Strange comment from USPS lady today

[DisMan]

Maybe they know of the brewing war between North Korea and the USA that will result in all China imports being banned.

If a customs agent doesn't show up at your door and you don't receive a seizure letter, i wouldn't loose any sleep.

People are odd..........say odd things.......your carrier is not exempt of this rule.

Wish you the best.

no telling what the carrier meant, but I'd guess she meant well.

[HELIOS]

She must like you...

If it was shipped from China using EMS--when it gets the US and passes customs--it then gets picked up by USPS Overnignt Express Mail. In many areas, there is a postal carrier assigned only to deliver Express Mail as it is guranteed to be delivered by either noon or 3 pm.

Now the ones from China have no guarantee--they are placed with all the other ones in your area. Just ask the carrier if they are assigned to deliver all the Express mails for the day. That is why you have two different carriers---------Sun

Sometimes I get two different carriers sometimes not, but then again I am on a walking route so who knows who my mail carrier is on some days. Either way, they have tried to deliver at least twice during the day. I usually miss the first one (before Noon) but am usually home to get the second one (before three). I sign the card when I get it and leave at the mailbox just in case I was to miss the second delivery attempt.

Here's something odd... my order from RuyanDirect came today. My fiance was home to accept it, but the carrier told her that I had to sign for it and left the pink card. Now I have to go to the post office on Monday to pick it up. Two more days of waiting... *sigh*.

On a positive note: came through New York, and tracking doesn't list it being handed over to customs at all...

That is strange, my wife has signed for mine many times.

[TheIllustratedMan]

Well, he checked "registered mail" on the card, so that could be why... still annoyed.

Maybe he was new.

[dopple]

technically you cant sign for your spouse... unless they have given you power of attorney

She must like you...

The last time she came she asked me if that was a Janty Stick in your pocket or you just glad to seem!
