[Lincolnparkdc] Missing package

[Martha Huizenga]

That's if you can get through to the SW office. I never got the package
that said it was delivered a couple of weeks ago and the Etsy seller said
they can't get through to the post office, so they aren't filing a
complaint. So, I"m out the money that I spent on that. Maybe it was stolen
or maybe the guy never delivered it, I'll never know.

It's a shame that our USPS service can't be better.
