I was going to post something similar, but decided not to when I decided that maybe he was talking about how a "Ground Advantage" package doesn't cost the same as the identical weight "First class" flat (envelope).

Which makes sense to me, as it requires different handling.

He had said "padded envelope" which is pretty much the same cost as before no matter the size and weight. That's what I was going off of, anyway.

No worries either way.

We had to send documents to the IRS. Sent it PM. Well somebody (not my local office, which is outstanding) decided this package needed a vacation so it went to freaking Puerto Rico.:whatthe: Then it vanished. USPS won't refund a dime because it wasn't overnight and it was only documents. Wound up sending another copy via UPS and they got it in two days.

But the USPS had the stones to send me not one, but two survey requests wanting to know how they did. I don't want any blowback to hit my local office so I'm not filling it out.

A total :jawdrop:

Seeing everyones posts makes me realize I must have PO lady luck on my side. :fourleafclover:

Since 1999 when I started to sell items on eBay USPS has only lost 3 of my packages.

25,000+ delivered items.

1 Priority Mail

1 Media Mail

1 Registered mail

(To be fair it was CGC to me and the missing package case was USPS workers inside job stole a crate of registered mail as it never left the FL Hub.  So technically is was never lost.)

Since 1999, I've had ONE package "lost". And I put Dr. Evil quotations on that since it went to "Status not Updated" and the buyer said they never received it. It's still possible it got there and the buyer took advantage of a tracking error(book for free---BONUS!). Every other time a package was not delivered for some reason it came back to me.

I just sent off a nice Hulk 180 to be graded and tracking shows it went from Portland to Alaska...Alaska??? Alaska is the opposite of Florida! (:

It finally popped up in Florida. It took the scenic route.
