According to the family, they searched their entire property - only the day after they found a Hermes package in an unexpected place.
Göppingen - If a package delivery goes smoothly, or at least the matter of the storage location, then you rarely hear about it on social media.
The situation is different, however, when something goes really wrong.
Or the messenger shows himself to be particularly creative when depositing a shipment.
Or just choose the bin.
Several years ago, a Hermes messenger who threw a package up in the air caused a stir.
Hermes package "lands" on the canopy - recipient reacts with incomprehension
A deliverer in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg didn't need quite as much momentum.
But he also chose an unusual storage location - which did not go down too well with the recipient family: the canopy!
Winfried K. reports on this on Facebook, and in view of the three photos there is no reason to doubt his portrayal.
"Hermes is a great service provider," he writes ironically and then asks: "Who would think of throwing a package on the canopy?"
Other users react in the comments: "And at least it was delivered," jokes one.
"And then it rained" and "After all, it was protected from theft," write others.
But it's not just thieves who find it difficult - the family itself also had a hard time getting the package, as Winfried K. reports to our editors.
The package was intended for his daughter.
"There would have been problems," he himself is two meters tall, "and was able to fish the package off the canopy with a stick."
Hardly accessible for a person of normal height without aids: the Hermes package on the canopy.
Hermes: Family searches property and finds package soaked the next day
A major search had preceded it.
"We searched the whole property the night before because the package had been announced as having been delivered.
We couldn't find it because it was already dark.” After all, who expects a shipment to be lying on the canopy?

The Hermes package literally “slept over the night” there until the family found it.
And was "completely soaked".
"During the night there was a heavy thunderstorm with a lot of heavy rain, the package was completely soaked.
However, the contents (clothing) were again packed in a plastic bag and thus protected.”
Hermes: Customer understands stressed messengers
But the Hermes customer isn't angry at the courier, who had the really bad idea of throwing the package on the canopy, which was difficult to reach and even more difficult to spot.
"At Hermes, one can feel sorry for the parcel carriers," he explains and believes: "It's often subcontractors of subcontractors who, as 'independent' entrepreneurs, can hardly live on the earnings.
But why someone throws a package onto a canopy remains unexplained.
