Anna’s Life

I ordered some plants and flowers for my garden several weeks back.  I had a check made out to the company from my credit union account.  I then went to the post office to mail it in a Priority Mail envelope with a delivery confirmation so I would know when it arrived at its intended destination. 

Two days later I checked to see if it was delivered and it was.  The company tells me they never received the check and this is going on 3 weeks now.  The USPS is investigating.  Meanwhile, my credit union dispersment check is just out there in la-la land.  I don’t know about you, but that always makes me nervous.

After being on the phone with the company, the USPS, and the credit union numerous times over the past few weeks I grew tired of the whole matter.   I called the credit union to stop payment on the check as I planned to just cancel the order. 

The credit union informed me that I could indeed do a stop payment, but it would cost me $28 and they would have to reissue another check made out to the same company.  Because I do not have a checking account with the credit union and only a savings, they cannot redeposit the money back into my account.   What the heck?

Well, once again, I will send the check out.  I chose Priority Mail because it is faster than the old Certified Mail where you actually have to have a signer for the letter.  I am wondering if I should just go with FedEx or something else.  I am very aggravated with the whole situation.

Many of the items I had ordered have now sold out.  Grrrr…..

If I did my job like these people, I would not have a job!
