Well, the USPS does it again....I ordered a "Motorola" sticker label for the top of the case on my HT 1250. The refurb kit I bought did not come with the top label. I found a place that had 1 left and ordered it. The USPS lost the envelope. It made it to my local post office, it was scanned "out for delivery" and somehow nobody knows what happened to it after that.

I thought I was the only one who had that happen.
Yes, it does point to the USPS as the source from the problem, but my (limited) research pointed to another source.
If you're buying something on-line, be wary of just who your seller is.
My package was from a "seller" in the Midwest somewhere (so the website said); the package was first scanned, however, in Queens, NYC (which is where Kennedy Airport is). It went through a few other scans...at least one additional one in Queens...then over to NJ, a couple of stops there, then to my home post office in NJ (but never "out for delivery").
From there it went back to Queens.
I was suspicious as to why an article supposedly sent from the Midwest was initially mailed from Queens, and with all the subsequent stops.
About a week later, the real package was delivered to me, a package which didn't have a tracking number.
I came to the conclusion that (a) the seller wasn't in the Midwest, and, (b) he wasn't in Queens either. The first package, I believe, was a "dummy" package sent from Queens to a false address, where it bounced around, eventually being "returned to sender." And when the real package got off the plane at Kennedy Airport from "overseas" (think: CCRs), it was mailed to me via regular mail with no tracking number.
When I put the info above on the 'Review' of the sender, he sent me an email begging me to take it down; no threats, just "please take it down," with an offer of "$5 off" my next purchase (the email had some grammatical errors in it also). The seller never argued the point about my implication that the product was never in the U.S., but came from, quite possibly, China. The "dummy' package was used to show, falsely, that my purchase was "on the way," when it wasn't, and any delay (as the scanning showed) was the Post Office's fault.
So, just because the "seller" says their in "East Cupcake, Illinois," doesn't mean they actually are.
