The Joys of Japan Post
Japan could teach the world a thing or two about logistics. Apart from being the country’s largest employer Japan Post is also pretty good at getting things delivered. If you happen to be out when the postman arrives with a parcel you’ll find a little redelivery slip in your letterbox:
Although the automated telephone system is only available in Japanese using it is a breeze. Notice that different parts of the slip are initialled in katakana. All you need to do is follow the steps in order (a, i, u, e, o).
You can choose to have your parcel redelivered in the morning, afternoon, evening or night. The service operates seven days a week as well, which is absolutely bloomin’ marvellous.

i love the fact that if you file the redelivery early enough (like before lunch), they deliver it on the same day!
