aka: How I went on an emotional rollercoaster over some stickers, washi tape and a pen blob 🎢📦✨

You know that feeling when you see the tracking status change to Delivered and your heart skips a beat? 💓 That’s me. Every single time. I rush to the mailbox like a child on their birthday 🎁🥳

So when I got the notification that my TheCoffeeMonsterzCo birthday sale haul had just been delivered, I rushed to the front door—and there was nothing. No box. No padded envelope. Not even a mysterious “we missed you” slip. My parcel was gone. 😢

Vanished.

Like it had been delivered into an alternate universe where I don’t get happy mail… 🕳️

I refreshed the tracking page approximately 73 times 🔄. I checked the front door, the back door, the neighbor’s porch, the building’s parking lot (and it was, like, 9 pm so I was literally stalking the neighborhood in my PJs). Nothing. 😭

But that’s when things got weird…

The delivery confirmation photo didn’t make sense.

The box looked like an Amazon package, and even if it wasn’t, there was a clear label—the kind they put on electronics. 💻

But I hadn’t ordered any electronics; I was waiting for stickers!

So, I contacted the delivery company and they said they’d look into it. 🔍

The next day, the delivery guy himself called me and insisted he left the package on my doorstep and that it couldn’t have vanished. 😤

Then he asked if I had security cameras. (Uh… what? Who even asks that?? 🤨) I said no. So he told me to contact Amazon for a refund.

But when I told him the package WASN’T from Amazon… 😶 Silence.

Finally, I reached out to the TCMC people who were absolutely lovely and very understanding 💕 and told me they’d see what they could do. Meanwhile, I mourned.

Twelve hours later, I got an email from TCMC saying my parcel was yet again out for delivery!! 😲 Like, what?!?!

And then, a few hours later…

It just showed up. 😳📦

No explanation. No note. No interdimensional portal visible. 🕵️‍♀️ Just casually sitting in my mailbox like it hadn’t ghosted me this whole time! 📪

I don’t know exactly what happened. The general consensus seemed to be that there was a massive mix-up with the delivery company, but I don’t care; I got my parcel! And I will never take another delivery for granted again! 🙏💌

So there you go; you’ve just heard the tale of The Parcel That Never Was (but then was) — a stationery soap opera with a happy ending 🎭✨
And yes, the goodies were totally worth the drama. 🎀

(A special shoutout to Sophia at TCMC who was just a gem and answered my 20 emails and even had a backup offer for me in case I never got my parcel. 🥰)
