Package stuck at the Salzburg Post

Hi! I was just traveling in Salzburg from the US and mailed myself a box with souvenirs, gifts, and personal items we didn't need anymore at that point in our trip. I didn't know that you can only ship gifts (?!) and that there is a limit on the value, so they returned it to my Airbnb and then the Post Office. I can't get it back unless I authorize someone to pick it up and they reship it to me. It has all of our souvenirs from a long trip to that point so we really want it back. It's nothing valuable or expensive otherwise.

Does anyone know of a service that would do this? I'm happy to pay someone to do this and even ship you a gift from the US in return for the favor. Maybe an expat wants some Diet Coke? Lol

Any ideas? I really hate to lose that stuff.

Thank you!

Any ideas on how to reclaim a package at Austria Post?

I was traveling in Austria with my family a few weeks ago and mailed a package home to myself in the US (souvenirs and personal items we didn't want to carry for the rest of our trip). The package was returned to our Airbnb for some reason (we used this as the sender address) and undeliverable there, so it's stuck at the post office (5020) and about to be sent to Lost and Found.

Do you have any ideas on how I can retrieve it? There is a company called Shippn that will supposedly do this for you, but I was told that they can't retrieve a package where the sender and receiver are the same ⁉️

Do you know of any other services that would be able to get this package for me in Salzburg and send it to the US again?

My daughter's stuffed animal she got on holiday are in there, and I'm really hoping to get it back somehow. It's nothing valuable.

Thank you!!
