As the topic. I have just recieved a post slip with 40 bucks import charges and i have no idea whats in it.
Does this happen often to you guys??
-
All the damn time :p :p :p :p
-
Combination of Amazon Prime, ebay, preordering hardware, massdrop, and group buys results in this happening waaaaay too often.
I finally succumbed to using a package tracking app on my phone and paying close attention to my email to reduce this effect slightly.

All the damn time :p :p :p :p
what do i do, do i roll the dice? :D

I don't ever have bills in the mail come, and my post lady signs any packages for me, so I don't ever get the slip saying I need to sign and where it is from, so I like to look to make sure the package is for me, then don't look at the label. Sometimes even when I look at the label though I don't know what I ordered.
-
The closest I get to this is when my lazy postlady fails to write an initial on the "while you were out" card so I excitedly head to the post office to collect a pleasant surprise, but on inspection the unidentified package has never been for me :(
-
i got a slip explicitly for me, have to show my id etc.
so it should be for me. This has never happened before, i went through my history on pp, massdrop, gon and mail. Maybe something shipped without updating the status.

At least you get a package out of the deal :)). Annoys the crap out of me when I get a package from DHL and then weeks later BAM there's an invoice in my mailbox with fees.

From Amazon - quite often.

Surprise buttsex?

i've had it happen for the first time last friday when i got a package from target. turns out my gf got me the fu gee la cd randomly.
IT WAS AWESOME. YOU SHOULD ROLL THE DICE.
-
Way too often.. the lady from the post office prolly thinks I'm running a drug ring or some **** when I'm getting packages 5-7 times a week.
-
I am usually really good about remembering what I ordered then today I got a package in the mail and was totally confused. I had no idea what it was. Opened it up and it is the two Teensy controllers I ordered yesterday. I can't believe they got here so quick!
-
All the time. The postal "service" over here doesn't post any info about the sender on the customs slip.
-
Never. Simply never.
-
Once a week. Too many small parts purchases from eBay.
-
Very rarely happens to me but today I received some car parts. Apparently we share the same address. I'm North, they are South. Oh and of course different zipcode. Post office error. Someone is coming to pick it up tomorrow.
-
It used to happen to me for about half the packages I received. And half of those things I ordered I had completely forgotten about.
Now I have a system I wrote that helps me track things like this.
Sometimes I miss the unexpected surprises.
-
i got fooled, massdrop said they were shipping with dhl, but somehow it ended up in normal mail to me. not sure how their system works.
