Guys-

This is actually pretty common. Packages go through with non-critical but required info being missing or incorrect all the time, until one day they get stopped. I've been notified of issues with packages a full month after they'd been sent and delayed.

Sometimes it's a postal worker having a bad day, or maybe one finally having a good day, and actually looking at what they're shipping. Sometimes your packages go through the first couple times, only to have a single post office in the entire country complain to the originating one that something was amiss. Sometimes there's not actually anything wrong with a package, but their machines can't scan it.

FWIW. I work in the fulfillment industry. Not proof by any means that Openflash is on the up-and-up, but I've seen enough of this first hand to give them the benefit of the doubt. USPS is absolutely terrible to work with.
