I am always happy to help in trying to figure out missing packages that are marked DELIVERED.
* Mail carriers will sometimes hide your package behind a potted plant or furniture on your porch to avoid theft.

Help me to help you- by providing an email address that you check frequently- for this Etsy purchase. I understand the need to limit junk emails, but occasionally, I need to make contact to clarify an important detail. If I can't reach you, or if you don't reply, I am left with few options:
1. Assume your missing charm choice is the one shown in the first listing photo.
2. Try to guess what a missing word might be.
3. Assume that the unusual spacing in your message is as you intended it.
My point... I really want your Message in a Bottle gift to be perfect, and EXACTLY the way you want it. Personalized gifts sometimes require a (quick and painless) verification to ensure accuracy. I appreciate your help and understanding.
Many thanks!
