Toot

I got a note through the door that the Post Office has something for me but I need to pay some extra postage before they will give it to me.

I don't know what it is.

It's a real life experiment into how curious I am and how much I would pay to resolve the uncertainty!

@emma_cogdev what? That's insane that they'd charge the recipient. Is it some sort of import tax? That said, I'd probably end up paying 🙂

@leouieda It says that the person sending it didn't pay enough postage. I'm guessing logistically they only have guaranteed access to the recipient's address and not the sender's, so this is their only reliable option?

I'm so curious what it is but I'll be very upset if it's junk mail and I pay to receive it 😅

@emma_cogdev I'm still baffled by why they would take it anyway if that's the case.

I hadn't thought of the junk mail possibility. That would be very annoying indeed!
