Toot

So, I got an email a few days ago about an incoming UPS delivery. Assumed spam and ignored it.

Yesterday I got a "cleared customs email". Asked my wife, she had no idea about it either...

Copied and pasted the tracking number to see if it's legit, and it seems like it is 🤷

Says it's coming from "And Drop". I have no idea what that could be.

Got an updated delivery date for it this morning, so on Monday I find out! 😁

Hoping it's not some boring thing that we forgot that we ordered, lol.

The mystery package has arrived, and it wasn't a scam!

Also, was not me or my wife who ordered it. We'd been arguing that the other one had ordered something and forgot about it, lol.

Anyone want to guess what it is?

So it was a Thank You gift from YouTube!

I can only attach 4 pictures here at a time, so you get to go through the unboxing with me and wait to find out what it was before I figure out the alt-text for the next 4 images, lol

I should have recorded the unboxing, instead of only taking pictures, but I didn't realize how fun it would be to open, lol.

(For those who read the letter, Lisa was my partner manager for the last several years)

@kevinpowell One type of scam that is doing rounds here in Belgium is that someone ships something to your address. They then come pick up their package at your place "because they mixed up the address".

However, turns out they didn't pay for the package upon ordering, so a few days later you get sent the invoice.

But fingers crossed it's something nice you are about to receive :)

@Luke It is from YouTube actually, but not the plaque yet! When we saw it was from YT, my wife and kids were all sure it was the plaque, but I knew they wouldn't ship that until after I pass 1 million :)
