anysiaShadoutCarver sent me something from the US. After it was shipped out, it was spotted that the wrong house number had been typed on the shipping label.
I get rather frantic IM and email from the sender, with a copy of the "Attempted to Deliver" information. I waited until 9am and called local Post Office. I explained, provided the tracking number, and even the senders information.
I told him I would be sending my son down to get it, as I have a horrible cold and really don't want to be out and about. He asked "He has same surname?"
I said no, and explained how I 'married' my last name.
He said "Aren't you the photographer I see with the camera and camera bag?"
Yes
"Oh, just send him down with his own ID and your telephone bill and he can pick it up for you."
