A major bummer, I hope they get their due justice ⚖️
I would bet that it's sitting in a safe somewhere being ignored. Registered mail is signed off at each step of the way. It gets put into a safe when not moving...but if there is a thief, they will find a way.
That happened to me where it was in safe with no one knowing where it was. 3 day took 5 and a half. Long as I got it 👍
My takeaways...
I hope they get it back.
Why the heck did they mail it Priority Registered? Once you add Registered service then other service levels are irrelevant and unenforceable. I have to wonder if the Priority Mail labeling confused a postal clerk.
I assume the Postal Inspectors are on the case. They know who signed for it last.
