Timelies all!
I occasionally have personal packages delivered to me at work, and have never gotten reprimanded for it.(and i work for the federal government.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Offices that don't like employees getting packages delivered should suck it up. It's a small thing that makes life easier for said employees, making them, in turn, happier workers.

It's a Your Tax Dollars At Work thing. Ideally we don't spend your money on personal luxuries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think if JPL doesn't want packages delivered, JPL wins. I'd imagine the cost of the delivery to JPL itself would be rather steep, when security is taken into consideration.
At my company? Whatev.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I just feel like I shouldn't ask the receptionists to deal with my personal crap, you know? But then I live in a small enough city that going to the post office/FedEx office/whatever to pick a package up is easy to do.

Hey, it's even more expensive if they do the job badly, all told.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That's the idea. With 5000 people getting personal packages, there's an issue.
However, the receiving department knows I'm a good soul and things happen. They just asked me to come pick it up instead of delivering it, and thought it a nice thing I got 'em.
And it made my whole rotten crappy day so much nicer. so much.
