Max W Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yesterday, I received an IRS audit report that was mailed, first class, on June 6 from zip code 94903 to 95747, both in CA. It had a Japanese meter stamp from Hayama, Japan, 670 yen, dated June 29. Handwritten below the address window was "USA". It also had a blue "Air Mail" stamped on the envelope. I assume that was applied here. This is the second time something like this has happened. Last year, it was a client's large envelope that went the same route. There may be a problem with the bar code strip, or the code reader. Those strips are applied by the sender (IRS). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 I sent a birthday card, years ago, from central MA to south-eastern MA. About a hour or hour and a quarter's drive away, about a week before the day in question. The card arrived nearly a month late, postmarked Schenectady NY, with boot-prints on the envelope. We still chuckle about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 off topic a little bit - frustrating as all get out... My brother has custody of his granddaughter. She is the cutest thing. My wife made a dress and a skirt/top for her 2 weeks ago and shipped USPS box. Was supposed to arrive on Monday. Got there on Thursday minus the skirt/top. Why would someone do that?

Lee B Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Decades ago after 4 years in the Army, I worked at the Eugene Postal Sectional Processing Center for several years before I decided to go back to college. Even back then in the 1970s theft by postal employees was a problem. Employee theft has been one of the primary focus of Postal Inspectors for a long long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Because there are thieves, and they don't give the bleep. Sometimes I hate people in general. My sympathies to your wife for her stolen efforts and fabrics, and your niece for not getting something made for her with love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
