waiting on a x/mas gift

There isn't anyone else who can go pick it up? And the bus or taxi isn't an option? I couldn't manage without a car. My boyfriend has said things about not having one if and when we move out of the U.S., but I have made it clear on where I stand on that idea.

Here you can call and explain the situation and they will redelivery in most cases. Hope you get it alright and it isn't sent back. That would be a bummer. Nice of your friend to send it to you. Sounds like quite a situation with your Aunt's car.

You are lucky that the post office atleast attempts to deliver packages to your house. Here at my apartment in Ontaio they just leave a note, and don't even make an attempt. If they'd ring the buzzer, they'd get an answer, because one of us is always home. 9 times out of 10 we get one of those damned notices that they don't even try, or a final attempt when no previous notices were received.

we got some of that storm here but you folks got hit way worse than us. hopefully you will be able to get both your package and your groceries soon. i don't think they will send it back right away. they probably hold it for a few weeks and in light of the holidays and the storm, maybe a little bit longer.

Hi winterose! Living in snow land is something I have never experienced. I complain about how cold it is here . . . grayness of the skies and a little bit of sogginess from some rain is all . . . that's nothing compared to the big chill and inconveniences of living in snow. We go on our one day drives to go see the snow . . . we play for a few hours, perhaps eventually freeze our toes off . . . we have our fun and then drive home to thaw. I can't imagine being snowed in, having to shovel snow off the car and sidewalks, and dealing with all the other work that comes with living in snow. ANYWAY As others have said, maybe the post office can work with you - either for a delivery or at least to have the parcel be put on hold? And is it possible for a grocery delivery service from the store too? See, I have no clue how things are managed during a snow storm. I hope it all works out somehow . . . stay warm til then!!! Happy belated holidays to you too, winterose!!

Stay warm and safe through the snow storm. I know how cold winters can get in the Canadian prairies. I hope that you have stocked food and water for emergencies such as snow storms. Wishing that you and your aunt keep safe and warm.

Hoping all works out for you hugs

call the Post Office and explain your situation. My daughter did that when I sent her a package to Vegas and they worked with her . its worth a try.

That's the part I dislike the most about snow, traveling. I just had people over for dinner (a delayed Christmas gathering) and we just had our third winter storm of the season this morning, bringing us another 4 or 5 inches. A few days ago, we got 4 inches of sleet along with a few inches of snow so our driveway and private road were still partially ice covered with a fresh layer of snow. The people who came all have cars without 4-wheel drive so they had trouble. My son couldn't even get up our driveway (which does have a fairly steep hill) so he had to park down by our pavilion and walk back to the house. (He's young and strong so it's not a big deal to him.) I don't venture out much when we get snow. I do have 4-wheel-drive so I am able to get out when I need to, at least if we haven't had freezing rain where everything is coated with a layer of ice. I certainly hope that your aunt will be able to get out soon to pick up your package and get you to the store for your groceries. I don't have to worry about it now because we have a driveway but I remember well all the years I had to shovel out around my car and worry about someone else taking my parking spot the moment I pulled out to go somewhere. I've been in a lot of really large snowstorms where we'd get over 30 inches of snow and nobody was going anywhere for quite awhile. That's why I like to have extra everything in the house for emergencies, like canned soups, toilet paper, milk, bread, whatever I might need.

Can you call the post office and ask them to redeliver the package or hold it for you until you're able to go pick it up? Our post office is really good about things like that.

Hi if your having a snow storm which happing right now in my area call the post office up and tell them your problem so they hold your package or maybe bring it to you again. make the call to see if they can hold it or bring it to you. OK have a good day.

I wonder now that there was a heavy fall of snow ,if you could picked it up some time later when the snow began to melt.Would the post office charge you storage fee?

Hello winterose. How lucky you are to receive a gift from a good friend. I feel blessed and loved everytime I receive a gift. It means that we are remembered! I wish the snow storm will be okay so that you will not be getting more snow. As to christmas gift, I wish I could receive the one that I had been waiting. It will be sent too through mail. Advance Happy New Year!

I can tell that your such a beautiful and good person because someone remembered you in this this special season. Indeed you are special also. May loves you including your aunt who is considered an errand , rarely can we find such as your aunt. Cheers !

Yes, how dare it snow in winter in Canada? Lots of snow here in Hamilton, too, and unfortunately, I never did get my snow shovel out of the shed in the back yard. I suppose I could get it now, but there's a huge drift in the way...

I have had that happen to me found a postcard on my door telling me I have a package to pick up at the post office. Luckily I only live a mile away so I can walk there if I need to. I hope that you are able to get the package soon and that it isnt something that will spoil before you can get it.

I hope you can pick it up before the post office send it back to the sender. I received my x-mas gift from my mom just in time for the season. Aside from that, I haven't had a lot of x-mas gifts this year compared last year.
