I envision this thread as a "safe space" to discuss the weird, wonderful, and downright nasty things that get delivered to our front doors...
I was once involved in a "collaborative blog" where we had an "in the post" tag where we could brag or show off our latest mail order purchases
but I always felt that was constrictive, it only shone light upon the positive aspects of mail delivery
over the years I have received many items posted through my letterbox, some by the postal service, and some which were "hand delivered", and I'm sure other people have as well
I've had court summonses, rare records, rare books, letters threatening eviction , letters from private detective agencies pretending to take an interest in the whereabouts of my neighbours because they're due a large cash sum ( lies, they just wanted me to grass them up, but I know the rules of the playground ), rare records, court summonses, rare records, threats from a psycho ex, more court summonses, etc.,
I'll kick this off with recollections of the notes the guy who used to live downstairs posted through my letterbox, this was the guy who destroyed the aesthetic of my front door by peppering it with axe strokes at seven in the morning, in fact he dented the letterbox to such an extent that I had to have it replaced...
- unfortunately I don't have copies anymore because I made a complaint and gave the evidence to the landlord, but the gist of the green ink notes he forced through my letterbox were:
STOP BURNING MY PENIS
OR I WILL KILL YOU
DIE! DIE! DIE!
( he had a whole fantasy going on about how I was using a computer to fry his penis and how I was sending the results of my "experiments" to the professors at the "university" - apparently he went to our landlord and demonstrated how evil I was by dumping the contents of a carrier bag full of his gas bills on to their desk )
what the most interesting / frightening post that has been pushed through your letterbox?
edit:
a long time ago, employing my considerable IT skills, I once helped a friend mock up some notepaper of a "research institution" which he then used to order masses of ampoules of injectable ketalar ™️ "for "experiments on mice" and as a token of gratitude he "boiled down" and posted a couple of grams of powdered ketamine through my letterbox on the very day that my parents were visiting and, just as I was letting them in I luckily spotted the wrap on the floor, and positioned my feet over it , and sneakily retrieved and hid the drugs without them noticing...
edit:
I can't upload a photo because it'd reveal my bank sort code, etc., but I treasure the cheque I once received from British Telecom which was made out to the amount of £6.66, obviously I never cashed that one in
