Lorraine Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I really do wonder now if some of the Rush insiders read this forum in general and are reading this thread in particular. Why now? Because this seems to be a hit and miss type of thing - getting autographs. The only other thing I can think is that everything is laid out in the order it was received at the venue - first arrive, first serve type of thing - by Liam. I know you said they often run out of time when they even have the time to sign stuff. But reading the posts here, when some sent their items to Seattle, how they came back, makes me wonder..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell. It might depend on how well the venue manages to get all the mail in one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch The Mystery Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) ...And always include the celebs address as the return address if the package is over 13 oz.....otherwise the postal service will not forward it back to you. Packages under 13 oz are exempt from this... Well this is where it apparently went wrong with my package on it's way back to TX! From the track & track info that was given to my friend at the post office he had discovered that my return envelope had been returned to the Key Arena instead of his TX address. He has contacted them and he was most fortunate to have been put in touch with a super nice staff member who not only located the envelope but was also super kind to drop it off at the post office and even bought track and trace for it as well! So, now it's only anoher 24 hours and then me and my friend will be able to open the package together via FaceTime :) Soooooo excited!!! And within a month's time I'll be able to hold it in my hands when I meet up with him in person!

I still don't understand the 13 oz. thing, even with the good explanation from you and Diamond Dave but that's really cool the arena people were so nice and that you will have it soon! :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tourbook comes out of the envelope with one, two or even three sigs on it I'll be doing a happy dance first and then I'll post a pic of it here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondDave Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm a rural carrier for the post office....the reason behind the 13 oz thing is those packages are flown as cargo on commercial passenger airlines. There is a concern from the airlines that packages 13 oz or more, could be something nefarious. Add no return address or the same return address as addressed to, and it is considered an anonymous package. It will not ship, or if by chance it does, if it is noticed at any point of it's travel, it will be returned to the point of departure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend went to the post office when he sent it out to Seattle and I think he may not have been told about this 13 oz thing. He's put the Key Arena as the sender on the return package. Lucky for us he did get track & trace for the return envelope as well so he was able to determine where it ended up so all will be well after all in the end :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure my package is sitting in a post office somewhere ... I emailed her last night asking which post office I should start checking at . Tried going through post office general service really difficult if the tracking number is not showing up in the system Edited July 31, 2015 by ajonesumcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcm Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) wow I can't believe how lucky I was then, my package had a weird label on it I hadn't seen before, it looks like it was over 13oz and stamped(the post guy in my town would not pre-meter it) and I had my address as the to and return....I think it is awesome the venue is working with some of you to get your packages to you...really above and beyond on their part...nice to see good people in the world still.
