Rest easy, friends. My socks arrived today with just a slight scolding from the postal service to check postal codes more carefully. Whew. It was a nice surprise since I just went to both postal outlets to double check if it was dropped off there because of the mistake.
On the plus side of one of those trips, I discovered that my cousin's friend's mother, whom I met at my cousin's wedding shower, worked at the postal counter. She recognised me (miraculously!) and we had a wee chat after I incomprehensibly went on about my error with the postal code. She was really nice about the whole thing after she discovered we had met before. I totally didn't remember her until she mentioned her daughter and the shower. I blamed it on overwork, but it's probably my failing memory. (I've been forgetting everything.)
The socks... I must admit I'm a little disappointed with how a couple of them look, as far as size goes, but I'm pretty sure I can shrink the ones that need to be and will just hand wash the ones that I want to keep as-is. I got three pairs of tabi (the big toe is separate from the rest of the toes), two pairs of toe socks (with stripes!), and one pair of knee-high neapolitan stripes. They all fit, more or less, because of the splits in the toes, so that's good. I always knew my toes were puny, but when the toes leave that much room at the end of the separated toes... Puny doesn't even cover it. Embarrassingly short toes. Ridiculously tiny toes. The one pair leaves so much room in the ends I could probably store valuables in them while traveling.
The difficulty now is deciding which ones to wear first.
