Holy crap, what were they trying to do, age it for you? Maybe they just needed their friends to sniff the box?

Looks like Ellen DeGeneres! ??
I can't beleive it's real - seems to be rejected and sent back to customs. Anyway, my packages that I've been sending to neighboring states have been delayed for days - USPS is starting to look a bit old a tired.
Any update on the Zoom meeting to open these things? Seeing some folks open them upon arrival. Just curious.
I’m waiting until Christmas once I get it, but will probably not Zoom if it’s Christmas.
Well, after seeing that, my wife is gonna be really happy when she sees me having a beer with breakfast. I’ll point her in your direction.
According to the "trusty" tracking number - My recipients package is out for delivery right now.
Ho Ho Ho ?

Well, I almost messed up!
We’ve ordered a lot of stuff lately - I mean a lot. The holidays, quarantine, my impulsive buying habits, etc.
Usually the postman brings packages right up to the front door and it’s not unusual to get 5-6 a day. I grabbed the mail from the box yesterday and carried it inside not thinking anything about it.
To be fair, I wasn’t entirely sure what it was, given that it was in a small box and the box said ebay on it. I didn’t think twice and cut into it thinking perhaps it was an estate pipe or some fishing lures, a lithium battery for a fish finder, a replacement stem, fishing rod guides, replacement dogs for some old 120 conibears I have, another Case pocket knife or fountain pen, some 3 1/4” 30* framing nails, a used lot of 50 CD’s, a heated bird water bath, and a half dozen rolls of 1/4” masking tape - you know - the things I’ve ordered in the last 4-5 days.
As light made its way through the slowly opening crack as I pulled back the flap of the lid, I saw a bundle of pipe cleaners. I quick slammed the flap back down, wrapped 14 wraps of packing tape around it, threw it on my roof, and said fifty Hail Mary’s for my sin. I wanted to keep my box intact in case we did a Zoom meeting, so as long as it doesn’t get buried in snow up there, I should be able to refrain from opening it between now and then.
Whoever sent it to me - know ye this, it has arrived safely and the only two threats to it, at this point, are lack of will power and arson.
Thanks!

Sounds like you got off easy. Well if a box can make its way up to Alaska safely, that gives hope to the rest who havent received theirs yet.
Yea was gonna say some our fathers would have been called for had he seen a corner of the tin
