Hey, that sounds like our post office. I'm guessing DHL is one step
above in terms of customer service, here...
My favorite thing about driving clear to the other side of town, and
waiting half an hour in line to pick up my package, is I drive by
another post office on the way. That one I have mailed packages from.
It's usually not very busy. The one where my packages are is the busiest
post office in the city. Oh, and forget about ringing the bell at the
door that says "For parcel pick-up only" nobody ever actually answers that.
FUn spelled with a capital F-U .. :D

Well, I doubt a brand-new artbook (imprint of the first of this or last
month) by a Japanese artist would be available anywhere else yet. Another
thing to factor in is express shipping runs 'round the clock and on
weekends, so they had like three days.

Don't wedding rings come in pairs, one for each gender?

Thread been going on for some time but I though it was mainly about
postmen. Now it seems to get more general, so here is my personal
experience with parcels: When my wife and I are not at home, parcels are
generally delivered to a neighbour. Likewise we get parcels for
neighbours. Delivery addresses are sort of normally distributed with a
standard deviation of 1.5 houses. The delivery guy leaves a note at
which address the parcel is. That is of course only for parcels that
have been paid for already.

Yeah, that happens sometimes.
But not if the neighbors aren't home either. ;-)

Yes, and it's usually the ladies that organise and buy them. ;)

None of the shops we looked at had to sell them that way; in fact, it
was only the pricier stuff that came like that.

Actually, last time I rescheduled a delivery, I typed in at 11PM the code
off the card and they redelivered the next morning.
Of course, they wouldn't have needed to do that if they actually waited the
30 seconds it takes me to get to the front door from my office on the other
side of the house on the wrong floor.

Assuming the postal workers aren't also on lunch break at that time...

Interestingly, I checked the ship date on my domestic amazon
order...June 2/3. Heh. I know I selected the free shipping, but is
that really that much to explain a month's difference?
