Package update

One of my packages finally made it to it's destination! Woo hoo! It only took two months to get there! I mailed it two weeks before his birthday, so it arrived 6 weeks afterwards. Sigh. It give me hope though that the other three packages that were sent afterwards should be shortly arriving at their locations. 8 weeks for an advertised 7-10 business day shipping is outrageous.

Speaking of outrageous - my student loan people decided I don't live here anymore. That, or the USPS did. They've been sending my bills here no problem for almost two years, and all of a sudden my mail was returned as undeliverable. So what do they do? Send a nasty gram to my parents. And revert my address back to my Tampa address - that hasn't been good for three years!! The lady even confirmed that the address I gave her on the phone is the same one that's in the computer.

Either they screwed up and sent it USPS national mail (Sears did that for months - they couldn't seem to understand a person living outside of the States - even their customer service reps asked me what State Germany was in! sigh), or the USPS is in the middle of changing contractors again for international mail. It happened three years ago & it took a package my Mom mailed me about 3 months to reach me. Unbelievable!
