[Closed] Oddest thing you've received in the post

namenshame 😆

mrs ton would kill me if I told you.

A quick check of the OP's posting history tells all.

I'm expecting someone buying a Horsethief frame to get a surprise inclusion with their parcel now...

Chap on here sent me some wheels. (Loddrick, maybe).
Into the box his young daughter had supplied a bunch of her bestest artwork. Very sweet (if not quite in the "odd" category)
Made me smile anyway 🙂

Similar but different - when I was at school (around 15 yrs old) a friend had a very pretty girlfriend. She was also a seamstress and made me an 'SPG' teddy bear (SPG being Vivian's hamster in The Young Ones).

However the stitching came loose and the stuffing fell out.

Her old knickers.

😈

Cake. Lots of those brick-shaped gingerbread, fruit loaf, etc. Used as padding around an electric bike battery.

Munched on that for several weeks.

🙂 @ DezB

while at uni we (a house of lads) received a royal dolton (sp?) figure of carmen which included the entire opera on cd. not too shabby as it would have cost well over £200. despite repeated attempts to get them to pick it up thgey didnt, so once we had moved out i gave the figure to my mum and kept the cd as i like the opera

Piece of buttered toast and a pigs head

LOL, not sure I should send it back as 'soiled'.

Was ebay in the end, so, history won't help you.

When I bought my hybrid, it arrived in a nice frame box but "packaged" with about 200 of those little shimano manuals that you get with new bikes, and what was obviously the contents of a bin including a load of empty coke cans. It's not super-odd, it was just the mix of really good packaging and really mad.

Half eaten portion of fish and chips - packaged up and labelled not to be opened till my birthday which was two weeks later - hmm brothers!

i once got a letterbox through the post, i opened it and fell into a wormhole...

large light up moose head

a human skull made into a cookie jar

a small taxidermied tortoise on a little skateboard with a beanie hat (ebay and booze are bad mmmkay)

the strangest for me though, someone once sent me a set of human lungs in formaldehyde in a big bell Jar as they thought it would the sort of thing i might like, this worried me as it made me feel a bit serial killer

My Mrs is a physiotherapist specialising in incontinence and gynaecological physio. We get some odd looking toys in the post every now and then, thankfully in plain packaging 🙂

That looks like a saddle 😯

A bokken (fully sticking through the letter box)

i once bought a pair of jeans from Ebay as they were not sold any longer and they fit me perfectly.

upon receipt of the parcel I opened them up, went to try them on and found a paper wrap in the penny pocket (or whatever you call the small pocket) upon inspection the wrap revealed a small amount of suspect white powder.

I couldn't help laugh at the irony as they were Addict jeans...and for added affect I also emailed the seller to worry the bejesus out of them!...it worked

gynaecological physio

😯

Now I know what they mean by the phrase "the mind boggles"....

Hi, I have a Transition Bandit 29er frame XL in blue for sale, 120mm travel, Fox shock, little use, good condition, [b]a few scuffs[/b] £500
Mail in profile if your interested

😯 no wonder you don't want to touch them.

The ex husband of an ex girlfriend once pissed through my letterbox, not sure if that counts?

Many years ago a friend sent me some floppy disks in a jiffy bag. Further padding was provided by some of the popcorn from the packet that he was eating while he made up the package, as he thought I might like some.

MoreCashThanDash - she rehabilitates (mainly) women after traumatic child birth (think major tears, prolapses etc). Also men after prostate surgery, though that's less common as men are more likely to just suffer in silence.

A mate once sent me a letter, in a Cream (superclub) water bottle, he went to uni in the 'pool in the 2000's of course.

Aside from that no used underwear that I'm aware of!

I wouldn't be bloody silent if she came at me with that thing!

A former work colleague was in the RAF with a guy who liked to shit in an ice cream tub and then send it on to one of his friends. Not the same friend every time of course, they tended to get suspicious after one surprise package. He apparently would leave it on a sunny windowsill for a couple of days before posting.

Were they M&S knickers or British homestore?

Or C&A 😀

I used to live in a little bothy/granny flat extension to a farmhouse in fife. As part of the deal on renting the flat I got the use of an old 16th Century barn as a workshop. In there was a little wren who would keep me company while I worked and every time I moved any tools or materials he'd come down to check whether I'd unearthed any flies or spiders to snack on.

