I've worked from my detached converted garage for 3 years. I purposefully don't have any signs so most of the time you'd never know I was in there, but over the last 6 months I've had terrible trouble with delivery men. One occasion a delivery guy almost banged the door down, whilst shouting "hello, I know you're in there!!" (apparently he could hear the music) and frightened the life out of me and my half naked massage client. I decided to put up a sign at the house to say that people must not knock on the garage door and that all deliveries must go to the house only. However this has prompted more activity than ever! I even had an argument with one delivery guy because he said that the garage is part of the house so if they know I'm in there they have a right to knock
I've since had my post man do the same thing! He has known I've worked in there for years and usually leaves parcel round the back of the house, so I was really shocked when the door handle was going up and down and the door was shaking like someone was trying to break in! Luckily I lock the door on the inside. I went out and told him I was massaging and he was disturbing me, but he didn't seem remotely bothered.
Anyone had the same issues or know a way round it???
I've already stopped ordering things online - although this isn't very practical long term and sometimes my husband forgets or family / friends send us things etc. I've looked at parcel boxes but the only place I could store this would be at the back of the house - where they used to leave parcels anyway!!
