It's not just packages!!!! Iordered some patterns from someone on the board (in Arizona) back in June. I sent her a check. She never received it. I sent her a replacement and just learned a few days ago that she did not get it either. When I get home (from visiting my DD in Iowa), I will check with my post office and see if they can find out what happened. I may send the next one with "delivery confirmation" on it.
