"Bzzz!" the intercom buzzed.
I was astonished for a few milliseconds, rushed to the door, picked up the intercom, pushed the unlock button while answering, "Hello?"
"Sean?" he asked.
"Yes, coming." I rushed out the door.
I had been expecting a parcel delivery today but I did not expect the parcel would be delivered.
I ordered a cast iron skillet online because I did not want to carry the heavy skillet myself from the store. The checkout process was simple, and the website kept me up-to-dated with tracking information. But I was worried when I saw the parcel would be delivered by Australia Post.
I had received many parcels from small chargers up to a rowing machine delivered to my door. However, I had never received any parcels delivered by Australia Post when the item cannot be tucked into mailbox. Even I had been home for 24 hours 7 days during this pandemic, I just got a Sorry We Missed You card in mailbox. Australia Post always claimed they "attempted to deliver", but I had never heard they "attempted to buzz" the intercom.
I was excited to see the delivery guy handing over the parcel. I was puzzled when I took the parcel. It was too light for a cast iron skillet.
I was surprised when I opened the package. It's a gift my friends sent me. I thought they would send to a parcel locker.
"Ding!" I was not surprised after a few minutes later when I received a notification email, "Sorry We Missed You..."
