Hi everyone,
When a friend needs you to be at his/her house because he/she is expecting a delivery, would you say: ''Could you stop by my house around ten and 'take delivery of the package'? or simply 'take the package for me'?Could I use the first one when writing formal letters?
Btw, do you still use'' Please find attached the form ....etc. in emails or is it too outdated? I'm curious since I come across this phrase quite often.
Thanks guys.

Thank you!:) I'm just not sure if your second answer 'This would be fine for formal and casual circumstances' refers to the phrase about 'take delivery of' or to the sentence you wrote yourself, so I'm just checking. Would 'take delivery of something' be used nowadays or is it too clumsy?
