Woman Accidentally Sends Online Order to Her Old Address. Despite Photo Evidence, the New Homeowner Denies Receiving It
A Mumsnet user shared that she accidentally used the incorrect delivery address for a recent online shopping order
The woman claimed the workout clothes she bought got delivered to her old address, according to a delivery photo
She confronted the new homeowner at the address, who denied receiving the packageA little retail therapy turned into a big headache for one shopper.
Taking to the community forum Mumsnet, one woman explained that she ordered workout clothes from an online store but 'stupidly' set her delivery location to her old address. Once the package was delivered, she went to pick it up and had a confrontation with the new homeowner.
'Yes, I know it's annoying and stupid, so I don't need that lecture,' she admitted of her delivery mishap. 'Once I clocked what had happened, I went over to collect it a couple of days later.'
'The woman who bought the house off me completely denies having received it, despite the courier's photo showing it being accepted at the front door,' she continued. 'I can see two sets of children's feet at the door, and I recognize the doorstep since I lived there for nearly 20 years.'
The woman then detailed how she approached the homeowner.
'I did not shout or accuse, I was very polite, I said I was 'puzzled' and that there must have been some sort of confusion, but she was adamant she hadn't had it,' the shopper said. 'It was a shoebox-sized parcel so not massive to store and not easy to lose either.'
'Do you clever lot have any idea if there's anything I can do?' she asked the forum, before jokingly quipping, 'I half expected her to come to the door wearing my gym gear.'

'I would go through the delivery company or clothing company and say you never received it,' one person suggested. 'We had this happen with a parcel recently and we did get a refund eventually.'
Another reader called the situation 'annoying' and commented, 'It's $27 so I would just kick myself for being careless and write it off.'

Dai-ichi Life to acquire 15% stake in British insurer M&G
Dai-ichi Life Holdings has revealed plans to acquire a 15% stake in UK-based insurer M&G through on-market purchases 'to capture long-term value creation opportunities across an array of strategic initiatives'. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approvals, is part of a long-term strategic partnership between the two companies covering asset management and life insurance. Once the 15% threshold is reached and certain conditions are met, Dai-ichi will have the right to appoint a director to M&G's board. Under the terms, M&G will become Dai-ichi's preferred asset management partner in Europe. The partnership will focus on growth, distribution and product development, with the aim of generating new business flows for both companies. M&G expects the partnership to support its expansion into European private markets and open new business opportunities in Japan and Asia. Dai-ichi will gain access to M&G's investment capabilities across public and private markets to support its own portfolio and client needs, and will collaborate to enhance Dai-ichi's expertise in bulk purchase annuities. Dai-ichi Life HD president and CEO Tetsuya Kikuta said: 'Dai-ichi Life Holdings is delighted to enter into a strategic alliance with M&G, a highly regarded global player in the insurance and asset management industries, to collaborate and develop capabilities together in multiple areas, especially in Europe. 'We see our partnership with M&G acting as a spearhead to develop our presence across Europe and the UK, accelerating our strategy to become a global top-tier insurance group.' The partnership is expected to generate at least $6bn in flows into M&G funds over five years, with Dai-ichi expecting at least $2bn (Y285.83bn) in new flows through investments and distribution of its products. An implementation agreement outlines Dai-ichi Life HD's governance rights and includes restrictions such as a two-year lock-up, a 19.99% shareholding cap and an orderly market arrangement for share disposals. Commenting on the partnership, M&G Group CEO Andrea Rossi stated: 'It brings together two highly complementary international businesses with shared growth ambitions who aim to deliver excellent client service and sustainable shareholder returns.' In April, TAL, a subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, agreed to acquire a 15.1% stake in retirement solutions provider Challenger for Y80bn.

Chelsea draw up three-player shortlist for new left-winger
Chelsea will prioritise the signing of a new left-winger once the club's deal for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is completed. Delap has completed the first part of his medical ahead of joining Chelsea in a £30m deal. The England u-21 international will compete with Nicolas Jackson for a place in the side next season. Once that deal is finalised, Chelsea will turn their attention to a right-footed left-winger. Advertisement The Blues are weighing up the addition of another wide player, amid the uncertainty over Mykhailo Mudryk's future. Mudryk is currently serving a provisional suspension after an adverse finding was found in a doping sample. Regardless of the outcome, the appeal process is set to continue into the new campaign. Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that Chelsea have three transfer targets under consideration. Chelsea to target Garnacho, Williams or Gittens as new left-winger The West Londoners could revisit their interest in Alejandro Garnacho, after enquiries were made in January. Garnacho has been told to find a new club this summer after being informed that he does not feature in Ruben Amorim's plans. Advertisement Chelsea also retain interest in Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. The Spain international has a €58m (£48.9m) release clause in his contract. Real Madrid have been named as suitors of the 22-year-old late, amid doubts over Rodrygo's future at the Bernabeu. Jamie Gittens is the third player on Chelsea's shortlist. The England u-21 international had a breakthrough campaign with Borussia Dortmund in 2024/25. Gittens ranked second in the Bundesliga for successful take-ons and scored 12 goals in all competitions. The 20-year-old previously spent time in the Chelsea academy prior to his move to Germany.
