Whew the suspense was killing me. Glad it worked out and was nicely wrapped. Oh wait there is still the suspense of what you got from the signature auction.
I have caught my postman twice now tossing a tube over my side alley gate. (Onto pavement And right side is a wide rain runoff gully)
First time it was a bus shelter. It almost left his hands javelin tossing it when I called out. I wasn't rude but definitely explained that he is potentially fraking my posters at the end of their journey.....and reminded him the gate doesn't lock. He has used the gate before and knows me and three neighbors all get the packages here. It is interesting when the tossed packages prevent you from opening the gate :/ tube either roll into the gully or roll back to the tall fence gate.
So blah blah blah
Second time he knocks on my front door. I walk 5 feet and open the door, as I walk I see him through the window already walking away, I fling open the door and there he is again tossing one of the two tubes over the fence. I think I was more shocked how fast he did a "drive-by knock" on my door and manage to toss the first tube so fast. Honestly I was mad enough not to remember clearly what I said. I wasn't up in his face or yelling thankfully.
He just had the Oh Shit How Did He Open The Door So Fast Face. My mail is now always placed neatly inside my screen door under covered back porch as is all the neighbors packages. Only lost one poster to water (flatpacked and drank the water right up) Had some wet tubes but luckily they were thick tubes.
