Yes, you can leave the  package with any adult at the home. If there is no adult and an older child (10+) is home and they appear responsible, you may leave the  package with the child. Use your own judgment. If you are not comfortable leaving the package with anyone in the home, return it to the depot by 7pm indicating on the tag why it is being returned.

On occasion a family’s situation changes and they may refuse the delivery of the package. If this is the case, please write REFUSED on the back of the tag and return the package to the depot by 7pm.

Sure, you can try again later on the same day if time permits. If the bag is still undeliverable, return the package to the depot by 7pm indicating on the tag why it is being returned. 

  • Don't Forget - Leave the bag or the tag. Leave the “Not Home Form” (tag) for the family, which provides them with instructions on how to receive their gifts. Bring the (bag) package back to the depot by 7pm indicating on the tag why it is being returned.

Delivery Days goes ahead sleet, snow or shine! The snowier or colder it is the more important it is for drivers to come out and make sure we get the toys delivered.
