Today I was supposed to get my package directly delivered to my door and I paid for this extra service, due to the fact i could not get my package from the place it was sent. I paid the 25 shekels and have the receipt from Israel Post and the day of delivery scheduled, but the package did not arrive as planned in the early. I was home all day long and there also is a lobby with 24//7 service downstairs where I reside.
