Undelivered parcel

We had been waiting for a parcel to be delivered to our remote address in the far north of Caithness. We wanted it for Christmas but it never arrived. On Jan 5th this year I had a doctor's appointment and was the only person in the waiting room when a man emerged from the dispensary and asked me to confirm my name. I did and he said 'well then I have a parcel for you' I was rather taken aback by this as I had never seen this man before and he said 'the lady behind the counter told me who you were and where you lived but I have no idea how to get there! It turned out he was a replacement for our usual courier whom was on holiday for the Xmas period and this was his first time in the area! I said without this chance meeting I doubt you would have found us before midday! My doctor was astounded when I related the story.
