AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....

This is driving me crazy. I made a necklace for "someone"

and I mailed it out two fridays ago. she hasn't received it yet....

I put my return address on it but it hasnt' come back to me either.

What is taking so long... I hope it didn't get "lost" in the mail.

I have no problems making another necklace and sending it out (UPS this time) but I want to know what the heck is going on.... arggggg

It shouldn't be taking this long should it?

It happens occasionally... I think the rule for insured mail is 6 weeks or so before you can claim it?? Maybe it fell on the floor at a sorting plant and will show up soon. I think it is rare for things to actually get lost.
I know when I lived in Japan I'd be SHOCKED if something *only* took 2 weeks

LOL they aren't even that far away lol I am in PA they are in NY. It would only have taken us a few hours to drive it there LOL we should have done that. I am getting impatient and nervous. I feel bad because they already paid for the necklace and now I am getting paranoid that it's not gonna show up lol

I said "NEXT time.... we are getting a tracking number... PERIOD"

Oh I've had several items actually stolen, one just recentlly from a pet talker here. I am disgusted with the USPS and I will do everything possible to never use them.

One more question and I mean absolutely NO disrespect to your hubby

Are you 100% sure it made it to the mailman? Last year sometime I was SURE that I had turned in some movies that we had rented... until I found them a week later in the glovebox of the car

Hopefully it will arrive soon

weell...... what can i say...... I´m used to things getting 4-5 weeks to get delivered.....

....... (just as an example) some of the christmas cards I sent back in December haven´t been received yet......and we are in March!!.....

it may also depend on where you sent them to I guess.........
