For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I had somebody at the door earlier this week - before I could say anything he flashed his ID and a letter with the council logo on and "I'm not here to sell anything... I'm from xxxx working with the council.... energy companies...."
I let him do his spiel then "...your cavity walls" to which I replied insulatate, so is the loft.
He left quite happily after that!

I don’t mind being asked in the street where I just say a polite no thanks,what I do object to is bell rung in the afternoon when wife is having a rest,I have a parcel for so and so and they are out,then bring it back when they are in,if they are expecting a parcel they should make arrangements for collection.
my local council have a free sign that says words to the effect of "We do not buy at the door; no cold calling" which I find has helped....you could also put a sign on the door saying we do not accept parcels that for other people? I am happy to take in deliveries for my neighbours but can see it might be annoying. Teacake, you might try a complaint to the management of your local mall saying that you find being constantly approached annoying and that you will take your custom elsewhere?
