Royal Mail have made changes to their deliveries as follows-. 

"If there is no recipient in to accept your parcel(s), we may choose to deliver them to a Safeplace location at the address, if our postman or postwoman deems that location to be suitable (previously we only leave parcels in a Safeplace if the recipient has asked us to directly). In that case, we will also leave a “Something For You” card explaining where the parcel(s) has been left. If we are unable to find a suitable Safeplace and cannot deliver to a neighbour, we will return your parcel(s) to our local Royal Mail Customer Service Point and leave a “Something For You” card at the address." from Royal Mail's service delivery update.
