Don't they have codes on them that show they have been picked up or delivered? I am sure that it will all be okay once you have contacted those concerned. It may have just been separated from the others. It may be that she just didn't feel like looking. Connecting Threads sell to a lot of people and I don't think they would allow you to be cheated.
It is too bad that your Post office isn't polite. In our small rural area I think they would lose their job if they acted like this. There are too many people unemployed to assume any job is safe.
If I don't want to go to the post office I can just put money in the mailbox with what I want mailed and they will leave a receipt with the change the next day. I don't know that that would be okay in many areas. If the box won't fit in my large mailbox the mail carrier will stop and put it at my back door. She is really good. Some things are nice about being rural.

If you paid by credit card, that company may help you out. I just got reimbursed for something purchased from Amazon.com Tracking no. said it was delivered by USPS to my address, but where it was delivered to - who knows!

Anyway, I did not go back to post office but will tomorrow. I hope the third box just got separated as I will have to eat the other two if they go missing as I paid for the whole order. Let it be a lesson maybe. Will let you all know tomorrow how it turns out. Our post master is very snippy. Sometimes known as the Witch with a "B".
