Put through the customer service run-around both times which pretty much did nothing besides telling me that they'll "look into it" and call me back". Protip: when looking for a package forget the universal "ASK USPS" customer service number and call the post office your package was last seen at; here your conservation prize at the least is a transfer call to a in the flesh service rep.

Even with their occasional mistake, I'm still amazed at what the post office provides. For 45 cents, I can give a letter to a guy that comes to my door, and within a few days, it will be anywhere in the world that I want it to go. That's pretty damn impressive.
Don't worry, other private enterprises will take over; you know the guys in brown and tom hanks.
