My quilt is not in my possession yet, but should be here Monday. Last month I sent a pinwheel quilt to my cousin in Georgia. She is battling breast cancer. Long story short, the box was delivered to the address I was given, but my cousin no longer lives there.

The post office was not very helpful. I would call and leave a message for someone to call almost every day. I never received a phone call.

As a last resort, I wrote to the "resident" at the address where my package was delivered. The people called me Tuesday night. They did not have the box, but did see it across the hall. They told me the other people had moved out. After doing some investigation, they found a delivery slip from the PO. One that says "you have a package at the PO". My name as the sender was on the slip and my cousins name was the addressee. Today, I finally talked to someone at the PO. My package was there and I requested that they send it back to me! :D :D :D :D :D

dunster 05-05-2011 04:55 PM

I am so happy that your quilt was found and hope your cousin continues to do well. I do not understand why the post office wasn't able to help you though, when they actually had the package, being held for delivery, to the address you told them, with the sender's name and recipient's name. It does not speak well for that post office.

frugalfabrics 05-05-2011 05:24 PM

Wonderful...Hope you can get it to your cousin safely, for her to enjoy.

I wonder 05-05-2011 05:29 PM

Boy, so glad that you didn't give up! Hurray for you!

GreatStarter 05-05-2011 05:34 PM

I am so happy it was finally located.
