It sucks to lose trust in something that's always been reliable for me, but today that has happened.
The United States Postal Service was to deliver a package to my house about two weeks ago, valued as several hundred dollars. I didn't have control over shipping options, other than a "2-3 Business Day" shipping. The package set off on a Tuesday, "arrived" on Friday. Thing is, I was home for mail delivery that day, so I rushed to the mailbox for my "present" -- and it wasn't there.
But something else was, and it wasn't mine. Our carrier had mis-delivered our mail, with a package addressed to another house in our mailbox. Thus, it seems that the carrier scanned my package for delivery, then mixed it up with another, similar package and gave me the wrong one.
After making phone calls for the last few days, it has been resolved to this: my package is lost, and the post office can do nothing about it. With the tracking information showing "delivered," USPS is off the hook, meaning it can be narrowed to our delivery carrier screwing up... and I'm out several hundred dollars. Very disappointing.
UPS / FedEx for me from now on.
B3 out.
