VaQP Prep (< 6 days out) and USPS drops the ball (again)

This evening I am charging up batteries used in small devices, making sure all cables are still where I last left them, and that all of it works (bluetooth GPS for CQX, bluetooth Moblinkd TNC2 for APRS). I am finalizing mapping and creating of gps coordinates for CQX.

Today I had the misfortune of having my USPS driver deliver two packages I need for VaQP to a neighbor a street over from me. I was notified of the delivery 10 minutes before he even showed up in front of my house (I was outside going thru my truck 30 min prior). I asked him, as he was about to leave my mailbox at the street, so where are my two packages? Let's just say he was confused and ran over to where he 'thought' he left them but they were not there < 15 minutes after he 'left them' (at the wrong house). I have made two trips to the neighbors house, no one is home so either they went out after putting my packages inside their home or they are away and a neighbor that's collecting their mail and packages didn't see that it's not theirs or someone else snagged them up. I reported it to Amazon, they want me to wait 24h. Good thing I still have time for another shipment. I hate USPS.

Murphy's Law...watch out for it!
