Welch on
You tell your brother to pick up a package at the post office and he fails to do that.
Would the verb 'welch on' be appropriate in that situation?
"You totally welched on that." I don't come across this word very often so I suppose that there is a better option.
Any suggestions?
Thank you. I always appreciate your help.

To 'welch/welsh' on somebody is to fail to pay a gambling debt or to break a promise you made to them. Your brother would not have welched on you unless he promised to pick up your package and failed to do so. You could say 'You totally let me down, bro'.
