Until recently, parcels from Temu would be delivered to my house; almost
always the sum of an order is sufficient to warrant such service, although
it may be that they constantly raise the sum. A few days ago, I received
notification that a parcel had arrived and was available for collection at a
shop in the local shopping mall. Yesterday I received another notification
and this morning I was even 'reprimanded' that I hadn't collected the parcel
(I've been very busy this week and was not even at home for a couple of
days). In all of these messages, it is written that the parcel is at this
shop.
Today, despite the 34°C heat, I set off for this shop. In recognition of
the heat, I drove in our car and not on my motorbike - less exposure to the
sun. The girl in the shop searched and searched but could not find my parcel,
despite the various notices. I idlly checked the website of the actual
delivery company and discovered that the parcel was probably waiting in a
shop in the old commercial centre of Bet Shemesh, close to our
butcher.
So I drove up to the centre and started walking around the area where the
shop should be. As no shop displays its number (i.e. address), I had to
recognise the shop by its name. I walked around a wide area but could not
find it. As I needed to have my eyes tested (my eyesight has improved
somewhat and I reckon that I no longer need to wear glasses when driving), I
stopped at the optometrist who is next door to the butcher. He tested my
eyes and found that indeed my long distance sight has improved - apparently
I have the beginning of a cataract. After completing the business there, I
asked him where this shop is - he laughed and said that it's only a few
doors away. The shop itself is tucked away in an alcove and I've never been
there before.
To cut a long story short, I collected my parcel. There is another parcel
on its way and this time I'll check the delivery service's website to see
where they have deposited it.
