Christmas Gift through LBC: The Most Special Gift I Received

Finally, I received my gift. It was actually Dec 23 when he went to LBC to send it but it came 5 days late. He was keeping everything confidential, so I was clueless of what really has happened. I'm not sure if he was able to come before the cutoff of around 3:25pm.

So far, what I knew is that he felt his privacy invaded by the time the crew opened his gift to me. Not yet experience it here. The crew there said it would arrive in time but the experience was like sending trough snail mail.

Dec. 25

I found the LBC closed.

Dec. 27

I was wondering why the package is not yet delivered. I went to check the website and entered the bar code as the tracking number. No result found though. A not so effective tracking system.

I tried tracking through SMS. I received a reply “RECEIVED AT --- DELIVERY HUB” from 2910. Yet, the package still wasn't delivered this day.

Dec. 28

The day I received the package. Finally for I'm too busy to go to the LBC this day to ask. It’s around 10.20am when I got it. This is the first time I personally experience receiving a package. I signed the receipt and the other paper bearing the list of receivers. I said, "Why just now?” He said that it was only delivered around 6. I wonder if he meant 6 in the morning.

Lesson learned?

-Ask crew whether they’ll have vacation in certain days

-Better send Christmas gift on 22 than 23

Cards and T-shirt to LBC

I don't know why I'm blogging this. Maybe I just wanted to include some things I did this year since it still goes along with the purpose of this blog. Or maybe I want to have a way to express my useless ranting.

So I sent a card and t-shirt for my partner. A present to remind him I remembered. I need to rush things and went for LBC instead of snail mail. Inside a card is a key chain I bought in a Christian Store. Funny when you will recognize that the cost of freight is more expensive than the price of card and keychain combined. It costs around 160php while my thingy costs only around 50php. Haha.

I went bugging again with questions. Buti na lang wala yung guy na staff. I’m afraid I’ll get offended by asking questions with him. Luckily, it was a girl this time. She looks busy to be disturbed with questions though, but I keep on. I was just asking if where would they place the mug if that’s something I want to send. Unfortunately, she said that they don’t accept breakable things. I’m doomed. How about the mug I’m planning to give to boyfie?

I also asked what if I will send a big documents, like for example the size of x-ray. She showed me the plastic bag that would be used if it fits there. But I’m not sure for I don’t have the document with me that time. But what if it doesn’t fit there? She said something that sounds like “day 1” and pointed some packages. I didn’t understand what she’s trying to let me grasp though. But she said there’s a way… But I don’t know the price of that alternative.

Plan:

I’ll try 2Go next time. Rumors are that it’s cheaper.

Another Story

I was a bit embarrassed. Well, it’s only a keychain and card but he was very glad and that made me shy. I just wish I was able to see his expression. He said he appreciated it. Nakakakileg daw... >_<
