My husband sold a musical instrument several months ago to
a man in another state. They made a deal and the man put a
certified check in the mail. My husband was confident the
man was honest, and made a plywood case to cover the instrument case, packed it carefully and sent it off. The
man called, he had received it. But our check did not come.
He sent us copies of the papers showing he had sent it via
priority mail. Fast forward...he called every day to see
if it came, and ended up sending us another check by putting
it in a small box and sending via UPS. Yeah, we got it in
2 days. The original check showed up over two months later.
No more priority for us.
