Post package day!
I came home to find this waiting for me yesterday..woo hoo!.it was delivered to the wrong apartment,and the neighbor just so happened to be honest and give it to me.I did'nt even know him and his name is'nt close to mine, so I wonder why does the post office let others sign for your stuff without checking or asking for the name on the package??this happen to anyone else?

As a matter of fact, the very same thing happened to me! About a month ago, I ordered a Zag and a few other assorted minis that somehow ended up at a freakin' DAYCARE about a block from where I work. Completely a delivery service error. The only way I knew it had been delivered is by checking the tracking number and discovering that it was at an unfamiliar address and signed for by a name I didn't recognize! I had nightmares about hordes of snot-nosed little brats tearing into a box and finding what else? TOYS. I can't imagine what they would have done to them. Luckily the woman at the daycare was very nice. I even managed to get the package in my possession before Zag ended up covered in crayola and glitter glue. Needless to say, I panicked until I got there.

nice pickup RC..I've been thinking about getting those two but have held off. Do you just have the one? Bust it open!!

I've had numerous shipping blunders in my neighborhood. Plus my USPS postman has decided to arbitrarily not deliver any of my packages so I have to pick every package up at the post office. It's a real pain in the ass and means waking up early on a Saturday to get packages.

I only have the white, I had the red on hold, but then some take-shit stuff came up and had to let the red go.I opened it about 2 seconds after that picture was taken.I felt it suffocated for a few years and quickly released it .

The post guy used to just drop off packages right in front of our home's doorsteps exposed to the weather and anyone walking by. Luckily it was always there when we got home but I finally had enough and complained. FYI, even if they delivered to u in person, they'll never ask for ID to verify.

Nowadays the post office keeps the packages until I pick them up. They ALWAYS ask for ID confirmation which is perfect. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

That's why I've used a PO Box for so long - avoids a whole boat load of potential mistakes. Even if one of the numbers is off, the folks will know you name and make sure you get the package. PO Boxes rule.

BTW, nice score!

when i got to here in your sentence, i thought for a second you lifted that from your neighbor...

mis-delivery happens to us all the time. we have 4 different mail carriers (that's pc for mailmen) and only two of them speak english. the other two speak very little english. adding to that our address here is 3546 which very commonly gets switched around all the time to 3456. i'm still waiting for three different hellacopters singles to show up that i bought in late november... glad to read you have honest neighbors.
