Royal mail "missed you" card - but not my surname!

Got home at lunchtime to find a RM card - with a surname completely different to mine!!! Correct first name (which is shortened version of my name, which I use for comping) and correct address, but totally different surname!! (confused smiley!)
Cant go collect now until Monday, but am wondering what to do if they ask for id??!!
Am guessing it *might* be a koala, as I see that they are now being sent out, so perhaps my surname ended up on someone elses koala, iyswim??!!
The name is a very very unusual one, dont know whether to post it to see if its someone here, maybe our koalas got muddled up :rotfl:

agreed. postie had to knock on door with mine and by the looks of it everyones second name has got messed up, will be a struggle for you to get it if you have to pick it up as obv you wont have id for specified name on parcel, only hope is to get redelivery!My poor 15 yr old daughter broke her wrist i 5:eek: places tonight poor little mite was screaming in agony, all casted temp now and fingers crossed no surgery needed to fix.
get well soon honey .0 -
oooh thanks guys, so might be something exciting then!! The card didnt say signed for though, just "too big for letterbox", so maybe they wont ask for id!!
Fingers crossed!!0 -
