Andrew


Right before I went on holiday (like a life time ago), I got an order for two of my mice from a guy called Andrew. Brilliant! So, I got the ones he wanted, put them in a box, wrote his address on it, stuck a sticker with my address on it, got a stamp and sent it off. 

Then, earlier this week, I got a message from a friend of his: whether I knew what happened to those mice, since he never got them! I must admit, I did feel bad about that, because I don't use track and trace, which would make sending mice even more expensive.

Forward to yesterday and a box was waiting for me. Addressed to Andrew. With a sticker from Royal Mail on top. Saying it hadn't been collected. And therefore being sent back to me. 

From what I could gather from the stickers and such: the box had arrived within a week of me sending it, but it was never collected. I know Andrew has been extremely busy lately, so a Royal Mail notice might have slipped his notice. But, three weeks after sitting on a shelf, the mice were sent back. It then took a further three weeks to get to me for some reason. 

Those are adventurous mice I can tell you!

    1. The box looks a bit battered, but then again: two flights and being thrown about here, there and everywhere! I just hope they weren't sick!!

  2. Oh my word those mouse has been around and about many miles and sat on a shelf too. I bet he was hungry and tired upon arrival back in Norway. Did you ever hear from Andrew about them or just his friend?

  4. Pity the mice didn't have a camera to record their trip.

    1. I think it would have been conveyor belts and airplanes. And a very dark box!

    1. Perhaps they went to Africa in the mean time?

  7. Well I'm glad they were found. Yes returned mail takes a very long time to get back to you. Are you mailing them back to him?
