This reminds me of a similar experience I had recently, except with a different outcome. A friend of mine in Chicago mailed a package to me in Minnesota, but the post office accidentally entered his address instead of my address on the shipping label (with my name).

So the package had my correct address handwritten on it, with the printed shipping label bearing his address as both the return address and the delivery address.

Should have been easy enough to figure out, but it was delayed for almost three weeks while they figured out what to do with it.

Just proves your point about QoS really varying depending on the people/locations involved.
