    My friend from California sent me a small package. Not in a box, but more of a moderate sized bubble wrapped envelope. She says it's a little bigger than a piece of binder paper, and it doesn't fit in my mail box cuz new residence here shares a buncha mailboxes with other people.

    But it's been a month some..and yeah the package isn't here. She checked so many times making sure my address was right too.

    But yeah..it's not like she didn't put her address on there, so I was thinking, if it was lost, or the address was incorrect, wouldn't it just bounce back to California for the worst?

    I ordered the island bruce plush from ebay and it came in a cubic box and it already got here.

    So..I dunno what to do..even if it got to my neighbor's address by accident, the package still has MY address on it and we need photo ID with address with it in order to pick it up...they won't deliver the package cuz it doesn't fit for sure. It's just a little notice from the post office saying there's something waiting for us.

    I know Canada customs loves to hold stuff back from the states especially, but I mean a month some is so long for something that came from California..

    I dunno what to do now :/

    That depends. What was in the envelope? Illegal substances may get taken by the postal office.

    It wasn't anything close to illegal at all. It was meant as a birthday gift.
    Sooo yeah.

    If it was valuable, it's possible someone took it on you...?

    It's just a piece of clothing.
    And Cackle, as i mentioned, the package needs to be PICKED UP by someone with photo identification, AND the proof of address too, or else it sits at the post office. So it can't just have "went to the wrong" house sorta thing.

    Unless..someone at the post office or custom really decided they want to steal clothes from other people :/

    That'd be SO weird if that was why.
    Cuz the people at her post office stamped it o_o Like she didn't put stamps on it at home.

    hmm yeah if you didn't get it and she hasn't gotten it back by now I'm sorry to say it's probably gone...lost or stolen or eaten by tigers probably
    there's always the chance that it fell down in some crack in the post office and in like 80 years someone will find it and send you it and you'll have a great story to tell your great grandchildren? Yeah im horrible at trying to cheer people up if you haven't gotten that by now...you should just stop reading now...

    It's probably lost and I'm not surprised. I heard Canadian post sucks butt. Sorry Mooie :(

    I can send you a shirt if it'll make you feel better, although it won't be the same, I have killer fashion sense.

    NAH MAN. You know those caprisun juice packs? Well my friend sent me stuff in a box of caprisun {it's more long than anything}, the same one that sent me this, and sent me some chocolate and gifts from it, and the effin post man just stuck it between the screen door. If someone saw that they could have took it >_>
