    Been waiting for some t-shirts to be delivered the last few days and finally got that postal slip in the door this morning(even though I was there but thats another rant :mad:)
    Anyway, picked up the parcel expecting the t-shirts but instead it was a bottle of perfume from a web hosting company Ive been using for about 4/5 months now:confused:

    Anybody else ever receive weird things they weren't expecting?

    I ordered a cat woman costume and received a knock off iPhone

    My item was signed for by a Mr, G Gonzalez in Texas. I'd say he looked spiffing as Cat Woman.

    Yeah, I ordered a flashlight from DealExtreme and received an order to pay the duty on it instead, which was actually more than what the flashlight cost.. I didn't pay

    Worked in the US a few years back. Got a parcel in the post one day and came down with a nasty dose of anthrax.

    A friend in the US asked me to send him some Irish cakes as he was starting up a bakery over there. I did, a big box of them,cost me a bloody fortune too. Anyways,about a month later mr posty arrives at the door with a box of mould and tells me the US don't allow food stuffs into the country,then he asked me for money. How we laughed
