On Valentine’s Day, Mail Services was crowded with romance-inspired gifts, but the mail room is generally brimming with packages waiting to be delivered, said Alice Liput, a Mail Services employee.

Liput said that FedEx arrived at 8:35 a.m. on Valentine’s Day with 17 boxes of flowers. Around 10 a.m., UPS arrived with even more containers of flowers as well as packages containing candies and chocolate-covered strawberries.

Several independent deliveries were made as well, including a large monkey balloon with a stuffed monkey, a chocolate bar and additional balloons.
