<prompt> Human: Apologies if this isnt the right place to post but Im kinda in a bind. I sent in my state taxes NC and USPS somehow managed to lose them and they werent delivered. I called up the NC DOR and they asked me to send in a duplicate tax return which I did. USPS now says that has been delivered to the post office and is ready for pickup. Does this mean that the NC DOR will collect my returns from the post office the delivery address was PO box or does it mean USPS screwed up again? Ill probably call up the NC DOR on Monday again in case the status doesnt change to ask them if this is normal, but in the event it isnt I want to be prepared to do something before the deadline.Assistant: I have a PO Box. Ready for pickup means the letter is waiting for someone to pickup the mail. Mail with tracking needs to be picked up at the counter, when they do your letter will be scanned and marked delivered. Give them a day or so. Human: Thats what I thought. I just wasnt sure if someone from the NC DOR would go pick stuff up.  <response>: If its anything like where I work, we get mail delivered to us and send someone to the post office to pick up mail. During tax season there is a lot for that someone to pick up.
