I bought a sealed lead acid 12aH battery recently. Can't remember exactly
how it was delivered but delivered it was. Also can't remember what it
said on the outside but it's not normal to spell out the contents on a
package as it would be an open invitation to thieves AKA hard working
postal staff.

True that,

I heard that the 'latest' thing for dodgy *******s working in the sorting
offices is to have a sheet of self adhesive labels with either their name
and address, or a friends printed on them, any packages they sort that
look to be worth something they stick one of their labels over the real
address and sort it as normal...
a day later it's delivered to their house as if that was where it was
supposed to go.
