So, the post office was caught out on this one. I caught the postal carrier in a lie after going to the distribution center and talking to an official because my order was missing. The carrier placed my order in the wrong box----marked it as 'delivered' and figured 'close enough' I guess. I went in to the center with the tracking number and recorded information and the deliverer admitted that they had put it in the wrong box and couldn't retrieve it. Busted! Anyhow, I had to track it down, found out who's box my package was in, texted them, they in turn went and looked, found it in their box and then dropped it in my box and let me know it was there. I just walked in the house with it and opened it. The color of the natural turquoise is beautiful, and I'm very pleased with it. What a trip.....thanks for these stones.
