Re: [GSAS-Member] is it me, or is the Postal Service just laughably incompetent

My local PO. has been the most helpful of the bunch - they called the Seattle 
Express Mail office and the folks there looked around, couldn't find the box 
and said "it must be on its way."
 
After that, who knows. It may have left Seattle. Where it went next, who knows.
 
Next time I'll use the airlines like I normally due, knowing that the PO. has a 
fairly high percentage of blundering dunderheads, but also has a monopoly. On 
monday I can file for the insurance on the box - which is less than the value 
of the rare fish inside. I've shipped fish for going on 18 years and this is 
the first box ever lost - usually I use priority mail, sometimes the airport, 
but express mail has worked fine in the past. Oh well.There had to be a first 
time.
