Odd Parcel Postal Service · Window Nº 3, second from the ficus
The Complaints & Compliments Window
Both are accepted. Questions, too. The most common are answered below to spare you the queue.
What do I need to use a parcel?
A printer — yours, a friend's, or the corner print shop's — and ordinary paper. Scissors help for the place cards and potion tags. Nothing needs lamination, though the office admires ambition.
Letter or A4?
Both. Every parcel is set for US Letter and prints cleanly on A4 without cropping anything that matters. Choose “fit to page” if your printer is the anxious sort.
Will the séance kit drink all my ink?
It is a gothic parcel; it enjoys ink. If your cartridge is nervous, print the bingo boards and place cards in draft mode — the ceremony survives, and the ghosts have never once complained about contrast.
How does the crossword claim code work?
Buy the parcel and your receipt carries a claim code (Gumroad's paperwork calls it a “license key” — same article, different stamp). Take it to oddparcel.com/crossword, enter it at the postage counter, and Form 15-Across unlocks in full: up to twenty words, no specimen stamp, unlimited reprints. The code never expires.
Can I give a parcel as a gift?
Gladly. The simplest route: buy it yourself and forward the receipt — for the crossword, that's the claim code your person will redeem; better yet, fill in their words first and hand them the finished puzzle. Gumroad's checkout also offers a “give as a gift” option that emails the parcel directly to your recipient.
Something's wrong with my parcel.
Regulation 9 applies: parcels that disappoint are refunded within 14 days, no interrogation — write to post@oddparcel.com. If a file misbehaves or a code won't turn its lock, the same address fixes that too, usually faster.
This office is kept by one postmaster, a number of obliging machines, and a cat whose employment status remains under review. Every letter to post@oddparcel.com is read by a person — me — and answered within two business days, allowing for weather.
