The Ongoing Package Saga

To continue the story of our lost packages, we got a package slip in our mailbox on Monday, which I assumed was for one of the things we'd been expecting, though it was a guess as to which thing it might be since there was nothing on the slip about the company it was from. It was all a bit fishy though since I doubted the Lands' End stuff that had been re-sent to cover the lost stuff had arrived in only 4 days, and the package slip, coincidentally enough, had the same date on it as the date they supposedly lost our packages. So basically it looked as though a lost package had been found.

We went to pick it up yesterday, and sure enough it was a big box from Lands' End, which contained two pairs of shoes. And it was the original shipment, sent at the beginning of February, not the one that was shipped again last week to replace the thought-to-be-lost one. So they found this one at least it seems. Except now we have a replacement shipment coming as well. So I'm not sure what we're going to do with that. We don't need two pairs of shoes each, so I would want to send the shoes back to the company, but I would want the post office not to charge us for this since it's their fault we will have a big box to ship back to the US. I realize the unlikelyhood of wrangling this out of the post office, but I'd want to give it a shot. O though suggested just rejecting the other box when it comes, saying we just don't want it. Can you do this? At the very least, I suppose we could just leave it at the post office for the 3 weeks they keep packages, after which time I assume they send it back to where it came from. So if we just don't go pick it up, they should send it back for us eventually. Right? Thank you TPG for this pain-in-the-ass problem.

Thank goodness the shoes seem to fit, though a bit loosely, because if we also wanted to trade the ones we have now for a different size... It would all be such a pain.
