Oh USPS, you are a hoot!

You know how you can get those plastic white bins/boxes and clear bags to hold your packages? Well I get alot of them from my mail carrier or sometimes grab a bunch of them when I drop off at random POs.

From time to time I would find a small package stuck at the bottom of the supposedly empty bag or box. I generally would just throw it back into USPS circulation. But recently I found a package that turned out to be MY PACKAGE that I sent out to a buyer 6 years ago!!!! It never made it to the buyer but accidentally returned to me. Sorry to the buyer... that you never got your iphone case. I can imagine that you've since gotten a newer phone and don't need the case anymore.

Was this in one of the bins you had at your workplace or did you recently grab the bin from the PO?

I was going to ask if OP was sure it wasn't a bin they had sitting at the bottom of a stack for 6 years. It's hard to imagine a package staying stuck to the bottom of a bin for 6 years, or a bin going unused at even the smallest of PO's for 6 years.

It was from a wad of bags my mail carrier just dropped off to me at the end of his route.

That's incredible~what are the odds that you would get a bag that just happened to have a lost package of yours in it!

I think the bags were IN the bin and the parcel was between the bin and the bags?

Not only that, but one from SIX YEARS ago!

Maybe your postal carrier was cleaning out his garage 🙂

Or the package really didn't want to leave the OP!
