Send a box of presents to a friend which should have arrived in time for Christmas. It didn’t show up and today it arrived back to me and I’m baffled why.
The presents were packed into a cardboard box which I sealed with parcel tape. My friend’s name and address were clearly written in black sharpie in large writing on a white bit of paper which I sellotaped to the box. I had written from our address in small writing on the side.
The box arrived back a bit battered but with their name and address still clearly legible. Someone had written and scored out friends name on the side of the box and written it again on another side of the box. It had a returns label taped to it with no reason given.
Friend says there was no missed parcel slip through her door. It was sent Royal Mail (not signed for or tracked). I have triple checked the address is correct.
I’m just relieved that the presents haven’t gone missing but I’m a little bored tonight so have shared my mild curiosity with MN in the hopes someone can give me a reason and prevent this happening again when I re-send it.
