We have a house with 6 kids opposite us and a house with 2 kids behind us. Somehow the 2 kids make far more noise than the 6. Oh yeah, crap parents.
New neighbours get their Sainsbury's delivery at 7am every Saturday morning... argh!

Funny, I'd have stereotyped the 6 kids parents as being worse

Never see dad, mum is always with them.
It seems the OP is well off the mark in this one and no it’s not that early and you shouldn’t go and speak to your neighbours. You even added your partner gets up at 7.30 anyway, seriously it’s 30 mins!
To be honest, if I was a delivery driver for Sainsbury’s and I got the OPs complaint, I’d be revising my van much slower to make sure I got an extra few beeps in for good measure. I’d also make that that those sticky van doors got a slam at the same time.

I like those ones, dense memory foam rather than weird pointy soft things.
This is just a long winded "spec me earplugs" thread isn't it

Not really, sleeping with earplugs in is horrendous.

Inconsiderate **** alert, typical modern day attitude. Ironically I bet you are a NIMBY ring leader
would you rather be woken up at 7am on a Monday? 
dunno about Sainsbury's delivery vans but some trucks have a cut-off button to mute the reversing beeper...maybe ask if they can do that if that's what wakes you up??
honestly...you might just get used to it, I'd give it a bit before trying to remedy the situation!

To put into context I've lived next door to utter scum where they kid used to call him mum a **** all night long, slam doors and ruin the whole street the horrible chavs.
I'd take a sainsburys lorry any day or time of the week.
Get some earplugs or even better a white noise machine.

It's not really. Depends how bad the noise is. I used to sleep in noise cancelling headphones to avoid neighbour noise.
Now that really was horrendous.
Try these, they are pretty good - I'm a light sleeper and the missus can snore for Britain sometimes, so I use these to get a decent nights kip:

I find splitting one in two gets about the perfect size and they really mould to the shape of your ear so you can hardly feel them.
Personally I've only ever found sleeping with earplugs a not very ideal experience. Working a lot of nights it is something I've investigated. Everyone's experience will be a bit different.
While I can comfortably get off to sleep with something like the Bose earbuds or other headphones in for some reason I only sleep about 1.5 hours and then wake up - I think when I hit a light part of sleep it starts to bother me for some reason and I wake up.

It's not always that simple.
How so?
It's not always a case of children being naughty for them to be loud. Parents might be trying their best but nothing they can do.
I was being a bit obtuse there as I knew where you were going with it. It is a bit of a tricky one as some parents for various reasons have their hands full without dealing with a difficult child but too many just don't want to go to the effort of dealing with a difficult child. (I have a bit of background with childcare albeit only qualified to NVQ level).

Take them inside. This is literally what a council environmental health officer said to me a few months back.
Even if the child has a medical or psychological issue it is still the parents responsibility to account for that. Case in question was an autistic kid near my parents who is basically put outside every time they throw a tantrum and the entire street then has to deal with it. This can be several times a day ranging from early morning to late at night.
