I am missing a month of mail!
I moved out of my San Francisco apartment on Januarty 15th, 2009.
Between January 15th and February 12th, I did not have access to my mailbox at 495 Frederick St., Apt #4 in San Francisco. I didn't set up mail forwarding because I hadn't found a a new apartment yet, so I went online to set up two week-long mail holds for my mail. I think this was in vain because I could not make it to San Francisco to pick up my mail, so I assumed my mail went back to the mailbox at 495 Frederick St., Apt #4.
I finally made it to the Haight street post office yesterday, which services my 495 Frederick Street apartment. I wrote down my address and they looked and said they had nothing for me.
Currently, my mail is being forwarded to the Berkeley downtown post office using a service called "general delivery". Everything from February 12th and onward has been correctly routing to me. I walk to the downtown Berkeley post office, hand them my ID card, and collect mail sent to my 495 Frederick address. It works well.
But regardless, I am missing a month of mail which includes unemployment checks and insurance payments! My old landlord says that there is no new resident to my old SF apartment, and that the mail box is empty. The San Francisco post office has nothing for me, and the Berkeley post office only has my fresh mail but no old mail.
So where is my month of mail?
