[SALE] Bicycle Holiday tin sets

"Missent" means that the first sort facility put the package in the wrong bin based on the zip code.
After that the address is not looked at until it arrives at the local Post Office.
"Arrival at unit" means the local Post Office, not the addressee.
So the local Post Office realized the mistake and probably now is rerouted.
For sure it was not delivered to a wrong person.

Thank you. I feel relieved now.

Wait what? I didn't do anything nor did I say much. You must have mistaken me with someone else when I changed my name.

You are welcome.
Another thing is that Registered Mail, usually moves slower in the US, because the extra handling they put in.( I talk with a Postmaster, about a year ago, and he said that all Registered Mail is stored in a different area under a lock)
I'm confident that the package will show up next week.

As a side note: If you see that it's no movement on your package by checking your tracking number, you can inquire e-mail updates on the USPS website.Usually that shakes the package off the limbo in the system.
It worked out five out off six times when I was thinking the package was lost(10 days+ on a 2-4 days estimated delivery time).

Sadly, the USPS sometimes is loosing packages...but that is very rare...in three years, sending hundreds of packages a year, I've experienced only 3 missent, 1 damaged and none lost packages.

Hope that helps and everything is going to be fine!

It just arrived today, in great condition all wrapped very neatly! Thanks a lot Digipunk!
PS: what was that extra red paper thing that came with it?

[xZEROx]

Red paper? Please, even if you don't appreciate or know much about the Chinese culture, at least read the previous posts. We've talked about it in this very thread. It's called "red pockets" (紅包).

No need to be rude or harsh. This had nothing to do with me not appreciating Chinese culture. I didn't open up the plastic because I wanted to know what it was before doing so. I greatly appreciate the fact that digipunk added that. I was just wondering what it was.
And exactly what is red pockets?

[xZEROx]

I wasn't intended to sound rude or harsh. If you felt that way, I'm sorry.
Without asking again, please read the previous posts. It's been explained.

Hahaha...glad to hear this. And thanks to JimmyJohns, xZEROx, Don, and jmrock.

@Nathan, the red pocket (or red envelope) was discussed in page one here

Though people give red envelopes to their kids and elderly people at Chinese New Year's Eve instead of Jan 1st as xZEROx said. hahaha. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year#Red_envelopes
