<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4285720, member: 110226&quot;]You&#039;re quite right that it does take time, sometimes a long time, to hear back from the USPS after filing a missing/delayed mail inquiry.&nbsp; Sometimes I never heard back on the final resolution, while other times I did and the item arrived.</p><p><br /></p><p>Customs is usually the snag, but I had one instance, about a year ago, when a package from the UK was misaddressed (wrong zip code).&nbsp; I was watching the tracking going from one city in Missouri to another (the zip code was for a small city in central Missouri).</p><p><br /></p><p>The package had the correct street address and city, state (Cupertino, CA) and yet the package continued on its odyssey, looping back and forth from the main hub in St. Louis to the other Mo city.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I decided to intervene.&nbsp; There&#039;s a list of postmasters available through the USPS website.&nbsp; Looked up the email addresses of the two postmasters in the respective cities. I sent messages to both stating that the zip code is in error and needed to be corrected based on the one I provided.&nbsp; Actually, if anyone took the trouble to look at the address on the package, they would quickly conclude that there isn&#039;t a Cupertino in Missouri (as far as I know, at least).</p><p><br /></p><p>Both Post Masters were very nice and helpful.&nbsp; The zip code was corrected, and the package arrived about a week later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
