That's happened to me too, one time that I remember.

1st time for everything I guess, funny thing is the seller refunded the price, it was not much because it got lost so he basically just cancelled the order
Guess I have some free goods coming I was not even expecting......

As a former postal worker I can tell you...it is easy to loose a package when your dealing with a billion piece of mail at a time.

The place is Fd up an I'm not going to tell you why. But it has something to do with unqualified floor supervisors.

Kind of related--I mailed a post card from Belfast, N. Ireland to WA and didn't put USA on the address. Took three months to get it.

No it had a recipient, street address, city, state and zip code--just no USA. I realized my mistake or I wouldn't have made this post. You're right. It is lucky that it made it at all.

Conversely I mailed a letter to a Kiwi friend of mine named Halfoot Simpson.

It was addressed, Halfoot Simpson, The Bridge, Karamea, New Zealand.

And it made it!

it has a lot to do with the middle managers.....those are were all the people are who could not carry a route end up telling everyone they are not doing their jobs...

Same here, at least once. Nobody seem to know anything or have any explanation.

I once sold a Korean War US military compass to a buyer in the UK. The compass had radium in the luminous paint on the dial, and it set off a radiation detector when it went through UK Customs.

The compass was confiscated, I got a nasty letter from the US Postal Inspector, and they forwarded the letter to US Homeland Security

You weren't mailing it to Alexander Litvinenko, were you?

No, I think he was rather fond of polonium-210, not radium.

I was once supposed to get this package from Eugene Oregon. It got lost. It was a long time before I could track it down. When I did, I was told I had to travel 50 miles to get it. I said I am not doing that. After some back and forth, the USPS send me the package. Turns out it was a big box of plastics spoons. It was not even for me. I just kept them and am still using them.

i dont buy that story....if they had the address they would send it to you....

What don't you buy? Have you seen the mail delivery lately? A bunch of part-timers with no uniforms. They even use their own cars.

I got THREE of these part-timers on the phone. They gave me bad info because they are not even trained. On top of that, I live in the sticks. They did not want to take their personal cars up steep inclines and gravel roads.
