[Elecraft] OT: shipper from H

[Don Sanders]

Even when you move and give all the needed documentation for forwarding
the USPS screws up. I've had three items returned as undeliverable and
yesterday
was notified by Amazon that my item was delivered and held by the post
office for
7 days and to arrange for pickup.
Upon contacting the PO by phone They checked the tracking number and
informed
me they delivered it to the former address the previous day. My wife
checked our
mail box and, guess?, YUP it was in our PO box not the former address.
And the PO wants a price increase for their Obvious(?) great service.
