I came home today to find a thin yellow bubble envelope from Amazon on my stoop. I was intrigued. I had bought a used book from Amazon, and I was amazed that it had been delivered so quickly. Then I realized that something was wrong. The envelope was too thin and too light. It didn't seem to have anything at all. "This is strange," I thought to myself. "Did the book fall out?" I checked the package, it had been indeed sealed. "Perhaps someone forgot to slip the book inside before they shipped it..." I mused, realizing that scenario was unlikely. Bemused, I opened the package, and found a sealed Amazon envelope of the sort that carries gift cards.

"This is strange," my inner monologue continued. "If they didn't have the book I ordered in stock, why didn't they just refund my credit card?"

Then I saw the lovely note that amrc1025 sent included in the package. It had been so long since the gift rematching, I had forgotten about my secret santa. But, my faith in humanity is restored, and my faith in the USPS has sunk to even lower depths. Thank you so much, awesome redditor, for signing up to regift, and I am sorry the thing you sent originally was lost. :( And thanks for the gift card, I will indeed put it to good use!

Smiles and karma, fp
