  1. Regarding the mysterious packet that I didn't order and is at the customs office: I cannot get it because I lack a confirmation of purchase. So I will never know what exactly was in there. It'll haunt me until death.

    1. @adiwan Can't you just show up with a random reciept from whoever send it ? I mean it is's not like they are actually going to check if there is actually prismatic doomsday ray refactor plating in there.

      1. @drinkingpony I'd like to but without knowing the *exact* contents and a PayPal or Bank receipt (or similar) the customs office employee refused to hand it over. I don't want to commit a crime for cheap electronics and faking a receipt. Also I have to give the exact content description prior to opening the package and I cannot do that.

        1. @adiwan Man post offices in Germany are weird.

          What are they going to do, send it back to China ? Just wait it out :)

        2. @adiwan Orrrr, you could just lie your way into seeing the contents and then getting the right reciept... Or not if you do not think the content is worth it.

          But I know you are not comfortable with that.

          ( Oh, another possibility is that the sender got the adress wrong and you actually do not have a reciept )

          1. @drinkingpony The customs office will send it back. I'd like to know what this random person from Donguang China has sent me. Lying and commit a fraud is not worth my time and the risk.

            1. @adiwan Its not lying and committing fraud if you genuinely thought it was the thing you provide the reciept for.
