USPS

so my mom mailed out two boxes, of equal size, to the relatives up north on saturday the 17th. both went out 2 day priority, with the promise that they'd be there by friday at the latest. i used UPS and mailed mine out on monday the 19th. one of her boxes and my UPS one both arrived on tuesday the 20th. as of 4 p.m. on friday the 23rd her other box still hasn't arrived. my mom's a nervous wreck, there's only one day left for it to get there and it doesn't look good. when she called the post office, after we looked online at the box's status, the clerk informed her..."well, i looked around, it's not here."

nice.

the united states postal "service", ruining christmas from coast to coast.
