Thanks for the comments guys. Apparently what happened was that not only was the mail carrier not willing to go up the one flight of stairs to see if we were home (we were), but the card for signature was marked "letter" and not "package", so the employee at the post office couldn't find it since it was in that small bubble mailer, technically a package. Had to go back a second day, but I described what it probably looked like and had it in 20 seconds.

Glad to have it under any circumstances, extra happy to have it now!
