as a follow up to see if you have found out any info on the post office about the package.. I still haven’t recieved anything. What day exactly between Christmas and New Years was the package shipped and how was it shipped? US Postal Air? Ground Ship? Even with it being sent out the first of the year, it has a possible 10 shipping days.. I just recieved a package sent on the 8th of January from the States today.. which was only 4 shipping days..
And so she emails back again…
Yes. Some helpful soul down at the Post Office decided that the custom tag
was not right, and pulled the box, but didn’t put a notice in our box. The
box is on the way and may arrive despite the efforts of the assorted post
offices.
I’m sorry.. what is this MAY arrive bullshit? FYI about customs tags.. those are checked thoroughly by postal officials before they are even put in the bin to be mailed out. IF the tag was incorrect.. it would not have gotten as far as over the counter.. much less put in a bin and “checked later”. Once a package is received by a counter postal worker, checked, stamped and placed in the bin.. it’s pretty much out of their hands till the next stage of delievery.. if it had gone THAT far.. with an incorrect postal/customs tag.. it would have been returned directly to sender…. Not just cooled it’s heels in some PO back room waiting for the sender to come investigate WHY a package that was placed in shipment 10 days after it was ordered.. was still not delivered.
So.. this “post office check” that she was supposed to have done and discovered was by her own words of her email Weds night was “I’ll check tomorrow”.. So I’m assuming that it got on it’s way by Friday Jan 10.. which means it should arrive no later than the 20th..that would work even if it went out yesterday the 13th.. it’s roughly 8-9 shipping days.
