Oh, that explains it! My father was in the business of selling, installing and servicing wood-buring appliances and I remember their beauty was only exceeded by their weight.
And on an unrelated note, I know now just as I did then that the rate of 'lost' parcels I was experiencing with Small Packet was far far too high to be considered legitimate. A short time afterwards, there was mention in the local news that police here had arrested a mail carrier who had been hoarding things due to mental health issues. There are several variables that could have come into play when one considers all the reasons that 'I Didn't Get This' for me stopped on untracked mail. I credit putting those boxes directly into the hands of Canada Post agents as the main one, however. That barcode was another. I had a loooong talk with a supervisor at Canada Post about this in the few brief months between it appearing and the corporation's decision to STOP honouring claims on them.
