I just bought some polystyrene insulation to do up my garage, by mail

I got a friend's kid a Playmobil farm set for Christmas that came in a
huge box. The driver probably was nervous given some of the stuff I get
but it was mostly air. It even fooled me. I was home and met him at the
truck trying to remember what I'd ordered that was that big. Even out of
the huge overpack the box was bigger than I'd anticipated but I have
zero experience with toys for a 3 year old since I was one.

The driver was "nervous"?


Perhaps suspicious would be closer. He's delivered anything from
motorcycle tires to tow bars so any very large box with my name on it
should be approached with caution.
