| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System And cleanliness. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System I have a small online business that routinely ships packages via USPS, and maybe one package has been lost over the past 10 years - this mind you after shipping about 2,500 packages in the "flat rate" boxes supplied by the USPS. Of course, my ship... |
