Question about USPS (mainly picking something up)

[The Murderous Cop]

So I recently bought a PS2 Memory Card with FreeMcBoot on it.

FreeMcBoot lets you run homebrew and backups. I backed up most of my PS2 games before I sold them all, just incase. Well, I didn't. More like my father gave them to Slackers as a kid.
But yeah, that's why I bought it. (Hopefully backups don't fall under the piracy rule, I'm not sure.)

Also my PS2 memory card is dying.

Anyways, more on USPS less on the product. I had it sent to my mother's work (the one who lives here in Missouri) because she works in shipping and receiving. According to USPS, it's arriving on Saturday. However, no one's at work on a Saturday, and thus, they don't deliver there.

So my question is: If there's no one there and it doesn't get delivered, does it stay at a post office and I can just pick it up?

Just a small question. Once I get the answer I'll lock it.

why did you send it to her workplace?... how inconvenient and pointless.

also if you went through all the effort to copy your games, why not take the last logical step and play the m as roms on a computer. no stuffty mem cards needed.

Commonly they will leave a cute little yellow slip informing you that there was no one at the residence to receive the package when the postman came by.  You can take that yellow slip to the post office and they will give you the package.   However, sometimes you will have to wait 24 hours before you can pick up the package from the post office, so that would move your receiving day to be on Monday..  Hopefully you aren't impatient ;)

Since she works in shipping and receiving or whatever it's called, she's the first to get it. Like, manages it.

Also, I don't have a PC good enough to run PCSX2 that well.

I'm not sure how you'd get the slip though if no one's there...
I'm patient, though.

ps2 emulation is satans emulation.
if your computer is even so much as slightly below some random arbitrary minimum spec (this varies so much you would not believe, there's a game that just can't run well on anything at all, this game is champions of norrath and any other game on the snowblind engine like baldurs gate dark alliance)

orrrr, if it's being shipped via usps first class it's gonna be in their mailbox.
and since it's a memory card it's being shipped via first class. i don't think i've seen a first class usps package not end up in the mailbox, only time they ever deliver it to your door is if it's their package option (cant remember what it was) and you have no large mailbox compartment for them to store it in. that's the only time they leave the yellow slip is if they can't deliver it then.

I'm not sure how you'd get the slip though if no one's there...

mailbox, not like you're gonna end up with the slip anyways because the package itself WILL be in the mailbox.

Reminder this is being sent to a workplace, not a home
I don't think they even have a mailbox

Leave it in the mailbox?  They may also try to leave the package there if it fits in the slot/box.

Everyone has a mailbox of some sort.  If it is a business, it receives mail.

never heard of a business that doesn't have a mailbox or someone inside the building that will accept the mail.
