I did get one guy tossed in jail for ignoring a summons. Judge told him he had to stay in until the records were produced. When the guy asked how he was gonna do that while in jail the judge told him that was his problem. The next day three of the best looking women you have EVER seen brought his records in. Sigh...apparently running a bar/strip club is a very, VERY good thing. In the end we put him out of business, assessed him some 60 grand in taxes (plus penalties, etc, which doubled the total). He went to live with "family" in Florida. Dunno if they ever caught him, don't care; I got to transfer the case. And had my trainee start my car for a few months...

And getting spit at was about a twice a year thing at the IRS. Worst they ever hit was a shoe. Still-- a stupid, STUPID thing to do. Taxes can be collected easy or they can be collected hard. Spitters didn't get the easy way...in the shoe case I just went to my car, pulled out a levy form, filled it out by hand (done rarely!), took it back into the factory, went to his employer and levied his wages. On payday. He got fifty dollars to live on that week plus 15 more for his one kid. Much more amiable when he came in for a levy release the next Tuesday.

Media mail is the next best thing to leaving undelivered mail under a viaduct (which has happened here in Chicago). Sometimes I think the Post Office deliberately mauls and delays media mail just to scare you away from using it. My media mail only shows up on Friday, for example. So if I order a book on Wednesday, I might as well wait until the next Monday because they will show up at the same time. Anytime someone uses media mail to ship things, I try to find the guy as close to me as possible. The farther it has to travel, the worse off it will be -- and the longer it takes to cartwheel to your address.

Sheesh... I'm not sure why you blame the carrier. Far more likely someone bashed in your package long before it got to him/her. BTW, the UPS has been using an absolutely GORGEOUS** carrier locally as of late. The USPS might want to consider adding a little cheesecake to its staff. **yes, gorgeous, even dressed in that gawdawful uniform...
