I had a package go missing once. It was my first non-clone Mech, the Kato Hammer. It was shipped from Michigan to Ohio and ended up out for delivery in Rhode Island. I did end up getting it, albeit a couple days late, but I had a bad case of the cold sweats until it was in my hands as my personal mail lady is not a lady at all but a wretched viper. She has skipped deliveries because she didn't feel like it at which point I have to call the Post Office and they make her backtrack to my house. I get the wrong mail at least once a month, one time she left my packages in a snowbank on the side of the road in a white trashbag, and once on a big ticket item from amazon she delivered it to the wrong house miles away from my own. My mail lady actually blamed me a missing delivery because it was my name on the package and not my husband's name, this is my legal address and has been for years. Of course as we had this discussion the package was in her car the whole time and I made her find it. Now when I order anything I just use my husband's name, a lot easier than dealing with a mail woman who just can't seem to understand that addresses are a thing now.
I feel for you, hopefully your vapemail story will have a happy outcome
