I mailed a PBS package on Monday, March 2. I handed it directly to the mail carrier when she pulled up to my workplace. Nonetheless, two days later, both PBS and USPS say the post office is still waiting for the package.

Occasionally, a package will take lonegr than expected to be scanned, but not usually this long (and not usually when I hand it directly to a human). Has something changed in the way packages are scanned, or should I contact the post office to see what's going on?

  I even went to the USPS Tracking site and nothing....I even sent a note to the receipient letting them know that it was sent but?????finally after 6 days on the road I found that it had indeed been delivered....I think this was a USPS screw up and not the fault of the group that works with PBS and SwapaDVD when using Printable Postage...kinda lrft me on the limb for near a week!

Recommend that you hang tight for a week (give or take).See if it shows up at the destination.
