Instead, someone in the Brooklyn PO concluded that I hadn't paid the entire postage (I had), returned it. By freak of nature I found this out Friday night because I made an unplanned stop at home. At least I live across the street from a PO that's open all hours. I was FREAKING OUT -- receipt of said package was essential to a) not having DC reject the application because it has to be in their hands within a few calendar days of notarizing, no exceptions; and b) I was expecting a job offer in DC that was continent on my proving in writing that a legitimate application was actually sitting in the Clerk's office.<br /><br />In the end, I got an email from them at 10pm on Monday saying it had been delivered that morning. By that time, I had already starting working on getting a new package together. <br /><br />So all worked out (kind of), though 4 days of ulcer could have been avoided. I agree with you about losing business to FedEx and UPS -- at least there, you're a customer, you can call someone.<br /><br />Oh, and I didn't get the DC job after all -- or, I did, but they "realized" last minute they had to cut the rate by so much that it was insulting. See, this whole thing DOES related to the theme you've got going on! ;)Brandy Wityakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022111861712450412noreply@blogger.com
