My comments and opinion
It's very unsettling to see the timeline of events.
The member in question posted on June 2nd that they mailed their project envelope 11 days *BEFORE* they posted on June 2nd (see post no. 7056).
Then, Nan posted that she received their package, which was post marked on June 7th, 2018.
I'm an bonded courier who works with sensitive mail for my employer. Here's what I know about technical mail issues:
1) an article of mail, whether it's an envelope or package, is only post marked once. Once.
2) That post mark cancellation stamp appears on the article in question and it's the post mark cancellation anyone sees on any letter, bill or official correspondence. That post mark cancellation stamp is administered by the postal facility from where the article in question is mailed.
3) Each postal office, whether it's here in the US or in another country, applies that cancellation date stamp to articles mailed from any specific place that provides mail services. The place of origination shows usually as city, state, and subsequent country, as viewable on the post mark cancellation stamp applied by that specific mail issuer.
In some instances, as an example, our company has its own Pittney-Bowes mail room machinery that processes outgoing mail. On that post mark cancellation stamp from our facility is the subsequent city, state and country (US), but also contains an set of alpha numeric characters as an identifying set of ID which ID's our mail room to official postal inspectors.
Conversely, in ordinary postal mail services, all that is necessary to trace place of origination is the singlely applied date cancellation stamp which verifies the place where the article in question is mailed. If there is an set of alpha numeric characters on a thin strip of sticker-type ID at the bottom or side of the article, all that means is that it's just another set of ID belonging to the mail services issuer.
All that matters, in most cases of mail, is the single post marked cancellation stamp on the article in question which is found in the upper right hand corner of any article mailed from an postal mailing station (here in the US or anywhere in the world).
To post in the thread that one has mailed their package eleven days before June 2nd, yet when the wrangler receives the article post marked and date stamped for June 7th, constitutes an exaggeration of the truth (my professional opinion).
False facts presented: "(sic) I mailed it eleven days ago, per post on June 2nd" (see post no. 7056).
FACT ON RECORD: Article in question is post marked and date stamped (cancellation stamp) on June 7th, 2018.
Fact on record supercedes false facts provided by member on June 2nd, 2018.
In my own professional work experience and opinion, the only fact believeable in this particular case is the post marked date stamp on the article in question.
