DON'T GET ME STARTED, Steve.  I am currently fussing with USPS on two identical shipments that I sent by Priority mail to a customer in central Illinois.  In both cases, the item is placed "in transit" from a suburban post office in the St. Louis area and never arrives at its destination.  This melodrama has been going on since early October. The first shipment has been declared lost, so the bigwigs in Atlanta are now in charge of searching for it.  Yeehaw!
