There's no good news to report, I'm afraid, regarding the package I sent to Kansas on January 15. I've heard nothing about it since talking to Rob at the Pittsburg, Kansas post office almost a week ago. The search request has turned up nothing, and after arriving in Chicago, the package has not moved for several days, according to the tracking web page. It's clear the USPS has dropped the ball on this one, so I filed a request for a refund of the shipment costs of $10.45. Within the maze of web pages on the USPS site, it's difficult to do this, so the closest I could come is put in an insurance claim. I didn't claim any value of the contents of the lost package, since it was of low value and I had no documentation of the value of the USB drive I bought over a year ago, and is probably worth only a dollar or two at most. But I really am adamant that I deserve the shipping costs refunded, since the USPS has utterly failed in the one job they had to do. The refund request is "under review" over 24 hours after I filed it. I don't have a lot of hope of a good outcome, but that's my view on everything connected with the US government these days. Disappointment will be the watchword for the next four years, I'm sure.
