Fast Food Deliveries🌮🍕🍔🍟🥪

Fiona from Henderson

Good afternoon one and all,
I have a quick question for you all, especially those who are proficient with food deliveries.
When you order food on line or by phone and decide to get it delivered, is the delivery person supposed to put the food in your hands or by the front door?
Now this question includes Uber eats as well.
I would be interested as I don't use this service but I have have had a Subway dropped at my front door, on the concrete, not in a bag or anything, just wrapped in paper and I'm up a long driveway. If I hadn't seen someone walking up there, I would never have known.
To make matters worse it was for the next door neighbour - both of our letterboxes are clearly numbered.
She dropped the food on the ground by the front door then started to bolt down the driveway. I opened my front door and she asked over her shoulder as she was rushing off, "For **?"
I said, "NO. They live next door"
She didn't even apologise or say thanks for stopping her - nothing.
So, now I'm curious as to what the correct procedure for food delivery is please.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
