A Royal Mail postman has become an internet sensation after demonstrating extraordinary determination to deliver a parcel to a customer who wasn't home, employing a method that has left social media users in stitches.
The Unconventional Delivery Method
When the postman arrived at the property on November 14, 2025, and found no one home, he refused to take the standard approach of leaving a 'while you were out' card. Instead, he spotted an open bedroom window at the front of the house and saw an opportunity to ensure the parcel reached its destination securely.
The situation took an unexpected turn when a window cleaner happened to be working nearby at precisely that moment. The two men were captured on the homeowner's security camera having a quick discussion, apparently devising a clever plan to complete the delivery without the postman having to return the item to the depot.
The Hilarious Execution Caught on Camera
Homeowner Stacey Currian discovered what had transpired when she returned home to find a Royal Mail card that stated, rather unusually, "Through the bedroom window." She checked her home security footage and was amazed by what she saw.
The video shows the window cleaner fetching his ladders, propping them against the house, and climbing up to the open window to deposit the parcel inside. Meanwhile, the Royal Mail postman was seen taking a photograph of the window cleaner in action, with both men clearly amused by their inventive solution.
Ms. Currian shared the footage on TikTok, writing: "Actually can not cope, come home to find this postcard and thought you have got to be having me on, thinking the postman has thrown it through the window! Hats off to my window cleaner and postman."
Social Media Reaction and Official Response
The video quickly went viral, with one viewer commenting: "I just know these two were dead chuffed with themselves," while another noted: "Mr Postman was determined not to put that parcel back in his van."
Even the Post Office's official TikTok account joined the conversation, simply commenting: "He was READY." Many viewers pleaded to see the proof of delivery photo that the postman took, anticipating it would be particularly amusing.
A spokesperson for Royal Mail later stated: "Our posties always aim to make sure customers receive their deliveries, and we're proud of the effort they put in every day. This was certainly a unique method, but we're pleased the customer received their item."
The incident demonstrates the lengths to which Royal Mail staff will go to ensure successful deliveries, even if it means recruiting unexpected helpers and employing highly unconventional methods that capture the public's imagination.
