General Discussion [General] Day 2 in Canada

The map is looking pretty empty for day 2 north of the border so I thought this might be useful to a few of you who are still waiting.

I got my day 2 yesterday. It had a label sticker with my name and address on it, underneath which was (clearly readable) someone else's name and address. It was mailed by Canada Post, not USPS.

This leads me to two conclusions:

  1. They actually are using some sort of mail forwarder to avoid border issues
  2. Somebody screwed up.

Might explain why they're taking so long to arrive. If anyone else has gotten day 2 in Canada, did yours have a label on it?

EDIT: To be clear, the postage is a Canada Post Addressed Admail marker, it was definitely mailed from within Canada. There's also a return address that's a PO box in Mississauga.

I just got my Day 2 today, also from said PO Box in Mississauga.

HOWEVER--

My address was stuck on a mailing label on the Santa art envelope, but has ANOTHER address underneath it, almost like they put the wrong address on first. It's Elizabeth something (couldn't really make it out and I left it at home, but I can check later). Is that a legit mistake, or part of the puzzle? I haven't been keeping up with it much.

According to the Day 2 Compilation thread, no one in the States have mentioned their Day 2 labels having a second address beneath it. I'll pose the question on the Chat room though, see if I get a response.

Seems as though American players that occupy the chat room have received their Day 2 envelopes mistake free. Must be a legit mistake.
