Right? Ffs, people, the whole point of writing is to convey information. If your penmanship is illegible and/or spelling atrocious…you are failing to effectively communicate.
And they make lower case "a" the same as upper case "B" just smaller. It can be either the separation or the tail! Why learn many letter when few do trick?
The wrinkled paper and squiggly lines suggest this was written without a solid backing surface. I've had letters come out like this when writing in the free air like that. The driver may not have had any sort of pad on hand, and they might have been hesitant to use the customer's property to write on.
I don't know about this carrier specifically, but I happen to drive for Amazon, and lots of customers have really unrealistic expectations of how free our hands are. Pretty much the absolute minimum is that both hands are grabbing something, because we always have a device in one hand and a package, however small, in the other. If we're carrying a bunch of boxes, we may put the phone in a pocket, but that also slows us down because all the delivery steps are managed through the app. We also have group stops, so our hands aren't necessarily free the moment we drop boxes off at your house. We're technically not supposed to put packages on the ground either until their final delivery spot to avoid getting packages dirty. So it's always an adventure when I'm carrying 6 boxes to 4 different houses grouped together, and the very 1st one wants me to reach over a tall gate, pull a hidden string, then drop the box in a special crate that requires 2 hands to open. I'm sure those seem like really simple requests to the customers with those setups, but there's a lot more going on behind the scenes.
Basically, I wouldn't presume to know what this driver was dealing with just by this picture. It's not really fair to assume they were just being lazy and didn't deliver a single small envelope or whatever.
I don’t have a good safe spot, so I haven’t designated one. If I’m not in leaving it is not a great idea. Once I’ve placed an order I’ve got no control on the day it might be delivered. So even if I know I won’t be in, I’ve got no way to signal that this is going to turn into a pain in the ass.
I wish I could tell the delivery company whether I’ll be in on the intended delivery day.
This is why you're typically taught the "correct" order to write in. You're free to take some liberties but like... some. Not all of the liberties. We live in a society!
Nah, the letter "E" in behind is the same as what's at the end of the next word, so pretty sure it's gate. But the "parcel is tripping me up, b/c whatever that word is, I'm pretty sure it ends in "h".
Dude, I read the first word of that as “draw” and just assumed this was on the nursing sub. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this handwriting in a progress note and I’m not even kidding.
It was drowned on the porch. So sad.
But on the upside, Demid went to a dock sale with Ding. Lucky guy! Ding Junhui is one of my favourite snooker players!
The B’s are consistent, you can tell by the word “Parcel” that his E’s are weird, but that means you can decipher the 5th word as _ATE. I’m pretty sure it says, “Brown Parcel Behind Back Gate By Bins”
Honestly? Who knows!! Same happened to me today, "left in safe space: out building" i dont have an outbuilding. Eventually my dog found it for me shoved under an old planter that was stood on a couple of house bricks... so my suggestion is just go on a hunt in the vague area of your front door...
AROUNd PARCH [porch] BehIND BACK GAIT (gate) BY BINS
I would not have gotten “behind” without someone else’s comment. The mix of caps and lower case make it rough.
I hate it when I leave a big sign that says "DELIVERIES HERE PLEASE ⏬️" right above a big ass empty box. They, shove them in the mailbox, even if they are too big. Pitch them over the fence where the dogs can get them. Walk past the box and open the gate and leave them on the ground. Walk in, wander the fuck everywhere, and leave it somewhere random, garage, defunct car, doghouse, like a fucking Easter egg hunt.
this persons B's are the worst B's ever written. "Brown patch, Behind Back SAIF BY BINT". I dont know what "saif by bint" is, but yah, all those strange characters are Bs
edit: after reading the other comments its "gate by bins", who knew?
Your delivery-person’s penmanship has the energy of someone mid–espresso, but we can tease out most of it.
Here’s what the note most likely says:
“your safe place:
BROWN
PARCH / PACK”
(I read this as Brown porch or Brown pack, but “porch” makes the most sense in context.)
Below, where it could be “your neighbour at,” the handwriting instead looks like:
“BEHIND
SIDE BY BIN(S)”
So the full meaning is probably:
Safe place: Brown porch
or
Behind side by bins
A working interpretation:
They left your parcel either on or by a brown porch, or behind the side of the house near the bins.
Given the checkmark is on “your safe place,” the second line is likely clarifying where that place is.
Brown parcel behind rock salt by bin, I think. Do you have a bag of rock salt? If not 100% sure it’s brown parcel behind (something)
Found it just now. Though the back gate behind the green bin. Still can’t decode this cryptic message.
Now that you’ve said this I can read ‘behind back gate by bins’ but almost all the letters are in disguise, especially the bs.
"the letters are in disguise" sent me lmao
Right? Ffs, people, the whole point of writing is to convey information. If your penmanship is illegible and/or spelling atrocious…you are failing to effectively communicate.
The real question is who taught them that it is acceptable to write a B as a D but run the bottom line through the middle to make the separation?!
For real. I know my letters aren’t absolute textbook correct, but they are still very clear as to what letter is being written.
And they make lower case "a" the same as upper case "B" just smaller. It can be either the separation or the tail! Why learn many letter when few do trick?

