I recently had a major shipping snafu. Lots of $$ on the line.
Guitar builder ordered parts. I made, and shipped Express mail just before Thanksgiving. They should have arrived on Saturday.
Come Monday, he calls, fairly irate. they never arrived....
I tell him they shipped to him address. I give the address to verify.
He says he moved... 15 MONTHS AGO.
Well, I never got the notice that he moved, and shipped to the address on his Paypal account like I always have. He never updated. The post orifice has been forwarding his mail, up till just after his last purchase!

At this point, he's pretty upset. Several thousand dollars on the line for him if he can't get his guitars out quickly. We both start talking to his old post office, who takes their sweet time trying to locate the package, retrieve it, and forward it on to him. The new tenant of the house wasn't being very cooperative, either.
After about two weeks, I decide to eat it and replace the parts. He had used up the last of those particular components on the earlier build. I do the build in one day, and go to mail them out. Literally seconds after the transaction at the post office, I get a call from his old postmaster. "We got your package, we'll forward it on immediately"
