pretty obvious at this time of year that people are buying christmas presents imo.
so ds orders a present for me. has it done in his dads name so that I don't open parcel(has to be an over 18 buying it)
so what does the seller do.
write what is in the parcel on the outside.
one suprisenow ruined
(obviously ds will not know I know)

how bizarre!
who was the seller?

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 02/12/2008 10:36

no idea as I am not allowed to see the order, as it is a suprise.
so I can't even email them and call them names.

I think that is actually quite a common occurance the world over now, especially if passing customs.

Was it insured then, because I think you have to out what is inside if it is...

2AdventSevenfoldShoes · 02/12/2008 11:03

it didn't go through customs.

but maybe the seller sells overseas quiet often, but did it out of habit!!
ok in future if this is done againe, I will not even pick up parcel.

Just the same thing happened to us this week. It was a book my DH had bought me for Christmas (from England, no customs involved). So now I know what I am getting, which is very irritating. I mean, I knew it was a book but did they really need to put the title on the address label

Also from an Amazon seller BTW.
