JList just shipped my statuette of Eris. But they used Japan Post. I had thought I had specified something like Fedex.

See, the problem is that it'll be delivered by USPS. And USPS doesn't think I live here. It's a long story but here's the short version: a long time ago I got sick and stopped picking up my mail. The delivery guy decided I didn't live here any more and stopped delivering mail to me.

To get it turned on again, I'd have to go to the post office. But I don't know where it is, and I don't have a car, and fact is, I don't miss it. USPS didn't deliver anything I cared about. Except for my rent, all my bills get autopaid by my bank. My brother's home is my legal address and anything important goes there. And I pay my rent by hand, walking up to the office of the apartment complex.

So for five years or so, I haven't received any mail. And there's no real incentive to do anything about that.

What will USPS do when the box from Japan shows up? What I hope is that they'll try to deliver it to my door. What I fear is that they'll bounce it back to Japan.

Dammit, I was careless and didn't look closely enough at the shipping choices.

I wonder if anyone else still has that statuette and if it's too late to order another one?

UPDATE: CDJapan had it, but it was preorder only.
