to me mailing a check on June 19th.
I included a photo of the check and envelope in an email on the 19th.
After that; all email communication ended!! A follow up email the next day,
again, yielded, no response. Tuesday, Wednesday and up to Thursday evening,
nothing.
It was then I called the bank and put a "stop payment" on the check.
I don't know what experience you have with US Mail, but ours has been
that it can take WEEKS for mail to get to its destination, or it can
arrive in a few days. USPS managed to lose our CA tax return that we
sent Priority or Certified; last we heard after three weeks was that it
was in Minnesota on its way from Santa Cruz, CA to Sacramento, CA. Going
on the fourth week, we mailed a duplicate return. No check was included
with either mailing.
It's not at all uncommon for mail to take 4-5 days to get to its
destination. And, as you may have heard, mail is handled both by humans
and by machines. Both are well known to screw up.
Further, June 19 is a Federal holiday, thus a mail holiday, so mailing
it on Monday is like mailing it on Tuesday, and most mail doesn't move
beyond the local post office until that night.
IMO, there is FAR too much mistrust of our fellow man, and the blame
gets spread between certain politicians, predatory media, and social
media (what we used to call gossip when we were kids).
