STDs that never made it to their destination

Chica, on April 19, 2017 at 10:19 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 19

Ok so y'all know the post office is crazy. So far 2 people have NOT received our STD's which were sent on April 4th. I know that technically they can still receive it the days/months to come, but I will not assume that. I am anxious thinking there could be more ppl. that we just don't know about yet.

Thankfully, a lot of people did reach out to FH and I, and even sent us photos that they receive our STD's. But for those who have raised concerns that they still haven't received it, I'm concerned. I don't want them to think we purposely didn't send them a STD.

My action plan will be (although more work) to reach out and confirm that everyone that was suppose to receive an STD did. We will make a list. If they didn't receive it, we will hand deliver their invitations. Just to be safe.

If anyone wants to follow this idea, please do. I find that STDs are a good trial run of whether or not invitations will reach their destination, you spelled names correctly, included SO names, etc.

    I'm completely convinced that the postal service is completely screwed up.

    @SarahM I know it shouldn't be this difficult in 2017. No wonder ppl. prefer email and text communications over snail mail. But for invites, I just couldn't. Lol

    Yep I had two people tell me they never received theirs (we sent them out three weeks ago) and I double checked their address with them and it's correct. Damn USPS

    I pick up the mail for my office every day. I can't tell you how many times I get other people's mail in our boxes by mistake. Sad but true.

    @MOB lol I get my neighbors mail all the time too (like neighbors 2-5 doors down). How the heck is it even possible to get it wrong? The houses are clearly numbered.

    We get our neighbors mail all the time too. It's ridiculous. USPS can't get their shit together. We mailed two invitations to the same address since they were friend roommates, one got delivered no problem and the other got returned to us as "undeliverable". How is is an address deliverable for one but not the other. Also, two of my bridesmaids never even got theirs. It was annoying.

    @Kay WTF one roommate received it, but the other was undeliverable. How does this happen? USPs needs to do better.
