Package Project – Australia

Recently Hook and Matter started shipping our accessories internationally and as the orders started coming in from Japan, Australia, France….  my curiosity grew and grew.  Where were these packages ending up?  How did they look once they got there?  How long did it take for them to arrive?

I started asking clients to take photos of the packages once they arrived.  And, to kickstart the new package project, here’s our first photo!  FYI – they don’t call it a mailbox in Australia, it’s a letterbox!

Destination: Glen Forest, Western Australia

Time in Transit: Less than 1 1/2 weeks – Earth Day, April 22nd – May 2nd
