Some people have a little bit of an online shopping addiction. Vanessa O’Shea is one of those people. She loves to shop online, and she may do it a little too much. To avoid arguments about shopping and money with her husband, she came up with a way to make sure he doesn’t find out about all her purchases.
It was a simple and easy solution.
She wasn’t sure if it would work, and she mostly did it just to be funny, but she decided to buy a doormat that says, “Please hide packages from my husband.” She put it on her front door and hoped for the best. Her husband was aware of the rug, so he knew she was still shopping online.
One day, an Amazon deliveryman brought a package to the O’Shea home. He looked down at the mat and did exactly what it said to do. He looked for the perfect place to hide the package. He had Vanessa’s back.
Vanessa and her husband happened to be at dinner when they got a Ring doorbell notification telling them someone was at their home.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They giggled and laughed, and Vanessa was thrilled that he was following the directions.
They couldn’t wait to get home to find their hidden package, and they hoped to find out who the deliveryman was who worked so hard to follow the directions. Vanessa explained:
“My husband actually got the ring doorbell notification that someone was at the front door. We were at dinner and we’re both cracking up. He gets an A for effort.”
When they got home, they found the package safely packed away where Vanessa could easily find it, but it wasn’t in clear sight for her husband to see.
The deliveryman had accomplished his task. Vanessa was so happy with his actions that she decided to post the video from the doorbell camera on Facebook. She captioned it:
“Shoutout to #amazon for always being loyal and hiding my packages! 😂”
The video went viral.
People loved the idea of the mat and were shocked when the deliveryman followed the directions and worked so hard to hide the package. Vanessa and her husband felt that they needed to find the deliveryman and give him their appreciation.
A short time after her initial post, Vanessa posted a photo of herself and her husband with the deliveryman. She also tagged him in the post. His name is Gilberto Montanez Jr., and he is passionate about his job.
He agreed that the mat was funny, but he felt that he could help Vanessa out a little by following the directions.
The couple thanked him for being such a great delivery guy. Now, Vanessa knows that she has a partner in crime. She will probably start ordering a lot more packages. She will have to do something about that video doorbell, though. It’s going to give her away every time.

A lot of people thought it was great that Gilberto was hiding the package for her.
Some of the comments said:
“This makes me happy! He looks like a very sweet awesome guy!! #i❤gilberto”
“I’ve been following this story because I’m constantly hiding packages from my husband from all my online orders. I’m so happy you found him!”
“I love how he reads the mat and then you can see he’s thinking of how to follow the instructions! What a sweetheart!!!”
“This video was hilarious…that guy deserves a raise based on customer appreciation lol.”
“This was so awesome! You didn’t miss a beat. Read that mat and hid it. Keep up the good work! You’re awesome ”
Now that Gilberto is a social media star, he will probably be getting a lot of attention.
Women everywhere are going to be requesting deliverymen to hide their packages from their husbands. Let’s hope there are some other delivery people out there who are as dedicated to making their customers happy as Gilberto.
