This is worrying...

I ordered some stuff from Amazon and another company, and hadn't received it, so I went to the USPS tracking site to check. Both packages had the notation that they were "undeliverable as addressed," which is a matter of some concern since I haven't to my knowledge changed my address. One might be a mistake on the part of the shipper, but two? I also note that I haven't received any mail since the day after I got back.

I just called USPS to try and figure out what's going on.

No idea what things are like in the US, but "undeliverable as addressed" here can mean quite a few things:

* The person doing the delivery couldn't read (or count)
* You don't answer the door the instant they (fail to) ring the bell
* You were out and they couldn't be bothered to try again
* It's more than three steps from the van to your door

Usually it's courier firms rather than the Mail that fall short, but just before Xmas I had three seperate DVDs go missing in the post. Good luck tracking your missing packages down.

Sounds about right.

Most of the postal workers are great. But maybe once every year or year and a half, when we've had a sub on the route, I get a panicked phone call from a friend or relative saying "I didn't know you had moved!"
