rattler21 posted:We had a PRB 4-6-4 supposedly delivered to our front door by the USPS. I saw the postman walk across our lawn and went out our front door - no box, only mail in envelopes. The USPS computer showed it was delivered a few minutes later which is about the time it takes from our home to the delivery person's truck. Talking to the postal officials was fruitless, they stood by the data put into the computer. John in Lansing, ILL
Had the same problem with a 3rd Rail PRR P5 that I bought on ebay from a Cali dealer. Got an email saying the box was delivered. When I checked, nothing. No box or camera image, but the mail was in the mailbox. I filed a case with the Postal Inspector Genernal Office, but never got any positive response. To really add insult to injury, I see an ad on ebay about 2 weeks later for a similiar engine using the original ads listing and the sellers location is a town about 40 miles away. When I reported this, I was told that since I didn't have posession, I couldn't indentify it as mine, in other words "forgetaboutit". From now on anything of value that I receive via USPS is with signature required.
