Well, the US Post Office has struck again….

I finally received the Silent Super from the US Post Office, three days after my last post on the subject (9/14).  I guess I really do not know if the fault was with the Post Office or the sender.  I spoke with a person at the KC metro mail sorting facility who had received the typewriter, in the case with no packaging.  None what-so-ever.  So there they were with this cased typewriter, and no idea where it should go…………

Luckily the sender had called the facility and described the item, to which they immediately acknowledged possession.  Seems that was the only typewriter they had with no packaging or addressing.  The sender then called me and I telephoned the Postal facility myself, hoping to pick up the item directly.  By the time I talked to them however, the Post Office had placed the item in new packaging and sent it on to my address.

When I received the typewriter I was impressed at the packing job the Post Office had done.  It was inside a box with protection on all sides.  I held my breath when I opened the box but found that the case had hardly a mark on it.  Unsure if the marks I saw were caused by the journey or were already there beforehand.  The typewriter itself appeared to have been well protected inside its case by the sender.  I was actually wrapped in the plastic type wrap common in shipping today and had peanuts filling the remaining void.

So all is well that ends well.  Below is an image of the typewriter.  Very clean and attractive.  Types nicely.

More to come...................
