KK has started ordering stuff and sending it to this address instead of her own, and the latest delivery has encountered a snag I have never had before. I have a community mailbox, courtesy of Canada Post, and so the box is quite small. When I receive parcels they are placed in a separate locked box and the mail carrier puts the key in my smaller box. I use the key to open the large communal box and then toss the key in the mail slot to be returned to Canada Post, easy-peasy. Only this time, the key in my box did not work. I tested it on all three community boxes in the area just in case they decided to put the parcel elsewhere, and no dice. It is the wrong key.

So now I am on hold with customer service to see if they can help me with this. This is NOT how I wanted to spend my evening, and I am trying not to be annoyed about the whole situation of wasting my time for a parcel I didn't even order.

I am going to make a valiant attempt to get to bed early, but it will depend a bit on how long this customer service call takes.
