Fortuitous

I received the following email on July 24:

I’ve finally (sorry) sent your K-on goods but it seems to be stuck
at a post office in LA. Are you away from your home now?

Nonchan from Studio Neko-Han-Ten was able to send a prize I had won in another of his contests (March 7 & May 8 Entries).

Apparently, no one was able to receive the package when it was delivered on July 19, which I discovered by looking at the tracking number (nonchan was smart enough to send me this number). Unfortuantely, I couldn’t find any notices about a failed delivery, and since it was Sunday I had to wait until Monday.

Now, this wouldn’t have been much of a concern, except there’s a policy for USPS to return packages to sender if they’re unclaimed for 5 days. I hoped that they didn’t count the day it arrived. I couldn’t verify it over the phone since no one was answering the phones on a Sunday.

I then remembered that my Jury Duty starts Monday! How would I be able to get it in time?! I checked online to see the reporting instructions and, luckily, I didn’t have to report to the courthouse on Monday! Yay! Now, I just had to wait until Monday morning to get the package before it went back to Japan.

I went to the post office on Monday as soon as it opened, and I got the package in time. It came with a CD, pamphlet, and 2 clear files. =D

Thanks again, nonchan!
