post office
I had a "we called and you were out" card from the postie, so traipsed down to the central post office with it to collect whatever it was. They could NOT find my package despite two people digging through piles and piles of undelivered mail. I had to leave (hospital appointment) but they promised to phone me later with news of further searching. A very apologetic chap phoned and basically said they had turned the place upside down but couldn't couldn't find anything and din't know what to suggest. I agreed that perhaps whoever had sent a 'signed for' item would be expecting a response and would check up on it.

Then I found a reminder on my computer, to go to the local post office and collect the item, as I had arranged on the website. I picked up the item, easy as pie, but am too embarrassed to apologise to the central sorting office. I'll probably do something worse tomorrow.

You probably should
You definitely won't be the first person to have done this, and then they'll feel better that they haven't done anything wrong.
