i left positive feedback for
hey_jp a few days ago, because my plugs hadn't arrived in over a month, and she kindly refunded my money. but guess what! today the plugs i initially bought from her came! and they were postmarked 15 Dec 2007, so they were really in transit for a month.
what happened? the package was addressed to the wrong zip code. so, it got sent to Santa Monica, rather than San Francisco. and the post office must've tried to find my city and address within the zip code that was provided, but they couldn't. they figured out the correct zip code and wrote it on the package, and it finally got here. i doubt they were required to...there's probably a vault full of mis-addressed packages that no one cares to try and fix.
moral of the story: double check the zip code you write down. i wouldn't doubt that this is one reason packages get 'lost' in the mail.
still positive feedback for
hey_jp. she sent the plugs when she said she did, and they are great. typos happen :P
