*screams and throws things*

So I mailed my manuscript out yesterday, Express Mail, and checked the box that waives the signature. It's going to a PO box, and there won't be anyone there to sign for it.

So I check the tracking number today, and I see that 'a notice was left, and we will try to deliver again tomorrow'.

Um, fuck?

So I call the national number and explain the situation, and the lady asks me if perhaps the package was too large to fit in the box. It's a manuscript, being sent to a publishing company which is expecting such manuscripts. If it doesn't fit in the box, that's a BIG BIG problem. And slightly unlikely.

She gives me the number for the central post office which handles such things, so I call them. And again they ask me if maybe it wouldn't fit in the box. Hello, do I look stupid? (Yeah, and I've worked tech support, I know, but geez...)

So...she's going to call the local post office and tell them to put it in the damn box, and then she's gonna call me back. And we'll see. I really hope it was just a post office fuckup and easily fixable. If not...man, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

If not...man, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Drive to Delaware and hand another copy of the manuscript to the desk person at that specific post office?

Severely tempting.

The lady from the second post office called back and said she hadn't gotten through, and was going to keep trying...so there's still a chance.

And, *hugs*

If it hasn't been delivered by Monday, sounds like a good (if obnoxious) plan to me!
