How on earth did it end up in France?

How on earth did it end up in France?

who knows ????
i checked my world map and France has not moved down under
on the tracking it is addressed to me here in Wanganui East -i assume the french postal service will send it on its way
on a Tuesday and Friday my friend the NZ post courier takes me home after we collect the mail from the postal agency in the grocery shop 10 steps from work, we collect mail from one box at the bottom of the hill, then go to meet the truck to Palmerston north at the local depo
everything is scanned in but i do see how weird things might happen, still a lot of humans envolved in delivery the mail
it all goes into big cages i assume by destination and also courier or regular post, international , south island, north island etc, then goes to Plamerston north to be sorted again, im not sure where they fly the air mail post from, maybe wellington ?? and if you are driving at night on the highway you see so many big NZ post trucks
one day someone had dumped a McDonalds icecream in the post box and it had messed all over the mail, it was the next day delivery mail, my friend wiped each envolope (and the inside of the box) down with some wet wipes, but it had to go dry in her boss' office till at least the next day where they sent it all out in plastic bags with damaged stickers on - some of it was mail from the laywers office by the post box so you just hope its not urgent

maybe my little parcel ended up in the wrong sorting cage ???
it would be nice to see France in late spring

Yeah it probably just got misdirected. A short detour hopefully!

i kinda hops it arrives so i can ask it about its stop over in France

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i was going to wear my jet and rose quartz necklace today ...
but it wasn't Wednesday

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

so i desided to bit the bullet and buy the torquise
but the shipping was as expensive as the stones
so i went with these

$15 NZ shipping from the US
so half the shipping price of the other strand
i got two strands so i can pick out the best to alternate with the fascated jet

It was very nice in France this last week. But about two weeks ago it was very warm, and on 3 May we had hail!
After the initial scare it took ages to melt, On the bright side, it looked as if the grass was covered with moonstones and diamonds.
Sending you my photos of nice days and one of hail.

I wonder if your beads will arrive with tiny berets and baguettes.

I tell you it bloody better
I'm waiting for my bus to work but I just looked at etsy as I turned off my laptop and it said my orderr had arrived
I did check my letter box on the way diwn the drive and all I had was a cummity newspaper so we didn't move to to France overnight
I think I'll just ask for my money back
If it turns up I can always pay them again
I don't know why I have so much trouble with this particular stone
....maybe because I'm a cheap skate

It again said delivered and again was not there? Poor thing... how does this keep happening? I'm so sorry! I'm wondering if you may have a porch (mailbox) pirate nearby? But you live in such a lovely area, so maybe not.

our letterbox is deep and is locked, its very hard to fish the mail out with out the key (ive tried) also our front door opens into our living room where Gary and Fluffy are on high alert
although the front porch is vissible from the street you can not see the door mat

actually we kind of live on the wrong side of the tracks but only by one street
also we dont live in France



and the message before

Ohhhhh I didn't realize it was in France to be DELIVERED! I thought the package was just misdirected and still on its way. Oh that's so disappointing. The seller has to be using the wrong address! Even the post office could not make a blunder that big. Please ask him for a copy of the label so you can see the address.

I understand! As long as you get your money back if it doesn't arrive. I'm afraid this seller may be playing games.

thankfully we are not talking much money
if they turn up and some are passable i might use them at the catch end of my planned pearl and malachite heart necklace -ive actually been wearing the heart necklace quite a bit as if that bump on the back of my head leaks blood etc its on a black cord not white pearls

the nest malachite i got was from that French guy selling the 'italian' lamair
i like to think im learning but its a slow process with me

this gives me great hope for the Whitby jet that must be in the royal vault
we just need someone to wear it

Yes, I agree. Things like that shouldn't just sit hidden away in a vault.

this is here and it looks really nice
i think it will make the jet really pop
will post a picture on my day off

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

The colour is a very pleasant light blue

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Oh dear
Back to the drawing board
Or maybe the piggy bank needs fattening
I just feel my jet has been around too long to be strung with a dyed fake tourquize
Thank you @stracci2000 who set me straight on the turquoise thread
Your help and expertise is very much approached. I should have asked you first
Never mind . Nice Xmas decorations
