Several weeks ago, I attempted to mail some items to a friend in Virigina. After a few days, the box didn’t arrive, so I checked with the post office.

They said they didn’t know where it was.

Of course, I flipped my clergy lid. If Fed Ex and UPS can track packages to their exact location, even on a specific truck, how can the United States Post Office lose a package and claim that they couldn’t find it?

First, they said the package was in Washington State and that it was being returned. After days and days, I found out that my package was NOT in Washington State, but somewhere else. I just had to wait for it arrive back home.

That lasted more than two weeks. This morning, I received a phone call from the local post office that my package has indeed been found and is currently sitting in a post office in Newark. They said that they would deliver it to me either today or tomorrow.

When I get my package, I will buy a new box and ship it UPS.

The Post Office. The government at its worst.
