Since it is an odd shape, I had to manufacture a box which did not look pretty. I planned on wrapping it in brown paper to make it more safe and secure (also to cover the face that I made Frankenbox) but I ran out of shipping tape.
I decided to pick up some tape on the way to the post office and finish wrapping it in the parking lot. When I got to the post office the package was not there! I figured that I may have absent-mindedly laid it down at home and simply forgot to grab it on the way out. I went ahead and mailed my other packages and headed back to the house. The package was not there.
I dug through my van, turned my house upside down and still no package. I have come up with three possible scenarios. The package fell out when I opened the sliding door to put in the shopping bag from the store, someone stole it out of my van, or aliens beamed it aboard their mother ship because they needed the advanced technology. :) The way my day is going, I am really leaning toward aliens.
Needless to say, I had to write an apology letter and issue a refund to the nice lady who made the purchase. Now, if the aliens would simply return my merchandise - I will be happy.
