I just had kind of a large box shipped from the US and im a little worried Im not going to get it. My mailbox is obviously tiny and I dont want it sent back if someone comes to my door and Im not here. Does anyone know what my chances are of actually getting it? |

I was a bit worried about that myself - there's a long discussion in the Job forum (I think) - as I'd been waiting ages for a package from Canada. Happily, though late, it arrived.
Some say you've got about a 50% chance of receiving your package if you've got a foreign name, others recommend getting things sent to your school. As for the tiny mailbox thing, on Thursday I checked my mail to find a note (in Korean, of course) taped to my box. I took it to the security guy and he gave me my package. No worries. I think you'll be fine. |

don't worry - they will find you - I've lived here several years, have had things shipped several times a year - this past year I've moved numerous times (!!) and always received my packages
even when I was staying at a hotel and ups was trying to deliver there and I just moved into an apt - they hung onto the package several days until I was able to contact them and accept delivery
just be patient, maybe 2-3 wks for a box - |
