I have a friend who is 95 years old and since she can't get around that well, I do her weekly grocery shopping, taxes, etc...She lives in a building that has a concierge desk and for the past 2 years or so, I have been having my packages delivered there. I work a 9 to 5 job and live in a house and nobody is here to sign for packages. This building just got a new manager and now he is saying that my packages can no longer be delivered there since I am not a resident. I order mostly books from amazon, so I don't get any big overwhelming packages. My question is since I'm a friend of the resident and the resident has given me permission to have my packages delivered there, can this new manager be allowed to bar my packages from being delivered there? He said that he will "Return to Sender" my packages.

Well I was thinking of having her name on it, but they would still know that she is 95 years old and not ordering anything from amazon. LOL..So if I have it mailed out in her name, they won't have any choice but to keep accepting it right??

Yes, he can do that. You are taking the time of his employee - and you don't pay rent there.
What you could do is have them shipped to your friend, listing her as the person to deliver to. Of course, only do this 1. if its okay with her and 2. if you trust her not to say (or think) they belong to her when they arrive.

Is there a REASON why you can't have packages delivered to your work or your own residence?
The only reason that I can think of why you wouldn't want your packages delivered to your work or home is if you were committing credit card fraud and needed to use another address....that is a very, very common scam.
The property manager is 190% correct...they are not the postal service...and neither is the 95 year-old lady.

The manager is the boss so yes, he can do that. I don't blame that manager for telling you not to have your packages delivered. As the manager of 110 apartments, I have a full plate and then some. We don't want to handle non-residents packages.
