secondno one is home at number 43. Rocco D’Angelo knows this before he rings the bell. “It’s always like this here,” he says and still rings the bell. Then he places the package he is supposed to deliver on the doormat and takes a few steps back according to the wreath. But nothing moves in the little house on the edge of the field in Roßdorf, in the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg. The door remains closed even on the second ring. D’Angelo, who most people call by name, grabs the box and carries it to his truck. “I used to give the things in this house to the neighbors,” he says as he puts the package back. “But people ask for a lot and often it’s not there. At some point the neighbors did not want to accept anything. “
Rocco gets it, even if it means more effort for him. “Then I try to deliver the package a second time, then I take it to a branch, where the recipient has to pick it up.” In times of pandemic, there are more recipients at home than usual. However, there are still some leftover packages. “That’s why we are happy when the neighbors accept something,” says Rocco on behalf of all the messengers.
