I am not pitching this as an idea, but, would you rather have discreet packaging OR indiscrete packaging?
I sometimes takes parcels off the delivery people and think how funny it would be if they knew what it was they were delivering.
Maybe the discreet packaging is to save the deliverers blushes more than the recipiants lol
I still think they know, even if it is discreet. They probably recognise the "Lovehoney box". I once sent a toy back to LH in the box it came in with the return address. The cashier always asks what's inside my parcels because I sell stuff online regularly....but she didn't ask on that occasion. Hmmm... I don't care if they know, anyway. Haha.
My postman “knows”...... Whether it’s my eager smiling face, or my hasty snatching/grabbing/door slamming that gives me away, I’m unsure?? But he KNOWS!!!!
My dad recognises them, far worse than the postman!
I'm sure my postie lady has an inclin! She always gives a sweet cheeky smile and a little giggle, when I open the door.
I just remain polite, after all realistically, my package could be anything!
For example, people can even get their doctor's prescription delivered now. So I don't worry too much about it, it's private and discreet enough a service from the wonderful Lovehoney. x
It's my business at the end of the day. 😉
A plain brown unmarked box with nothing more than delivery details and return address, what could be suspicious about that?
The first time I got a delivery, the courier gave me a bit of a smile as he handed it to me (although he regularly delivers stuff to work anyway) but maybe I was reading more into it than there actually was given I knew what was in the package.
I once had a colleague laughingly say "is that your butt plug" or some words to that ilk, when I said yes, and some lube and whips he laughed as if I was going along with the joke, but I was being 100% truthful, that made it even funnier.
I had to return something last week and the lady at the post office typed in the address and then had a huge grin on her face. I was waiting for her to ask "whats in it for security reasons" Im sure the delivery men know the packaging by now. 🙈
I prefer it being discreet, the postie might well know but at least the neighbours don't.

+1 to this, lol. 😊
Discreet for me. Couldn’t look my postie in the eyes again if he seen some of the stuff we bought lol
Would definitely have to say discreet, although I'm pretty sure my postie knows exactly where those parcels are coming from haha
Much prefer discreet packaging. Could you imagine the post man stood there with a huge dildo in his/her hand? Or even better, a massive sex doll?? Haha
The sorting office commented to my daughter’s boyfriend a while ago about the regular size boxes and what might be inside. I had one a while ago where the post lady was given a good clue of what it was, it wasn’t unusual for her to smile but when i had taken the parcel inside on the same side as the address label was the item label, (BB Deluxe Swing). Happy days 😀

Oh no, did you report this to customer care?
So sorry this type of incident is taken extremely seriously and will be fed back to our warehouse management team!

Same here!
The post man knows, 100%. - My postman is brilliant and we've had a bit of banter about it before without the actual contents of the parcels being brought up
The only time it was a bit awkward is when I ordered a particularly large dildo... He seemed a bit stunned.
It’s not the discrete packaging you need to worry about. It’s the dozy postman delivering the discrete parcel to your neighbour. Even that in itself wouldn’t be too bad, unless of course the neighbour actually thought it was their parcel and opened it. Oh yes, it happened to me! Bloody embarrassing to say the least.
Oh my god. I would be mortified! - How did that work out?10spdee wrote:

I try not to think about it to be honest. It was all very polite as if nothing untoward had happened. Ever so sorry, but I think this might be your parcel etc etc. Me: That’s alright, don’t worry etc etc. What else can you say? I just had an uneasy feeling when the postie hadn’t called at his usual time of 2.00- 2.30, then when the neighbour knocked at the back door instead of coming to the front door as she would any other time, I don’t know how but I just knew what was coming. I was sick to my stomach when I recognised the familiar packaging and that it was obviously open. It took a good while before I had the courage to place another order, and now I am on hot bricks until I have received the parcel into my hand. I need a drink!
Yeah I'm sure my postman knows too lol
