where was it for 2 days? and was it lucky it showed up again? then yours being in limbo for 4 days now does not inspire confidence! :(

Believe it or not, there is no black hole into which disgruntled Postal employees routinely throw items. Not meeting service standards happens with a small but significant number of pieces of mail. It seems like you lump late delivery in with non-delivery, and there is no reason to do that.

we'll see! but i do have my fingers crossed!
That may also help explain the delay. Some Postal employees cannot resist the impulse to watch someone trying to perform everyday activities with crossed fingers, and therefore hold up on processing a piece of mail for which they know someone is suffering thusly.

Even though it's a completed nannerfest, there are still new things to learn in this thread!

bells will steadfastly deny any such occurrence! :D
Nope, won't deny. The Post Office, just like UPS and FedEx, consider a piece of mail to be delivered "on time" if it's scanned as delivered.

The "delivered" scan doesn't assure that it was delivered to the correct address, just that it was delivered somewhere.

Yes...I supposedly had a package "delivered" on the 7th. I didn't receive it. The USPS has been "investigating" since.... :blink:
If it was me, Stone, I'd call my local Post Office and ask if there was a package being held there for me. It's not impossible that an inexperienced or absent-minded employee scanned "delivered" when they meant to scan "attempted-- notice left" (even though a notice was not left).

I'd always heard that disgruntled Postal employees went Postal and perforated the walls and their fellow employees with a lotta 9mm black holes.
Postal management hasn't escaped the 18th Century, which doesn't help. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the half million or so employees do their best to remain gruntled.