depending on where you are the delivery guy might have had really cold hands.
This is why you're typically taught the "correct" order to write in. You're free to take some liberties but like... some. Not all of the liberties. We live in a society!
Ohhhh, "Salt" means "Gate". Cryptography is fun!
It didn't until I read this response and now I too cannot stop thinking about letters being in disguise
Yes, there’s a back gate and bins. I think you’re closest to what this was intended to say
Brown “parcle” behind back “gait” by bins
Nah, the letter "E" in behind is the same as what's at the end of the next word, so pretty sure it's gate. But the "parcel is tripping me up, b/c whatever that word is, I'm pretty sure it ends in "h".
If you look at the E at the end of gate then take that and swoop it down add an L you get that "H" at the end of parcel.
That's not an H that's an E-L mashed together in their enigma code handwriting.
I think they are correct. I was thrown by the upper two words, but I think it's "brown packet".
Love your username, btw. I use piffle semi-regularly.

Definitely that
Nice!
Lowercase g, uppercase A facepalm
The Bs look like Ds who want to be As.
Now OP will know the 'da postie code' for the next missed delivery.
Nah they’ll send a new one next time.
Wrote the bs like Ds with a line through the middle?

"Brown parcel behind back stairs by bins" based on where you found it.
No stairs
The stairs part was to throw off any thieves
Brown parcel behind back gate by bins? Just read further and saw someone else came to the same conclusion
This is also what I get, but only after I learned there were no stairs.

They switched between upper and lower case pretty recklessly, hence the lack of clarity
Yes. This recklessness combined with the cunning disguises of the letters...I was an infant school teacher but this was something else!
The last bit does look like 'by bins ' no clue what the rest of it says
Apparently driver is brown/green colorblind.
What can green do for you?
It says "around back" two times.
“Brown parcel behind back. Safe by bins”
You mean the D8mwd Salv Dy Ding?
You wrote that shit, didn’t you?
Maybe "by drmt", like delivery-person shorthand for "doormat"?
No doormat!
I'm sorry, I meant "donut". By the big donut, and don't act like you don't have one of those too, it's almost 2026.
Oh yes! Of course I have a big donut. Everyone has a garden donut.

Oh yeah, right there by the donut 🤦

Pharmacist?
Either a Pharmacist, or someone doing their residency...
Are you a teacher or pharmacist? This is so close to what is turned out to be (it was behind a back “gate”). Impressive deciphering skills!
I'm a teacher, but this one had me stumped.
Ha - I’m a doctor, so guilty of perpetrating this myself!
I disagree. All his “B”s are written the same. So the last word is more likely “bins” than “gate”
I see around back but otherwise agree
Found the delivery driver
Brown porch
Hmmm, maybe. If I had a brown porch?
Ok, do you have a bruwn paxch? I'd check there
Looks more like Drunk Patch... Which might be where you'll find the driver. 😆
I went thru one of those last weekend, allegedly.
That’s what I was thinking 😂 what kind of handwriting is this? This individual definitely must be intoxicated!
After that, check the Aruwl Paxch. Don’t worry, everyone forgets the Aruwl a

Yeah. That was a good description of the location.
It is, They updated further down saying they found it behind their green bin.

I've heard of rush delivery, but not Russian delivery
Yeah, we try to keep it on the DL. They use Slav labor to meet the demand.

Try the ARUWJ PAXCH. It might be in Russia.
Weird to see doctors moonlighting as postal workers.

Brown porch at the dock. Op knows where that is for sure
I’m miles inland and nowhere near a lake or dam!
If you build it, they will come.
And they will come until it bursts

You know the economy is fucked when you have doctors delivering out packages.
So thats why its so hard to get an appointment with my GP, he is moonlighting as a delivery driver
We are truly living in desperate times when a doctor has to take a side job delivering packages.

It's a sad state of affairs when doctors have to go delivering parcels just to make ends meet.

You can determine where the package is by subtracting the volume of where it was, from where it isn't...it still is. This difference is the deviation.
