Talking To Delivery Drivers In China – Leave It With The Security Guard!

February 25, 2019 By Kwadwo

In our previous post, we talked about how to ask the delivery driver to come back after you’ve finished work. Today we’ll cover how to ask the delivery driver to leave your package with the Security Guard (bǎoān).

The delivery guy calls. How do you ask him to leave the package with your security guard?

Watch the video, copy the phrases below and practice them later!

So, the delivery guy calls while you’re at work. Because let’s be honest, that always happens. * Sigh *

If your apartment’s bǎo ān is kind enough to babysit packages, here’s what you tell the delivery guy to do:

Leave the package with the guard.
包裹 放 保安那就行
bāogu
ǒ fàng bǎoān nàr jiùxíng


Leave the package with the guard.
包裹 放 门卫那就行
bāogu
ǒ fàng mén wèi nàr jiùxíng


Two ways to say Security Guard

保安
b
ǎo ān

门卫
mén wèi

Technically 保安 bǎoān are responsible for the security of everything on the premises while 门卫 ménwèi are responsible for watching the gates.

In daily speech, the two titles are interchangeable.

Also, adding 就行 jiùxíng to the end of a verbal instruction in Chinese is like starting the sentence with “It’s ok if …..”

Try it out. Practice lots! Watch the video above to practice your tones!


Next week we’ll teach you how to ask the
Kuaidi Driver to come back in fifteen minutes.

Want to use the VPN I use for a stable, quick connection in China? I depend on it to upload more than six videos a week and live-stream on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. And here’s my second choice for a VPN. Plus, when you download from either link, they share some of the cost with me, so I can keep creating the videos you love.
