Default Delivery Issues

I sent a package in for the thirty bead challenge last Friday. It arrived in Tucson on Monday but was not actually delivered - a notice was left. I've noticed that as of this morning the package status has not changed. Is this normal for BOC? I'd hate to have the beads sent back to me - I really want the kids to have them. The DC number is: 9405509699939062953743.

I'll post a picture in a little while. I hope to begin doing this on a regular basis

I don't believe that this is normal procedure at HQ. There should have been someone there to accept the package unless they tried to deliver at an odd hour. I've had packages turn up at my house as late as 8pm, so if they came that late there wouldn't be anyone there. Why is still hasn't been delivered is a bit of a mystery, I'll see if I can find out what's happening with it.

It says a notice was left at 10:20AM.
I think once the notice is left the package sits at the PO until its picked up or time runs out.

The front office has been notified and they tell me that they're checking. It makes it easier if I have a full name to track so if you don't mind, please PM me your name if I need to track something for you.

Thank you for all you do for Beads of Courage!

Robert

Since I have them I thought I'd post the pics of what I sent. And, not to worry - if for some reason they come back to me I will resend them. I realize that if that happens they won't qualify for the 30 bead challenge anymore but that's not important. It's important that some child might get a smile from one of these:

Wonderful beads, I'm sure that we'll track them down. Thanks for the PMs, we'll get this sorted out. I don't want any of these beautiful beads to go anywhere but to the kids who need them most.

Mary Beth, those are wonderful! Maybe it was a simple glitch like the delivery person coded it wrong.

It looks like there were some scanner issues with the delivery guy. There was someone in the office on Monday so everything should be in place. I hope that they get the receipts out quickly.

So it sounds like they have it! Thanks so much for checking, Robert! I'm not concerned about the receipt.

Robert did just let me know that they do have my beads! A big thank you to Robert and Michelle for checking on them! Here's hoping they have Sue's also!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. This challenge was helpful to me also. I don't believe I've ever made tube beads before - they were a lot of fun! I really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations and I can see donating a lot more of these in the future

Thanks ladies. I was trying to challenge myself to make a bunch of different ones using my new slim kera press.
