Recently used USPS to mail ( insured and declared) a brand new computer. It took less than 2 weeks.

I just know it will get there. I just sent first class and it is declared. Not insurerd. I know sometimes it fast (heck I did fedex overnight that took 10 days to get to me there).

But I have sent a box this small and it got their fine.

Maybe one day my letters will show up here or there. Thanks Nigerorbust.

I used priority mail, however, it is not good enough. You have to send it certified mail in order for it to be trackable past the US and to be insured.....This is what I was told my the USPS officer.....

Yep, that's the part that burns my behind too...the stealing! My brother-in-law told his fiance today that they just received the package I sent to them over two years ago (before my first visit!)

Holy Mother of Jesus...I asked her, did they have to watch the movies first and use the webcam before passing it forward? Maybe the box was not large enough and got lost! Who knows!

Did you use Priority Mail where the package has to be signed for and has a tracking number? I do hope it shows up very soon!

The part of this that sucks for me, is during Easter vacation, my wallet was stolen with the original receipt and customs receipt from USPS....so I had no way to even file a claim, I knew the number, but they still refused to do anything without the original receipt.....

OMG are u kidding me. Wow now that is something.

Okay everyone here is something the post office gave me today. Like who knew all this here it goes (typing on a phone)

Okay nope still nothing. The post office told him to keep checking with them. Goodness makes me nervous to send this I-130 packet to him. Why they have to make everything so dang hard.

It will be a test for sure, I would be a little nervous. I am sure the post office is cheaper than UPS or Fedex. It cost $100.00 to send a few pieces of paper back when we filed. I can imagine what it cost now.

Well happy to report the package made it to Port Harcourt. The funny thing is my husband had left Port Harcourt too go back to Lagos and they say he has to sign for it but they will be holding it for him so he will travel back and get it. Phew I am thrilled. My baby needs that phone. Happy joy joy dance.

Excellent, the crucial thing now is for nothing to be missing.

On a side note, I've had a set of tires mailed from Texas to New York that took 3 months, instead of the 3 days by UPS.

These things happen sometimes.
