<p>i'm a deferree and so in early January I sent some updates and a new essay through international express mail, which is supposed to reach the US in 4 days at most. i've just received a call from the post office saying that my delivery has failed. it took 1 month for them to notify me?!</p>
<p>anyway, what can i do now? i'm going to request redelivery - i just hope they haven't lost the whole darn envelope altogether. im worried that it may hurt me if they receive it as late as next week, and since there's quite abit of new stuff to read. but i hope it's not too bad, since ive heard that Yale reviews deferrees only after reviewing the RD apps - is that true?</p>
<p>also, should i request that the postal company attach a note to the envelope explaining the failed delivery and subsequent redelivery?</p>
<p>okay, ive already faxed it in after i saw this thread. but should i also fax in the letter of explanation for lost mail i got from the post company? would it seem obsessive? what should i tell Yale about why i wanna give them that letter?</p>
<p>pmwosa: yes, IMO it would be to your advantage if you give them a copy of the letter of explanation from the post office.</p>
<p>I'm also having the same problem, but with a courier service. I sent ALL of my documents in one envelope February 23rd, which was supposed to arrive in New Haven February 26. The online status page has remained the same until now, and I've been getting crazy trying to contact all these TNT people, who keep on saying that they're "trying to track the package down." I'm extremely disappointment with their service... But at least Yale extended their deadline, which was a major relief. I just hope it's not missing, wouldn't want to ask for another set of recommendations..</p>
