heheh Mine didn't hang out in NY for very long, but it did sit on someone's desk at my Post Office for two days apparently because the tracking bar code would not scan. I had to go to the counter and tell them I hadn't received a pick-up notice but it had been delivered to them two days ago. Took 20 minutes to find it (could have been worse, I suppose, but still.)
For those who haven't seen it, Jens and Co. send out tracking information in a PDf which includes pictures of the shipped article. This was what finally helped locate the box.
