We got this at my office in the mail…YESTERDAY!! Their new slogan: “When you absolutely need your package to arrive in a year and half!”
Really? Really, really??? The meter wasn’t just miss set? Holy cow! Sure hope it wasn’t food!!
Nope. We had to have the company re-send us these items back when. It was a bit of confusion for a while because we did not order any of these items recently. The staff figured it out pretty quickly though.
Every company makes mistakes. At least the USPS did the only thing they could to make it right. Some would have swept it under the rug and not given you anything.
Mail man delivered it like all the other mail. Nothing said. BUT at least it did get here. And the items are still sellable.
If it’s fruit cake don’t worry. That stuff has an indefinite shelf life. :lol:
Actually it might make it better. Certainly couldn’t make it any worse.
It would be interesting to know where your package had been for the past year and a half.
It’s easy to credit the post office for loosing your mail, but I suppose it’s also possible that someone could have actually stolen it from them (or from your incoming mail) and just now returned it.
I’m not sticking up for the USPS, but I would like to say that we have the best mail man that a person could ever want here at our home in PA. Although we normally get our mail in a mailbox at the end of our driveway, whenever there is a package that’s too large for the mailbox, he trudges all the way down the drive, rings the doorbell and waits a reasonable time until someone answers the door. I think he did this 4 times this week, and he always has a smile, and takes a moment or two to talk to me or my wife.
He certainly beats the UPS delivery guy who walks through the mud or snow that’s in our front lawn this time or year, then tracks it all over our front porch, rings the doorbell and high tails it for his truck before anyone can get to the door and give him hell for the mess he’s made. (I talked to his supervisor once, when he plowed his way across my freshly tilled, raked and seeded lawn, and was told he’s not suppposed to walk across lawns, but nothing changed.)
Yep, gotta agree!
Are you neighbors with Gigmaster? He has some horror stories about his local post office. I can’t wait to hear him chime in here.
If any of you Grinchs get a fruitcake, PM me and I will send you my address. My mom used to make a fruitcake every Christmas and my college roomie aunt would pour him one every Christmas, it helped us sleep good at night.
