But it does prove that one can always find something positive if they bother to look, even in the darkest moments ;) :)

Very true!! :)

Someone somewhere was watching over me because I hadn't been reading the forum for some time. I don't remember what brought me here right before the deeming but something did and I'm glad it did.

The 4 Pico's I ordered from FT were delivered yesterday. Problem...................they were not delivered to me. :-x

Tracking showed them being delivered at 7:47PM. MY mail was delivered at 8:10PM.

I'll be at the Post Office this morning (when they open) to let them know. I doubt there's anything they can (or will) do but it's worth a shot. I think my only hope is that they were delivered to someone honest who will bring them to me.

That happened to me and got my package 2 months later. They delivered to a house that no one lived at and the package went through the door mail slot. They will be able to find where your package was delivered and get it for you I'm sure. Whoever has it should know that to open a piece of mail not intended for them if a federal offense.

Oh crap! I've had that happen before, but with UPS. Thankfully it went to my neighbors, who brought it over when they realized it wasn't theirs. I hope it shows up!

I've had it happen before with regular mail. If it's a "next door" neighbor, I'll get it. Beyond that, there are a lot of rentals (college kids) in the area so I'm probably out of luck.

Fortunately, I did have another package delivered (a freebee that I'd sent off for) that was also tracked. Just printed out the tracking info on it (delivered at 8:03PM) so I have at least some proof to show that the FT order was delivered "somewhere" 16 minutes before my mail was delivered.

    I sure hope you get the package. I am on a training route for USPS, they do unbelievable stuff. Once I was tracking a package, said out for delivery but when mail carrier came with the mail, no package. I told her it said out for delivery and she just rolled her eyes and said she would go look in the truck. 4 1/2 hours later she brought the package lol. Must have been a big truck.

    I used to have a problem with mail being stolen from my box until I put up a locking mail box (mounted on a steel plate, welded to a steel pole and set in concrete). I also have a small patio storage box on the porch labeled FEDX, UPS, USPS, etc. (for things that don't fit in the mail box). If the driver puts the package in the box, it's usually still there when I get home. If not, it could be (and has been) taken.

    I have heard this to happen around Christmas time when people have packages left off on porches and by mailboxes. It's a shame that people do that. Can't the PO offer some type of written notice as proof that your package was delivered, but not to you as something you could use for a refund? Hopefully your package will get to you.

    Our regular mail person is really good about not scanning until right before she puts something in our box. If I'm home when she delivers, I will have the package in hand before the system updates as delivered, as there is always a delay from scan to it getting updated online.

    I have always appreciated that.

    They can figure out what carrier and where they were at that time on The route so they could track it down.

    I think what they sometimes do is to scan a whole bunch of packages "delivered" before they actually deliver them. I have had some scan as delivered and then I don't get them until the next day (after a phone call to the P.O.).
    Only PO box packages are to be scanned delivered when they arrive to post office, carrier route packages only scanned when delivered to actual address.

    I actually talked to the carrier (he's not my regular carrier) before I checked the tracking. (From my house he makes a loop and drives back by within a few minutes.) Pretty much got a logically sounding run around. Said that it was probably put on the wrong truck by mistake. Yea right. o_O

    Pretty sure it was delivered to a house on the street behind me. I've gotten their mail before and have taken it to them. Never had them bring me any they received by mistake and after meeting them, I don't expect to.

    I do hope to resolve this but if not, it's not worth the mental and emotional damage (to me) to get upset over it. This too shall pass, and I'll order more (and hope for a different carrier next time ;))

    What happened?

    My brother's girlfriend has a tendency to drop her vape gear. This is the one she has been using the longest that only recently got a silicone sleeve. One set of threads is completely shot and the other won't tighten fully anymore. I am going to try some jb weld and a strip of tape then put it in a sleeve.

    The sleeve it was in is too stretched out now (from her put it over another pico that already had a sleeve) to work anymore so I need to order a 12 pack from FT.

    Get her some Stickum for chrissakes
