MAIL! and Laundry

Son-in-law Scott mailed a box of Priority (2 day) Mail at the Post Office in LaConner, Washington the afternoon of October 28th. The tracking record says that it went from there at 5:06 and arrived and was processed at the Origin USPS Sort Facility in Kent, Washington at 11:09 PM. Next the record shows it was processed through the USPS Sort Facility in Phoenix, Arizona at 11:01 PM the evening of October 29th.

On October 30th (no time noted) it departed the USPS Sort Facility. At 7:49 AM it arrived at the Post Office in Scottsdale, Arizona? And was noted as "Sorting Complete" at 8:43 AM. By 8:44 AM, it was "Out for Delivery" The next notation at 5:34 PM stated "Undeliverable as Addressed!"

On October 31st (this is now four days after it was mailed), the note at 2:00 PM says "Processed through USPS Sort  Facility" again in Phoenix, Arizona.

By this time (on Nov. 1st), we were concerned that it hadn't arrived and Daughter Mary Mae followed up with the local post office who informed her it was being "returned to the sender..."

The next notation on the Tracking Info says -- in bold print -- November 1, 2013, 11:17 AM Delivered at Fort McDowell, AZ 85263, but it was not here at the office. (The mail usually arrives between noon and one, so it probably didn't get on the truck...)

This morning, MM called and said she had looked at the USPS Tracking Site again and it now said the package had been delivered. This noon, when Forry went over to the office to check, there it was! Somewhat battered and travel-worn, but here. Now we should be able to get our ballots in the mail on Monday and won't miss the election.

Sorting the mail and doing the laundry kept me happily occupied the rest of the afternoon while Forry was watching football games.
