@matigo There's also a glitch.
@kdfrawg My working assumption is that the notification slip was put in the wrong box.
@kdfrawg You don't normally show ID. You bring the notification slip to the counter, and they sometimes confirm your last name. The thinking is that if you have a slip that was in a locked box, you're the right person.
@kdfrawg I talked to a supervisor, who promised to investigate and call me, but I fully expect it will go nowhere. Glad it was just a $20 watch strap, but I can think of better ways to blow a twenty.
@matigo What probably happened was that the notification slip was put in the wrong box, and they didn't verify identity at the counter. Of course, they'll never admit that.
@matigo It wasn't anything expensive, but it's annoying to get stonewalled. I've always thought of a post office box as a secure place to receive packages. Guess I won't make that mistake any more.
Fun with the post office: an Amazon package was delivered to my P.O. box on Saturday morning. Someone picked it up. Problem is, it wasn't me. And now nobody will take responsibility for it. ?
