I shipped a hammer once. I just printed the shipping label and stuck it on. Got a complaint from the post office but the recipient got it alright. I think he still has the label on it.
i bought a carburator for a motorcycle (a 450) and a month later the truck brings the whole bike complete and running the funny thing is i only paid 70 bucks for it!!!
I haven’t done much package recieving. I ordered a few T-Shirts from Something Positive (Linked) once… I got my computer in the mail too. Also a friend sent me fake clay booze (as a joke since I don’t drink.) along with the first two MegaTokyo books for my birthday. I guess that’s the most interesting thing I’ve gotten. Not nessicarily amazing though.
the weirdest thing I ever got was……. (from my parents)A stuffed Rabbit that laughed(Kind of creepy, Actully), the package had been broken and I asked what happend. The box had fallen off the conveyer belt and the rabbit started laughing, freaking out all of the employes, so the called the cops and when they opened the box the rabbit fell out and they all had a good laugh, (which continued even after I got there).
nothing really weir but i order some new piercings from thailand when the package arived it was opend taped back together with customs on it and there was just a hole through the entire package luckely nothing of the sterilestuff was contaminated
ow yeah i once got a catnecklace with a bell on it and a note from a girlfriend
I fill out fake names all the time, hugh japackage being the funniest IMO. The coolest was the journal of a friend who died in Iraq, her parents sent it to me because it had some ahem, personal stories about me and her and they thought I should have it.
I have two weird mail stories.
The first was for my birthday, from a friend. I got several unmarked envelopes each day for a month leading up to the day in question.Each one contained a thong. Sized XXL. That smelled used (according to my roommate.) It got to the point that I had a betting thing going on about what colour the undies would be.
The second, was a huge box. It had lots and lots of packaging, and then, in the centre, was a lock of bright red hair tied with a green ribbon. It had my correct name, address, postal code, all that stuff… but I did not know anyone with that shade of hair.
I used to work at an adult boutique and about 3 months after leaving for a better job I got a “thank you” gift in the mail. Let us just say that none of the contents of the box were appropriate to discuss on a forum where children might be reading nor did my mother really need to see them but she insisted I open that box in front of her.
probaly fuses and detonateors no im no teersest i just a a lisence to make and use bomes and the teraeset amgs are cheap also it tells were u know who is bush is serching for him
So glad I stumbled upon your site, it’s been very amusing so far! Most amazing thing I’ve ever received–Guitar Hero for my DS as a surprise from my boyfriend, after listening to me talk about it so much.
the weirdest thing i have ever recieved in the mail was a notice to come down to the shipping companys headquarters in toronto (i ive in canada). when i got there they took into the back and showed me my package attached to the underside of a shelf. i had ordered some large and powerful magnets and they had gotten stuck to the shleves. the company had been trying to get them off but decided to contact me instead. they had had the box for 3 days. i took 3 hours to get my box. they asked me never to order magnets again.
Probably the Master Sword I ordered. I don’t think it’s the real one, though, because the next time I turned on my Legend of Zelda game, Link still had it.
Also, this one was made in Pakistan.
My dad sent some cool stuff through the mail, since he’s not living with us anymore.
So far, me and my brothers have gotten the computer I’m currently using (plus the keyboard,screen, mouse and bluetooth speakers!), a Tablet PC, a PS2 (plus a bunch of games for it, and some for the PC), an MP4 player, USB drives, an SD memory card, a separate CD-RW drive that’s connected by an USB cable (this was before the Desktop computer, which includes a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive by itself) and a bunch of other stuff.
Also, another thing I’ve gotten through the mail is the modem that gives me access to the net, the company ships it to you when you order the service. It’s very cool, you can connect up to four computers with regular Ethernet cables, and one with a USB connection! Plus, it’s ALSO wireless, so I can play on the internet with the Wii without problem!
A snake.
Not even kidding
Instead of office chair, box contained bobcat. WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN.
He got a box within a box!
Those things are dangerous! I lost my smision to quone!
I once got a life sized space shuttle, complete with food, crew, fuel, a working space age life… raft/…thing, and a pet vampragon in the mail

I’d have to say the most amazing thing I’ve gotten in the mail is a pair of doves.
Once every year, I receive a box full of old electronic components. These come in very useful, as I repair old radios, but WHO KEEPS SENDING ME THEM?

I think there’s probably some replacement Biff parts in the box (one of his heads or something)

umm the strangest thing i got was a jonh wayne 44. black powder buffalow pistol
Two days ago, I got an empty box.
The gift I’d ordered had fallen out in transit.
It was a Charlie Brown moment.
Speaking of other comics, I just have to mention this one now:
http://xkcd.com/576/
also this:
http://xkcd.com/325/
for me it would be a windows ME (millennium edition) computer.
