What a bunch of pikers!
A little over two years ago we sent a USPS package to our son in China. It arrived there just about the time China decided to refuse all packages with origins outside of China so it was returned. We received an update that the package had returned to O'Hare airport. We waited - no package. We put in a request for a trace. They found it - in Israel! OK, no problem we asked for a return. We were told it was on its way back. We waited - no package. Again a request for a trace - it was in Tanzania but it was on its way back. More waiting - another request for a trace - package not found. This past June our postman rings our doorbell and presents us with a USPS package that looked like the FedEx package in the Tom Hanks movie Castaway.
We open the box - everything we sent was still inside and intact. The front of the box had the most unbelievable collection of rubber stamps, taped on rejection notices, scribbling in two or three different languages, and other ephemera you have ever seen. I made it a point to carefully cut the front off of the box and save it. My wife and I are thinking about sending our son another package but we're a bit uneasy.
