My family is the best, I just received a package with typical Easter cakes (Portuguese and French!), a bottle of Portuguese wine and dried codfish!!!
I didn’t knew but if I wasn’t at home to receive the package it would have been delivered to the closest neighbour that would answer the door, and I would have a postal in my mail box saying that I had to pick it up at that number. It’s pretty efficient. If you’re out you still can have your package as soon as you get home (unless it’s so late you wouldn’t bother your neighbour), without going too far. And that way the post office also works better because they don’t have to come back latter.
We received also the package of a neighbour without signing anything. They really trust people, and it seems to work!
Another example is serving at the terrace in cafes and not charging immediately. Because you can order more drinks… You don’t see that in Portugal, it’s a pity when we can not trust people.
