Post Office Props

I finally got that package from Amazon.com yesterday.

Of course, this was after I had emailed the USPS on Wednesday, basically saying, "where the hell is my package?" I'm still not thrilled about the length of time it took to get to me, but I am pleased with the official response to my inquiry, received earlier today:

Recently you requested personal assistance from the United States
Postal Service. Please see below for our response.


Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.

I placed an order with Amazon.com on March 6. My package was shipped from NJ on March 7. It's been sitting somewhere in Brooklyn since March 8. Any chance you can find my package?

Kenna,

Thank you for visiting our web site regarding information on the item 9102 ABCD 118S 6188 0000 45. The item was delivered at 8:18 am on March 17, 2005 in YOUR CITY. I regret the length of time it took for your item to arrive.

Parcel Post mail has an operating standard of two to nine postal business days, but is not guaranteed. Delivery confirmation information includes information about the date and time of delivery or attempted delivery will be displayed. It may (but is not required to) include the date and time of when item was picked up or accepted for shipment. It does not include tracking of the package enroute.

If I can be of assistance to you in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for using the United States Postal Service.
