I went back to my old condo that I just sold to collect my Lazada parcel which was sent to the wrong address. I opened the door with the key I still have to retrieve the parcel. Is it considered trespassing?

Dear [New Owner's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I recently received a parcel mistakenly sent to the condo I previously owned at [Condo Address]. I apologize for entering without permission; I was unaware it would be an issue.
Could we arrange a time for me to collect my parcel, or would you prefer to leave it at the concierge?
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
****
