Sample dialogue

I would like to send this parcel to Osaka.

What are the contents? Anything fragile?

Yes, there are plates inside.

Then I will put a "fragile" sticker on it for you.

Also, apparently a parcel came to my place yesterday, but I was out.

Do you have the slip? Without the number there is no way for us to look it up.

It seems to have come just as I went out — the slip is at home.

In that case you will need to request redelivery before the day is out.
