In a first-of-its-kind, a housing society in New Delhi has issued a letter to its residents about ‘receiving too many parcels in a day’. The letter, shared by X user @upshagunn, has sparked a debate online. The post, with over 4 lakhs views, has divided opinions - while some find it reasonable, some have dismissed it calling absurd and ridiculous.
Subject of the viral letter is ‘Excessive delivery orders from F-block’. It requests everyone, particularly ‘bachelors’ to “limit their orders to 1-2 orders max per day or else, please hire your personal security guard to coordinate with the delivery boys.”
Here’s the full text of the letter
Dear Residents,
Our society watchman **** called for a meeting with the RWA members last night, for a complaint **** who has been with us for the last 7 years, said that his workflow is getting affected due to the large number of parcels coming in during the festive period.
The security team has been very helpful in the past by receiving orders on peoples' behalf, sharing OTPs, and coordinating with delivery personnel of Ajio , Swiggy, etc. but recently this has been causing them a lot of trouble.
It has also been noted that bachelors residing in F block get 10-15 deliveries daily. We request everyone to limit their orders to 1-2 orders max per day or else, please hire your personal security guard to coordinate with the delivery boys.

How X users reacted
The post has mixed reactions from X users. While some find it reasonable, others termed it ‘ridiculous’. Commenting on the post, a user said “They have a point. In India we think that a security guard is the whole sole incharge of everything. Don’t treat him like your baggage collector.” Another added “That is a reasonable request. Who gets 10-15 parcels a day?”.
“This sounds reasonable. Security men deserve to be treated with more dignity. If you have ordered something, be at home or entrust your dear ones to receive it,” a third user commented.
Another user replied “Ridiculous! They are the ones screening entrants into the building and making it compulsory. Will they next say limit ordering from outside during the festive season!? Absurdity Pro Max!”.
