I use a PO Box to pick up darknet deliveries, and have been doing so for some time now with no difficulties. However, there was a hitch in the most recent delivery: instead of finding a key to one of the post office lockers in my box, I found a note. Here's what it says:
"Please give this notice to a clerk during regular business hours. We are holding some of your mail for the reasons indicated below:
The article is too large for your box"
I don't think it's a love letter, since the seller specifically asked me if I could receive a package of this size in my PO Box; perhaps he's used to this sort of thing. Additionally, the post office checked the "the article is too large" checkbox rather than the "signature required" one. I'm thinking maybe all the lockers were full when the package arrived, but I would love some feedback from you guys. I don't want to do anything stupid.
Edit: Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I went and got the package yesterday without any problems. The strange thing is that it could have fit in any of those lockers. When I asked the clerk, she didn't know why I had to pick it up at the desk. Oh well. At least I didn't have to sign for it.
not sketchy at all, package is just too big to fit in your box. happened to me all the time
