I've done this.Hell I still have an unopened box with a booklet in it from coming on two years ago now.

How can this be a thing? I must open packages immediately - it's like Christmas every time I get a delivery!

Exactly! It's like what overly large sex toy did I drunkenly order a week ago?

Did this for Halloween for items I didn't end up wearing. I consoled my account balance by whispering "better safe than sorry" to myself.

Whereas I ordered a package from Amazon with 2 day shipping then received it two days late because the post office opened & inspected it.

"You better have this to me tomorrow, my unopened box pile is getting low" - Me every time something is next day prime.

Any time I choose to pay for 2 day delivery vs the free 3-5 day, it takes longer than just choosing the free delivery. At musicians friend

Yeah musicians friend is the best. And the worst. Great selection, horrible service.

I accidentally ordered Large Rifle primers from Brownells They charged an extra $28 for shipping them. Forgot about the Fulminate of Mercury

Just FYI if I wasn't clear I paid for early shipping, RECEIVED the item, and then didn't open it until days later.

9 years ago | Likes 132 Dislikes 16

So you got the package early due to efficiency of the USPS without paying extra, but never opened it? OP you're crazy.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Wait, slow down. Did you pay for EARLY shipping, received YOUR item, and then didn't open IT until days later? Please clarify.

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

Thank you for clarifying that...we weren't sure before.

You mean you paid extra to have items shipped to you a day early but didn't open the box for a few days, like the text in OC says, right?

No no, you're not getting it. He paid extra to have items shipped to him a day early but didn't open the box for a few days.

How is this not clear already?

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

Well you see the packaged arrived, and he got it, but he just didn't open the package. Does that clear it up?

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

But did he pay extra to have it shipped early or not?

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

He did indeed pay extra, but didn't open the package until a few days later

I've ordered next day shipping and the item ships 4 days later. The company says the shipping is next day but the handling takes a few days

Never understood that

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Amazon did that to me so many times without notifying me until after I ordered that I cancelled Prime.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Ive ordered probably over 200+ items on Amazon with Prime and never had this happen (except where it said it would take extra on the page)

I've had them email me about a delay

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I had a delay once and they reimbursed me for shipping.

As a mailman, that actually happens super often...Deliver a package into the mailbox and it's there the whole week.

My husband is a mailman too! I love the stories he tells. Who knew mail could be so amusing?!

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What do you do when the mailbox is too small for the package? Please tell me you don't just wedge it in the opening.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Well, if the mailbox is too small for the package then I wouldn't be able to wedge it in in the first place, but usually we'll either 1

Plenty. Once a girl was walking her big golden retriever and it slipped its collar and cornered me on a porch...Good times, good times.

Do you ever check the mail thats left in the mailbox?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If I can see an uncancelled stamp or if there's writing on the mail or if the flag on the box is up, yes.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

huh..mine doesn't. Once she just threw everything on the ground, including my new mail.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This doesn't excuse her doing that, but was your mailbox full? Also, did you report that to your post office?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It had 3 letters in there. I had written that the people on the mail didn't live there. Few days later I find everything on the ground.

Personal question . . . you know - for a friend: Do you know any fee mail men?

Most people just call them transsexual

Well that would be a female man - which is a bit different.

I mean...I don't exactly know what you mean, but I'll take a stab...Are you looking for like stripper mailmen?

Well, *I* am not looking - you know, my *friend* is . . . and only if they do it . . . you know - for a *fee*.

Hahaha, well, unfortunately for your friend I don't think you'll find any legitimate mailmen who are willing to do that, or if there are 1
