Sorry to bang on about my issues (no, I'm not really) but there has been a new twist.
Turns out eBay lady didn't lie to me.
I went up town on the bus to get Grandad's fish n chips. As the bus passed the botto mof our path there was a Royal Mail van and a chap getting out of it with a package exactly the same size and shape as I expected mine to be. "Oh shoot," I said - now trained to school standards.

Got home to find a card through the door - unable to deliver, needs signature.

But there's a happy ending.
A return ticket is the same price as an all-day ticket.
Usually I decline the offer because I'm only intending to take one journey.
Today - for no reason I can explain - I said, "Oh, go on then."
So in fact I can go by bus to the sorting office and back. No extra walking tomorrow. And I'll be well prepared for the baking session Thursday afternoon.

Gutted that I missed accepting delivery by about 7 minutes.
Pleased I've got it sorted, and can leave good feedback.
