Candle arrived safe, no complaint about the candle. But the shredded packing paper is clearly old invoices. I can read “net 30” on one strip and “14 cases of” on another. Is this a privacy issue?

My candle arrived wrapped in someone else’s invoices??

Hi Desmond, this is Lise. I pack every box. Thank you for telling me, and I’m sorry for the surprise.
Our packing paper is the shop’s own paper waste, shredded here. Those strips are Hale & Wick’s invoices for wax and glass from 2019, cross-cut to 4 mm. You received about a fortieth of one. No one’s personal information is in it. It is us buying soy wax.
“14 cases of” is soy flakes. I’m sure, because I remember the delivery. It was a Tuesday.

Posting accounts are issued in person at the counter at 628 Vallejo Street, Tuesday through Saturday, 11 to 6, on a laminated card with your username written in pencil. Bring a username in mind, or Teodora will suggest one. She is right about eighty percent of the time.

Nothing else recent here. It’s been a quiet board, which we take as a good sign.
