I have never had an issue with packages via USPS and they are always my shipper of choice, inbound or outbound. And we get good service from UPS and FedEx as well. However, I have had one USPS “incident” recently. I have a storage locker filled with “stuff.” Every month they send me an invoice for my rent, every month I send them a check. Mid-November I was preparing to send them an advance payment for December (we were going to be out of town all month) and I noticed that I had not paid November. Couldn’t recall any invoice, couldn’t find it. So I just sent them the check for two months and forgot about it. In February I received the November invoice. On the back of the envelope was a cancellation stamp from Kagali, Rwanda. Dated Nov something. And second stamp from Kagali dated sometime in Dec. And a third Kagali cancellation stamp dated sometime in January. So, en route from Bay City MI to Midland MI (approximately 12 miles distance) the invoice travel to Rwanda. Where it either got caught in some sort of loop there in Kagali, or maybe it was sent back and re-sent several times. I am not sure what happened, but I blame aliens. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
