Postal Confusion

I suspected that our strange moving pattern might confuse the post office, and I was right. I spent about an hour yesterday with two branches of the postal service trying to untie a forwarding 'knot' that was preventing us from receiving any mail at the new address. Just so you know, if you move twice within six months (the length of time a forwarding order is active), you need to make sure you get the old forwarding order corrected, rather than just add a new forwarding request. On top of that, our mail carrier at the new address thought he was being helpful and when he saw mail for us at #742 he assumed it was a typo for #744 and forwarded it to our Grandview address...which in turn was being forwarded back to #742. My missing Netflix DVDs were delivered today so I think we got it all worked out now.
