Dear Queenie,
My sister said she bought me a gift and had someone send it to me but up to now I haven’t seen it and it’s been several weeks since she sent it.
Queenie, is there anything we can do?—Missing gift
Dear Missing,
Both you and your sister should check with the people who were supposed to send and deliver the gift. Sometimes things get lost in transit, or the delivery person cannot find the address, or the sender or the delivery person gets the address wrong. If it was a professional delivery service they should have a record of the gift, the delivery address and a “proof of delivery” receipt which would show where and to whom the package was delivered.
And if whoever it was could not deliver the gift for some reason, they still should have it on hand, although they should have informed the sender by now.
