They ship via UPS, so I gave them our house address, since UPS doesn&#8217;t deliver to PO Boxes. However, UPS <em>will<\/em> hand packages off to the USPS under certain circumstances. To further complicate matters, we do not yet have a mailbox at our new house, so the USPS held the package at the local post office.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we went to the post office and asked for held mail for our address. The USPS gave me the jewelry, along with a few other items. Verna has her Valentine&#8217;s Day spiny oyster necklace and earrings at last.
