It was sent parcel post to me. Believe me the post office knows me now. They were nice about it a but could not do anything. I talked to them just about amonth prior because a Big box from Joann's with a 20 1/2 inch ruler never did arrive and JoAnn's and Myself and the main Post Office in the US had a three way phone converstation. Joann's reversed the charges and then sent me a new order. I don't know what ever happen to the first one. Bad News. I thought there was a theif at my PO. This is like the lost socks. What ever happens to them. Jdiane318 is a gem to deal with. She felt so bad and had nothing to do with the package that came from Springfield to the West by donkey. 16 days it took.
