MY HYPOTHESIS—

Today’s standard of excellence is mediocrity.

And, today's award for incompetence goes to the US Postal Service.  

A package I have been expecting from Alabama appeared in the USPS system June 28th and I was alerted by email "Electronic Shipping Info Received"; whatever that means.

Then silence--and obviously no package.

Counting Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of June as well as the 1st, 2nd and 5th of July as work days, that's five of them that have gone by.

Today I launched a search for my label / receipt number and discovered my package was processed through a sort facility in Warrendale, PA on the 3rd and it arrived in Orrville, OH on the 5th., where it was recognized as "Missent".

I wish I knew who to call.  I would have the Orrville postal joint simply hold my package in "will call" and I would go get it.

And, this is their "Priority Mail" service.

I shudder to think what may happen next.
