I get my parcels delivered to the UPS store. Canada Post left a slip for me there, but they couldn't leave the package because of duties. I went to the post office, where they acknowledged my slip and my ID, but said I couldn't prove that the UPS mailbox was legally mine. Rules. π
I knew that they would relent eventually, but I had to listen to an aggrieved lecture for 10 minutes.
What was in the parcel, you ask?
