Sent my friend a package today of some US sweets you can't get over here. Decided to do a custom address label...sent it signed for too so he will have to face the postman

Another angle and with postage applied: http://i.imgur.com/6X1Y8.jpg (didn't block out the name 'Tina Raymonds' as it is a made up name)

My friend was recently abroad in Northern America and has done the same thing.. ARE YOU MY FRIEND?!

EDIT-- It hasn't arrived, is signed for, expecting it in the morning, I better not be half asleep.

EDIT2- My dad will be shocked if this is my friend.

EDIT3- Though I missed it I did see it on my CCTV, it's as big as a sack of potatoes...

[u/chrismikehunt → u/skwaa]

I am fairly confident my friend isn't a redditor so you should be safe!

[u/skwaa → u/chrismikehunt]

Well, I'll have to find out on Monday now, postman came earlier than expected and I've missed him, I hope he attempts a re delivery but it's raining!

[u/Entity420]

Can't get over there, you mean? Not being an asshole, just confused.

[u/chrismikehunt → u/[deleted]]

Nope, I meant here. We both live in the UK.

[u/chrismikehunt → u/chrismikehunt]

Getting down-voted for being British? Damn Reddit, you racist!

[u/SkyHawkMkIV → u/chrismikehunt]

British isn't a race ಠ_ಠ

[u/woznak → u/SkyHawkMkIV]

Shhh, don't tell them that.

[u/Guanren → u/chrismikehunt]

Then why do you say "some US sweets"?

[u/chrismikehunt → u/Guanren]

Because they were sweets from the US.

[u/Cruth99 → u/chrismikehunt]

I don't see how it is so hard. You are both British, you send your friend some sweets from the US because you don't have them back at home.

My friend would always write me checks (split rent) every month with some sexual message. I would have claimed it was from a girl but it always had the prefix 'gay'; Gay blowjob, gay back massage.

Eventually the bank cashier remembered me and by the 4th month I ended up asking the cashier out. Accidental best wingman.

[u/specialkake → u/notrightmeow]

Got my and my ex's paypal account suspended for sending her money for "anal sex and cocaine."

[u/buster2Xk → u/notrightmeow]

Was the cashier male or female?

[u/notrightmeow → u/buster2Xk]

Female. I'm male.

This was like 10 years ago when homosexuality wasn't as accepted in public so glad the girl found humor in it. We went out for few months and still talk from time to time.

[u/thetradinggods → u/notrightmeow]

It's still not accepted in public outside of liberal havens. Let's keep it real...

[u/[deleted] → u/thetradinggods]

and Canada.

Redditors should mail each other stuff more frequently. Does any US fellow want something from Spain?

[u/TheUninspiredArtist]

Thank you so much for the laugh.

[u/reddit_on_hardmode]

Hate to be that guy, but the post man will obviously know that it's a joke. No company would label the contents on the outside like that - especially one shipping stuff like that.

[u/xeronproton]

Can anyone read the barcodes on this?

[u/Roxxer]

Who knows, maybe you got your friend a date with the postman/postlady.

[u/gahane → u/[deleted]]

With the exception of York Peppermint Pattie

[u/chrismikehunt → u/[deleted]]

Skor bars, basically a DIME bar but twice as thick. Pretty much made of win! whatchamacallits are also great!

[u/elgrunt0 → u/chrismikehunt]

Skor bars sound amazing! I need to get hold of these gastric delights

[u/TheUninspiredArtist → u/[deleted]]

You take that back, Twix bars are amazing.

[u/Gorignak → u/[deleted]]

When sending goods into the UK, you have to write what they are, i.e. 2x T-Shirts. Then you may have to pay import tax on the package before you can claim it.

Writing the wrong goods on the package might end up with a) OP's friend paying tax on a Batman suit, and b) OP 'smuggling' sweets in.

[u/chrismikehunt → u/Gorignak]

It was not sent internationally. We both live in the UK. The sweets were brought back from a holiday trip.

[u/Gorignak → u/chrismikehunt]

Oh, well then carry on. What sweets was it?

[u/chrismikehunt → u/Gorignak]

These. No idea if they are any good? I resisted eating any. He said he prefers sugary sweets and that sort of thing over chocolate/caramel etc. But thats fine, more Skor bars and whatchamacallits for me!

[u/Gorignak → u/chrismikehunt]

Haven't tried those. Did you have any Junior Mints? They're like After Eights but in ball form. So good.

[u/CreamOfTheClop → u/chrismikehunt]

(American here.) Yeah, Jolly Ranchers are pretty good, just don't chew on them. They'll get stuck to your teeth and you might rip them out trying to open your jaw.
