It wasn't Me Mate.
Maybe it is an Aus Post stuff up.
Or another SS package.

I don't think so Jim ,

The missing secret santa present from several years ago before I was organising it?
Hmmm. That seems pretty unlikely.

[purplepennyhunter]

So no coins just advertising? And you can't read a postmark or date it anyhow? Very strange.

I received an Email from Cotton & Co. yesterday,never had any dealings with them so not sure where they obtained my address.

Smacks of someone playing "silly buggers" but I can't figure out the purpose.

If other, similar mailings turn up then I would advance a theory.

I'm not sure why but reading this made me think about the travelling garden gnome phenomenon.

Leave the gnome out of this Jeff, it wasn't me

:laugh2: .... 10/10 G!

OK, so, the cancellation is applied at the LAST mail centre before delivery, not the first.

And since 546 is BMC, which I'd take to be Brisbane Mail Centre, and given that 521 and 522 are AMC Adelaide and SA respectively, I would put it as BMC Qld.

Which is great for knowing where it went, but not where it came from. Sorry.

Also, wasn't the 4th your birthday? Perhaps a perverse birthday 'gift'?

[JeffH]

Sorry, there are other gnomes and you would not be a silly one I am sure.

[Unicorn]

It certainly has me perplexed as to why someone would send that.

For once I'm at a loss for any sort of reason, silly or otherwise.

Did you ever give out your name & address when you did markets Kel?
