Amazing Adventures of Philatelist Man
Mail delivery has been a little perplexing for our family lately, but today was kind of fun because this package from an Etsy seller was in the trusty (rusty, actually) mailbox today! Aren't those stamps nifty?
Back to our mail issues ... We have had our mail forwarded from our address in Calgary to our address here in St. John's since we moved here nearly thirteen months ago. I had to renew the forwarding service back in December when we found out that we'd be here longer, and the currently service expires on Feb 28th. The problem is that Canada Post started to deliver our mail to our home in Calgary as of last week, according to our home-sitter. What's the deal? I guess I'll be making some calls today. This isn't the first time I've written a grumpy blog entry about Canada Post, either ...
I love fun stamps! We're about to move and I always worry about the mail situation.

As my husband says, philately will get you nowhere. (I don't take him out in public much.)
Mail forwarding seems to be a system (term loosely used) fraught with problems. My in-laws' experience was similar to yours. They snowbird and the mail moves at completely irregular speeds to the entirely wrong destination either too early or too late. I sometimes think it's not worth it.

Oh and I thought it was just our postal service! Aaaack! It can make you go crazy.
I love those stamps. I collect, so these were a nice addition to the collection.
