Had an electronic device go missing during shipment through USPS. Tracking had it depart a shipping center in WV. It never arrived at my local P.O. Discussions with the Postmaster ensued...I was informed that packages are bulk loaded under a single barcode when moved from the distribution center (1-barcode = 65 packages). If anything is missing they don't know what it is, just that there is something not there. I was told that I would have take it up with the contracted shipping firm as it was THEIR responsibility. Fortunately, the company I ordered from understood and sent me a replacement FEDEX which arrived on-time and unscathed.