I really liked him and christened him 'Little Ronnie No-Neck'

I was chatting on the phone to my GF one evening and she asked me cryptically 'have you had anything interesting turn up in the post?' --erm 'no'. She wouldn't divulge what it was but after a few calls it was clear whatever it was wasn't going to arrive. So she said she was going to post something out again.

Still nothing arrived.

Chatting on the phone again she asks if anything's turned up - no.

It transpired that what she'd been doing was collecting the flies from the insect-o-cutor in her office - putting them in a jiffy bag addressing them to 'Little Ronnie No-Neck' at my address. The postie clearly wasn't reading the full address and kept delivering them to Ron - my neighbour and landlord.

For some reason Ron thought his children had been posting them - got really mad with them and even more mad that they were denying it so emphatically... then as the dust settled another bag of flies would turn up in the post and it would all kick off again. 🙂

My oddest parcel:
Goldfish, in a cardboard box

This piece of art.

[img] [/img]

An apple, with address and stamp on, no wrapping.

Had a delivery card from RM saying they'd tried to deliver a parcel. Hadn't ordered anything but went to collect the parcel.
Got home and opened it. Contained £17,000 worth of Troll beads that were supposed to go to a jewellery store..

Not for us but our neighbour who was out (a single middle aged woman who was not unnatractive) Postie asked us If we'd pass it on as it wouldn't fit through her letterbox, it was in a jiffy bag which had split & I could see what was inside.
Don't know if it had batteries with it but my imagination was running riot after that.

Had a free tube of silicon delivered ain a cardboard tube, addressed to me but with our company name project cocks instead of locks, postie was most amused.

Death threat from a known (at the time) terrorist organization.

They were going to blow me up, after two weeks I got sick of checking my vehicle at the time.
Plod said they could not do anything unless they carried out the threat which was not encouraging from my point of view TBH. 😕

Couple of weeks back I received a letter from tesco bank telling me that they'd screwed up with the t's and c's on a loan I'd had with them. Plus a cheque for 3 and a half grand.

I was massively hung over so didn't really take it in at the time.

We once received the 17" Slender Bender Double Ender dildo for the previous tenant. Apparently it was a free gift from Love Honey for her being such a loyal customer. I have no idea how much you have to spend to get a £35 dildo as a loyalty gift!!

Hmm nothing more exotic than a bowel cancer screening kit on my 50th birthday

Jonm81: 17"?!

Jonm81: 17"?!

8 and a half inches each.

When I was about 14, a friend's Mum found his stash of jazz mags (was the middle of the summer holidays). He blamed me and as we lived too far away from each other for him to give them back, she made him post them. He warned me and apologised but it did mean nervously waiting for the postman and hoping my parents didn't spot a parcel arriving.

Jonm81: 17"?!

Yep, 17 whole inches. The thing was as long as my forearm.

The lady who it was for worked in the estate agent we rented from. Including this we had loads of bailiffs looking for her. I wanted to go down to the agents and slap it down on her desk saying "Here's you bailiffs notices and you 17" rubber c*ck!" in front of her boss and customers but my wife wouldn't let me.

..doesn't stop you usually. 😀

Too early.... As a student we used to get the sex toy/contacts mags arriving for old tenneants - opening the old mail passed the time, followed by signing up random addresses

Mrs Davesport was having a friendly chat with our postie as I walked past, she chirped there's something for you, what have you ordered ? Not having ordered anything of late I was intrigued. Package about two foot long, flat and wrapped in brown paper. There was suspense as I removed the wrappings to reveal........a brand new razor sharp Brazilian machete. The (female) postie quickly cut the conversation short and left 😀

The moral of the story is, don't shop on ebay when you're drunk 😆

Got a letter and contract detailing arrangements to appear as a celebrity guest of one of Gok Wan's shows. Sadly although although the envelope was addressed to me the contract was made out to Jamelia, so the nation was spared my sartorial advice - otherwise snickers holster trousers held together with spinnaker tape and very, very orange jackets would be all the rage on the high st just now.

I loled at that one.

you should have seen the valentines gifts i used to receive from her 😯
