The post office staff was kind enough to send the author a text message to notify him of the arrival. But when the author showed up to the post office this morning to pick up the parcel, he was shown the box (which appears to have arrived in one piece and without much external visual damage) but was told that he cannot take the box home just yet. "Please come back maybe sometime between next Monday and Friday. We need to send the package over to the Revenue Authority for examination first," the postal staff said.
