Hello new to this forum. Willing everyone is doing well during these times.
I recently got a po box. The day I got the po box I wrote 2 letters (to people on the inside) with the new address in my car and plugged in the address for another letter (international penpal).
I figure I'd check the mail in two weeks to see if I got anything. For kicks I even ordered a book online and a cassette tape from an artist to be sent there. Today (15 days later). I check my po box and see a blue plastic thing blocking where they are supposed to insert the mail. I reach in grab it and go to the front desk to see what's going on.
I ask what's going on with my po box and give them the blue thing I grabbed from ny po box. The lady who I ask this passes on the question to 2 other clerks who look me up, and verify that my po box is active and say there is no problem and Im good.
I sit in my car for about 10 mins and something tells me to get clarification on whether having that blue block in my po box would cause any mail coming for me to be sent back. The guy goes on about the po box being open only 2 weeks and it takes time for mail to be forwarded. I tell him that I had no mail forwarded there and had anticipated some mail. After a little back and forth he does say any mail that came for me would be turned around but then blows it off and doubts any mail would reach me that fast, mail circulating, contact the people who sent me mail blah blah blah.
I don't mind mail not coming, people not responding, etc but I hope the two people on the inside didn't write me and these letters bounced back.
What would you do in this scenario?
The two packages I will email about.
The international probably hasn't arrived.
I'll check the po box next Friday or on the weekend.
