5. As per Royal Mail's Terms and Conditions , if you’re not at home*, where possible, Royal Mail will deliver your item to your neighbour, instead of taking it back to the local Royal Mail Customer Service Point (CSP).
Royal Mail classes a neighbour as someone who lives near to the address on the item - They may be a next-door neighbour or someone else who lives nearby.
Royal Mail post people use their own judgement about which neighbour to approach or whether to approach a neighbour at all. They’ll use their familiarity with their walk, previous experience, and signs of occupation such as a car in the drive, or an open window.

Depending on their investigation, you might receive a form from Royal Mail that would need to be completed and returned to them within the specified deadline on the form. Please ensure the form is completed and returned to Royal Mail, as they would not be able to proceed further unless they receive the completed form.
