Anyone from Illinois?

Hi Dave, after reading it and how it was WRITTEN emphasizing "COLUMBIA" gives me the impression that maybe the address was written wrong. I get letters with bad addresses but I know who they go to so the letters get delivered. I know from personal experience sending things internationally (in my case to and from South America, namely BRAZIL) has been a bad experience (personally and financially). Often times items are opened for inspection to make certain the items described are actually the items in the package. I'm speculating... this is an amnesty case? The last time I read anything about South Africa the government was taking back the land from white farmers...

As far as the Post Office is concerned I'm honestly at a loss. I can say from personal experience that since we have this Postmaster General De Joy, our service was and is horribly damaged because of the changes he instituted. There is collusion/corruption between the agencies. The Postal Service was always apolitical. And we know how the previous administration felt about what they considered "3rd world countries" as "sh$thole countries".. I can't think of anything to be of benefit. You used the word cruel. Cruelty is the point.

The tracking says that it's still in transit to its destination so now it's considered "lost". I've lost registered items while they were in Brazilian customs but never here in the states.

I'm at a loss with this. Sorry I can't help more at least at this moment.

Hi Dave, after reading it and how it was WRITTEN emphasizing "COLUMBIA" gives me the impression that maybe the address was written wrong.

The address was written to "city of Washington, District of Columbia". This form is still used by Congress and the DoJ and USPS, with the Attorney General and US Treasury plus the customs officials in Miami and apparently Columbia too for not sending it back, decided to read that wrongly. Treasury of the United States at the top, and the ZIP code would have prevailed and it would never been misconstrued by so many people consistently - especially as Registered Mail. Since I have been using Registered Mail because of the careful security and reliability for decades I feel this is a proper assessment.

We are in a metaphysic of corruption.
