Set up a parcel handover routine for a household helper
Parcel handling can interrupt an entire household routine if every delivery creates uncertainty. When hiring a helper who will answer the door, define what they may receive, where parcels belong and when the employer must take over. Receiving a parcel should not imply permission to open it.

Identify deliveries the helper may accept
Explain the difference between a prepaid parcel, a payment request, a collection and an unexpected visitor. Give the helper a practical way to reach the household contact. If the recipient or address is unclear, the helper should pause and check. Do not require them to resolve a disputed delivery or pay from their own money.
Create a visible receiving point
Choose a dry, agreed place that does not obstruct the entrance. Separate outgoing parcels from incoming ones so the wrong box is not collected. Decide whether a simple recipient-and-time note is enough. Photographs should be limited to what the household actually needs, avoiding unnecessary sharing of labels and personal details.
Protect the rest of the work schedule
Ask candidates how they would handle a delivery during a task that cannot be abandoned immediately. The answer should include contacting the responsible person or arranging a short wait. Explain which rooms remain private and whether deliveries are accepted when nobody from the household is present. The helper should not invent access rules.
Agree how exceptions are reported
Discuss damaged packaging, missing payment information and a courier arriving outside agreed hours. Keep an exception message short: who arrived, what they requested and what decision is needed. Review recurring problems with the household rather than treating every unusual parcel as a performance failure.
A practical example to adapt
Hypothetical example: the helper receives two prepaid boxes, places them on the entrance shelf and records their recipients. A third courier requests payment that was not approved. The helper calls the employer, who decides whether to accept it. No package is opened during this process.
