Mailing adventure

Posted by John on March 5th, 2006

Our mail goes through our guard house. So if we receive a package, they keep it there and leave us a note.

In April 2005 we ordered some books and DVDs online, but we never received anything. So in May we wrote the company and they sent a second one. Which we received later on.

Yesterday, we get a call from our guard house, saying that they have a package for us and we need to collect it at once. So I go there and find out that the first package has been in there for at least 9 months, the box was rotten and polyester was coming out. And that’s the only reason why they looked for us, because they couldn’t stand the polyester snowflakes all over their precious guard house!! It’s been sitting there for at least 9 months and nobody cared to find out why…
