‘Hire your personal security guard’: Housing society’s notice on excessive online order deliveries gains support on X
A housing society's notice discouraging excessive orders deliveries has surprisingly garnered support on X. The memo, aimed at bachelors, has sparked discussions about the responsibilities of security guards and the need for community consideration.
A housing society notice on "excessive delivery orders”
A housing society recently issued a notice addressing the issue of “excessive delivery orders,” and quite unexpectedly, gained support from X users. Usually, such announcements face backlash, but this particular memo, aimed at bachelors and asking them to refrain from having security guards accept deliveries of products they have ordered online, has been met with approval.
The post was shared by an X user Shagun (@upshagunn) with the caption, “Society presidents are insane. My cousin’s building got a warning for receiving too many parcels in a day.” According to the notice, the security guard, who has been employed for seven years, notified the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) that his daily responsibilities were being disrupted due to the overwhelming volume of parcels he was required to handle each day.
The notice read, “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 guards to coordinate with the delivery boys.”

The post has garnered more than 4.8 lakh views and nearly 5,100 likes, sparking a range of comments from users. An X user commented, “They have a point. In India, we think that a security guard is the sole in charge of everything. Don’t treat him like your baggage collector.” Another user wrote, “That is a reasonable request. Who gets 10-15 parcels a day?”
“There is nothing wrong in that request. How much effort does it take to be more thoughtful in a community living set-up? What if they ask them to come to the gate to collect their orders rather than allow the delivery person in?” a third user wrote in the comments section.
