Emily vs. USPS, round 1:

"Hey, so, you tried to deliver on Sunday to a closed business, didn't make another delivery attempt, didn't make a delivery attempt after I'd requested redelivery, and it's been incredibly difficult to try to talk to a human being and get this sorted out."

"Have you tried upgrading your web browser?"

Emily vs. USPS, round 2:

"Hey, so, what's going on with this package that got sent out from a NYC address almost a week ago?"

"It was in Long Island City! It was in Jersey City! It was in Brooklyn! It was out for delivery in the COMPLETELY WRONG ZIP CODE WHICH YOU HAVE NOT LIVED IN SINCE 2008."

"And now it is..."

"NOBODY KNOWS."

And round 2 a DAY after round 1.

(The ONLY address ChinaSprout has on file for me is the right address so... I'm going to be curious to see what happened, if I ever do get this package.)

I don't think anybody is ever going to displace FedEx in the deep dark grudgy parts of my heart, but USPS is sure trying.

They could have walked it to you by now.

Getting mail in cities always peeved me. If I ever move back to an urban center, I think having a PO box and having a FedEx/UPS box will be worth my energy for reasons cited above.
