Two packages were supposed to arrive yesterday. Both of them were marked undeliverable as addressed, so this morning I went down to the post office so I would arrive the minute they opened. I wanted to try to intercept my packages before they were returned to their senders.
One package I did manage to get. My Elfdoll Vivien open eyed head arrived. The other is... somewhere. I don't know where. The post office didn't know where. They said they'd try to get my carrier to find it and bring it to me today but they didn't show up until really late in the day and I missed them so the package may or may not be in the apartment office. I guess we'll see tomorrow morning.
But about the head.
Wow, the eyes are so much bigger than what I did with my eye opening job. I guess I just wasn't getting a sense of scale from pictures and made them way too small? But now I'm used to them that size and they feel enormous at their regular size. Tomorrow maybe I can give the new head a face up to see if I prefer it or not.
I'm trying to talk myself out of being tempted to keep both. It would be weird to have two completely unrelated characters with the same mold, so I'd have to do something like mod the head I opened the eyes on to be sleepy again or something to justify keeping both and then I probably wouldn't alternate them like I should so it would defeat the purpose. I should just sell whichever one I decide I'm not going to use. Just a matter of convincing myself to actually do it. XD
Right now I'm exhausted from being out and about all day and waking up early to hunt down packages.
I'm afraid of talking about my other package until it arrives. I keep worrying I'll somehow jinx it despite the fact that its arrival has already been jinxed.
Oh no! What a pain D: Were the addresses just poorly written on the packages? It seems so strange that they wouldn't be able to deliver both...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you at least managed to rescue the head at least!
I don't know about the second address but the one I did pick up had the address labeled perfectly and printed out from a computer. Not really much room for error there. They were very confused about why our carrier marked it undeliverable.
DeleteThank you though! I was glad I was able to at least rescue one. A little less stressful that way, though I am still worried about where my other package will end up.
Hmmm I wonder if the carrier was new and just....screwed up? That happened with some stuff I was getting. Then our reg person came back and all was well. But I really hope you can get the MIA one. Not having any idea where something has gone too is the worst. Especially if it was expensive or from a person-to-person transaction as opposed to a business. Cause if it's lost you're sorta SOL. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBuy yay for Vivien! I'm curious to see the difference in the heads now *hints for pictures*
I found out what happened after calling the post office this morning to see what on earth "forwarded" meant. Apparently the apartment complex somehow lost the papers showing that I live there so they rejected all of my packages because they said I wasn't a resident. So I had to bring them some documents to get that cleared up and hopefully this will not happen again.
DeleteI will try to get some comparison shots soon!
