Folks Of Interest Looking for HAMB member Ron Riccardo of Centralia, WA

I am looking to locate Ron Riccardo because on November 15th of 2023 he sent me a payment for a quarter window garnish molding that I had for sale here on the HAMB. His payment never arrived and I actually figured he had changed his mind and didnt actually send it. He and I had a couple of conversations on HAMB messenger but eventually we both just gave up.
TODAY January 25th of 2024 his payment arrived in the mail! I have previously deleted all conversations from him and I dont remember his HAMB name to do a search. I would like to contact him to see if he still wants the garnish or what he would like me to do with this postal money order.
About all I know about him from his HAMB profile is that he has a couple 34 5W coupes.
If you know him please let him know to contact me here on the HAMB. Corndog (Paul)

 

Good on ya!

Back to the top...Sure doesn't speak too well for the postal service!

 

Yes our postal system is very purely managed.

 

...or perhaps even poorly managed.

 

I suspect the postal system is on time, on the spot most of the time . These kind of things have happened from the beginning. I am amazed that anything EVER gets where it should considering the size of the country and the population!

I have seen pictures of the dead letter facility in Atlanta, one of several. Looks like an airplane hanger.
Mostly just a bump to keep this near the top. Good on you for trying.

 

Let my dad know corndog was trying to get a hold of him. Thanks

 

I've been in contact with Corndog, (Paul)and the situation has been resolved. Ron

 

I bought a single rod bolt around Thanksgiving. It was supposed to arrive in a week. I got it in January.
Thankfully I wasn’t in a hurry for it.

 

Glad it worked out. The US Postal System delivers, on average, 162,100,000 pieces of first class mail every day. Even if they are 99.999 percent accurate, 1621 pieces of mail would go astray. 99% accurate means 1.62 million get lost. Unfortunate, but who among us is 99% accurate in our work every day.? Pretty easy to judge.

 

Yikes!!!

Do the terms "going Postal" and "target on my back" mean anything to you?

 

...I would never single out any of the individual USPS workers, except for maybe the one who leaves my mail everywhere but at my house!..I'm certain it is a most difficult and tedious job. I doubt that I could have been a letter-carrier for 30 years. Somewhere though between Congress and upper level management there are some issues. As @5window indicated, they actually do a pretty remarkable job all things considered.

 

Very honestly I wouldn't argue with the concept that that envelope with the money order was sitting in a contracted trailer somwhere in Wyoming after the truck got in one of those pileups in November. I had a small package disappear in shipping for about three weeks about that time. Loaded on a truck that usually takes about 2 days to get to the terminal out here and then showed up in Spokane weeks later.

 

I jut sent a NOS EELCO instrument panel to Ron Ricardo. I have his contact info if you still need it.

 

Looks like it’s all been worked out Nick.
