Where do we live? Don’t ask the post office - they haven’t a clue. We have had trouble before when we wandered back to our house in West Des Moines in the spring and tried to stop the forwarding process. Somehow, mail gets lost, gets to us terribly late and, when we ask if we can pick it up, we’re told, ‘no, it’s not here. It’s in the system.’ Well, this time, I ordered a book which really got lost in ‘the system.’
I ordered a book from Amazon in late June along with 2 other items. These two items got to me within a week and I was waiting for only this one. Interestingly I had given Amazon my address here in Altoona where we are staying in our RV and the first two items were shipped here. The book was shipped to our old home address and then began its odyssey. Ironically this book is about the Coast to Coast hike in England which takes about 2 weeks. This book’s hike through our Des Moines postal system has taken longer than the hike across England.
Gary began tracking it for me several days ago and gets e-mail updates automatically. Here is the last e-mail he got and, sure enough, the book did get to us here in Altoona, which is the top posting. But, look at all the stops it made. And, look, they even said it was MISSENT on 7/12. At least they’re honest about their foibles.
