There are several ways to avoid long conversations with couriers. You can try: 1. **Keep it polite but brief**: When the courier arrives, you can use a simple greeting, such as "Thank you, you've worked hard," and then quickly confirm the receipt of the package. 2. **Body language**: By smiling and maintaining a friendly attitude, you can convey your intention to complete the handover quickly. Body language will guide the other party to a certain extent. 3. **Get straight to the point**: Ask directly about the status or details of the delivery at the beginning, use this as a starting point for the conversation, and quickly get to the main point. 4. **Set a time limit**: If you are busy, you can mention that you have other things to deal with, such as: "I have a lot of things to do, can you hurry up?" 5. **Personal belongings**: If you have work on hand or a mobile phone, you can take it out and show it to indicate that you are busy. 6. **Use the door or doorway**: If you can, try to stand at the door to receive the package, which will make the communication shorter. With these methods, you can effectively reduce the time of conversation with the courier while ensuring politeness and respect.
