sorry to hear that since it was one the few shipping tasks small enough 
for me to manage myself these days.  I, took it to the PO, I think it 
was Wednesday.  I asked to buy one of their shipping boxes they promote 
on TV but they insisted on sending it in the plastic bag you used to 
send it to us. I gave them "from" and "to" labels that they taped on and 
I swiped my card and left.  It was not returned to me.  Hope there was 
no other printed addresses on that bag.   Give them a few more days.
