Couriers.....

I ordered a set of Dunbar bagpipes and the UPS driver left it out in the middle of our driveway (A shared dirt driveway that is about 500 yards long) in the snow. He was afraid of the nighbour's dog so he just tossed it out. It was in a white box so whoever would have come up the driveway would have never seen it because by the time I found it, it had a couple inches of snow on it. My dog was the one that enlightened me to the arrival of the box by making it her first sniff-stop when I let her outside.

Luckily it was in a hard leather case which was in a sealed plastic bag so the water didn't hurt it, although the letter or whatever it was (probably a list of box contents) from the place we bought it from was a soggy wet and illegible grey mess.

We have a post office box but a lot of companies won't deliver to them.
