Appa's original post
I had an envelope arrive yesterday with a return address to "Cupid". I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I can't believe I have to stare at this envelope for so long before I can finally open it. It's going to be torture!! :cry: :rolleyes:

Amberkatze - January 7, 2008 05:26 PM (GMT)

I mentioned this in the Birthday Exchange but I thought I would mention it here too. My birthday is the day after V-day. My 2 partners might want to get together so they don't send duplicates. :blush:

Another package is heading your way.

camis - January 16, 2008 12:20 PM (GMT)
I've received 2 pckages today from Paperbackshop - are they from my cupid? :unsure:

Xeyra - January 16, 2008 03:13 PM (GMT)
I got a big box and an envelope yesterday from my Valentine (though in rather WTF circumstances). Thank you so much!! :wub:

Except now I'm going to suffer for a whole month!!!

Hey camis,

I would think they are indeed the books (plural, hehe) I ordered for you from an online bookseller. The bookseller has a different name on the site I ordered from but I think I recall receiving a package from Paperbackshop when I ordered from the same bookseller recently.

I did ask them to write Valentine Exchange somewhere on the package but they obviously didn't.

So, do not open until February 14!! Or you'll be :whip: :whip: :whip:

From your :wub: cupid.

I sent a package to my partner yesterday and have rec'd a package from my partner. Very exciting!

Now I'm off to ....

HIDE it in the file cabinet so it's out of my sight!

No, no! Not anything your fault. It's the post office and the postal workers around here that have given me troubles with packages for the past two months.

This one, just imagine, was actually delivered to a neighbour of mine. And that wouldn't be so odd if the postman actually delivered it at the building. No. They leave notifications that we have packages to pick up at the post office for anything that doesn't fit the mailbox and we have to go to the PO, sign the notification, get it compared to our ID, and then we get our packages.

The WTF is that the notification came in the name of my neighbour, she brought it to the PO, signed it, and got delivered two packages (including yours) that were meant for me. We have totally different names. The PO actually gave someone else's mail (mine) to my neighbour, which, if you think about it, means they were involved in a criminal act.

They've also failed to notify me of three packages I had waiting for me at the PO, which meant they were returned to the sender. And they have given me the wrong packages (though, fortunately, they were actually for me too) in two occasions. As I said before, each package that doesn't fit the mailbox should come with a notification you have to sign to pick them up at the PO, and each notification should correspond to a package, so I can't understand how they give me something from Sweden when the notification corresponds to a package from Portugal (or a package from Australia when the notification said USA).

Anyways, this turned out to be a long rant. Sorry!

BunnyLady - January 18, 2008 02:40 PM (GMT)
Oh my....! Rec'd a second package yesterday from my partner!

I'm off to go :reading: to keep my mind off "hidden in file cabinet packages"!

Amberkatze - January 18, 2008 02:43 PM (GMT)
Need to do some shopping!!! :duh:

I have been adding some more books to my wish list but I guess that is a bit too late for Valentine. :rolleyes:
Well I also added some on Christmas.
I have received a lot of wish list books in 2006 so I needed to make my wish list more eclectic.

still more than 3 weeks to go.

Haha!! I am a curious cupid and went and had a look at your list. You now have 2 packages coming to you! Can't remember which sellers they will be from but they are clearly address 'VALENTINES EXCHANGE'.

I hope they arrive in time!

stellarv - January 21, 2008 08:52 PM (GMT)

I actually thought they seller would be smart and mail them all together to save on posting but apparently they decided individually the packages had more flair. And by your reaction, it worked. :P

Your parcel was mailed yesterday - hope it gets there soon! Just real I did not write on that it was for Valentines :blush: , so be on the lookout for a shiny silver package.
