I sent, using the address for New York, because that was the address at the time earlier part of this year, and now I see there is a new address?? I called the office that I sent it to, a few days later. The operator answered saying, Sesame Street Workshop. I asked the operator if she would confirm if the cannister had arrived. I told her who it was for. She said, "Who?" I said, Frank Oz, voice actor, the muppets." She said, "Who did you say?" I told her again, Frank Oz, you know the muppets, they had this address to send his fan mail to." She said, "I do not know of this person. There is no one that works here by that name." I will connect you to someone. Well, I left a message with that someone, who said he was at the other buidling on his recording, and asked if they would let me know if it arrived. They never called. So, I called his other agency in California, and they directed me to the main person, and she told me to send her an e-mail explaining what was going on. So, I sent her an e-mail explaining about the fan mail address, calling to confirm it arrived, and what the operator said. I never heard back from her. I believe she forwarded the message to them in New York, but, I don't know if she forwarded it to Frank Oz. To hear that there is another address to send his mail to, which means, that cannister will never be picked up. ....I have three little girls, and two babies that the prints were going to be autographed to them as a surprise. Two of them are my granddaughters. One is a voice actor's daughter, and friends who have a baby. I have no where to go with this, since the operator doesn't even know who Frank Oz is at the Sesame Street Workshop. Let that soak in a minute, and see how bizarre that is.

then he should announce it to the world that he no longer signs autographs!!
I just sent an e-mail to the Sesame Street Workshop telling them they received the cannister on May 25th, and Frazier signed for it, and I want to know if it is still sitting there, or did someone notify Frank. That this was not right to treat the fans this way. If it wasn't for the fans, there would be no sesame street, nor, the popularity of frank oz, along with all the other voice actors out there. It is bad enough the postal system is so messed up in delivering packages that go beyond your state, and it is a risk that they arrive at the destination, but, agencies will not even tell you if it arrived on that day.
I got posters autographed from Optimus Prime. When I explained the wealth of prints I had sent out, and that the postal service, because if unexperienced mailmen, or workers that do the sorting, you have to track down your packages to make sure they arrived. Since, they forced mandatory early retirement, this leaves the workers that are not experienced to step in to sort. Which means, if the packages all look identical, they will not scan them, and will bundle them, which means, the ones that go to Texas, ends up going to California, because California is the name they see on the top one. Then the mailman will not leave a note to pick up the package at the post office, if you are not there to sign for it. so, they end up sending it back to the sender, which is me. So, that is why I call the places to make sure they have arrived. Then you have to put up with this at the agency themselves. it is a mess.
STay tune...if I get a reply from Sesame Street Workshop, I will put it on the forum.....

I got posters autographed from Optimus Prime, himself, but, it was a war from his agency to even acknowledge they had received it back on July 5th.

Nothing is guaranteed in this. Stop sending valuable prints (or whatever you are so bent about that you sent). Move on and focus on something else besides postal workers and agencies.

There is a risk in fanmail and nothing is ever guaranteed. Just because you send something doesn't mean that the other party has to sign it for you.

No one is obligated to sign your stuff. You shouldn't send what you can't afford to lose.
If they sign it, great.
If not- then they don't.
