#lost mail

[goodgrammaritan]

I ordered a sticker that says "I cry a lot but I am so productive" and it says it was delivered but it is not in the mailbox or on the porch and I'm so disappointed.

Now I'm just "I cry a lot."

Crystal Palace letter arrives more than 100 years late

A letter sent from Bath in February 1916 arrives in south London more than a century late.

This is a bit off topic but slightly less so you find out who received the now 107 year old letter.

A letter written in February 1916 has arrived at a flat in south London more than 100 years later.

The envelope, which has a Bath postmark and a 1d (1p) stamp bearing George V's head, arrived at Finlay Glen's flat on Hamlet Road, Crystal Palace, in 2021.

He said: "We were obviously pretty surprised and mystified as to how it could have been sat around for more than 100 years."

Royal Mail said it remained "uncertain what happened in this instance".

The letter was sent two years before World War One rationing was introduced and King George V had been on the throne for five years.

Future prime ministers Harold Wilson and Sir Edward Heath were both born later that year.

The resident at the flat where the 1916 letter was finally delivered is Finlay Glen, a 27-year-old theatre director.

Finlay happens to be the son of Iain Glen who portrayed Daenerys Targaryen loyalist Ser Jorah Mormont.

Here’s Finlay holding the wayward letter.

A misplaced or greatly delayed communication can make for an interesting plot element.

My regular mail carrier has been out. They have now lost 3 packages in a row. I can't get my money back, I obviously don't have the items. I'm lost and angry and USPS customer service has been no help. What if those packages were medication? I don't know what to do.

I ordered a bunch of books last week and am expecting seven packages. Two are in my hometown and should be delivered tomorrow, one's in Nevada, one's in Pennsylvania, and three are lost in Georgia. They're not technically lost, their location is known, but every single package I get that travels through Austell, Georgia invariably gets lost. This is not hyperbole, I've noticed this pattern since May, a good four or five packages in a row have wound up in Austell and subsequently gone missing, only to be delivered without tracking data weeks later. I think there's something wrong with the facility up there because the tracker doesn't even keep track anymore; it usually gives me a list of every facility the package travels through, in order, dated, "it was in Illinois, then it was in Jacksonville, then Opa Locka, now it's out for delivery," but whenever a package winds up in Austell the tracking data not only stops, but backtracks. It will literally delete previous entries on the list, as if they never happened! "It was in Illinois, then it was in Georgia" becomes "your package is in USPS possession," with no locations or times listed at all! It's like they're gaslighting me by deleting the proof that my package was en route. I've started taking screenshots.

I am so god damn mad and there's nothing I can do about it.

Basically. The post office screwed up the address on a client's commission. I tried to get ahold of them, but they refuse to talk to senders, so the client had to call.

The client gets back that this is somehow MY FAULT. Ugh. Okay motherfuckers. Addresses aren't even fucking close but whatever.

Anyway. To make a long rant short. Anyone live in the San Diego area that suddenly got a manila envelope package in their PO box? If it's addressed from Lyladagger Arts can you PLEASE return to sender. If you need I will compensate you for the trouble.
