie? Just to shut up these weird morons who think I've faked it 😂

UPDATE: I have been contacted by a member of the Royal Mail team at my local office, the postie is going to knock on my door and apologise👍🏻

I look forward to meeting him and I will assure him he has nothing to be sorry about, no harm done! Keep up the great work @RoyalMail

Of course, someone just HAD to point out the obvious with regard to the toilet seat and the window being wide open…
Hats off to any burglar who can squeeze through that! 😂 pic.twitter.com/cWngOq4VLg

And of course, others pointed out, it could always have been worse…

That even beats mine from last year "Package under hedge" – he forgot to add "in the pouring rain". My records were ruined! pic.twitter.com/SqHUsnOm3N

At least I suppose we can give this mailman an A for effort to go with his F for execution.
