The post office delivered my missing package

A couple months ago, when I was stocking up on food due to the stay at home shutdown,
I decided to buy some powder whole milk for cereal, etc (just in case). Bought a 2 pound can from Amazon (everyone else was selling nonfat; I wanted whole).

Tracking shows it was delivered June 8th, and put in a ‘parcel locker’. I got a key to the locker, but it was empty. I complained to the P.O.; I complained to Amazon. But because the P.O. tracking said it had been delivered to me, they would do nothing.

This morning there was a key in my mailbox for the parcel locker. I was puzzled as I had not ordered anything in weeks. Found a box with my name and address; took it home; opened it up and there was the powdered milk I had ordered 2 months ago. The label said it had been shipped on June 8th.

I asked the can “Where have you been?” but got no reply.

Couple of months later the package mysteriously showed up on my doorstep. I had to throw it out though, because it had food items and they didn't held.
How is the milk doing?

A lot of the USPS mail and packages fly instead of trucking it.
