Gated drive. Parcel etiquette. What happens when Evri turns up?

HENRY first world problem.

Buying a house (hopefully)… has a long gated drive. Not Downton Abbey long. But also not “shout from the door — leave it there mate” short. Awkwardly long. About 60m, to be precise.

So when I inevitably (most days) order some shit off Amazon that won’t fit in the letterbox, what does the courier actually do?

Do they:
(a) Leave it at the gate
(b) Buzz the intercom, I let them in, they drive/walk up the drive and bring it to the door
(c) Do I have to trudge 60m down my own drive, in my dressing gown, exposing my deeply questionable choice in loungewear to anyone passing on the road?
(d) We meet in the middle and they awkwardly take a picture of me holding the parcel in my slippers as proof of delivery

And what about when I’m out? Say I get a parcel drop box installed on the garage (no room at the gate). Will they actually use it? Or is the gate the furthest our intrepid couriers are willing to venture?

Not going to stop me from buying the place. But worrying about this beats worrying about why my buyers still haven’t sorted their mortgage yet, six weeks into the transaction 🤦
