Misplaced mail To the Editor: I ordered a package and had it delivered to the post office; it was received by the local post office but I never received it or a notice that I had a package. I was first told that I may have misplaced it and then maybe it was put in someone else’s box. Then I was told to contact the company and maybe they would send me another one. This is not the company’s fault nor mine. It’s the post office’s fault. If you received a package by mistake that was ad- dressed to me, would you please return it to me.
