I would call the post office, they are surprisingly helpful. I believe the term is not certified mail but registered mail. Registered mail is how you ship valuable stuff. Insured, the shipper can for a fee demand a signature on delivery. Priority mail, it can be tracked and for an extra fee insured. Was it insured? Did you pay with a credit card? You can dispute the charge. You will find they too are helpful. Shipping to an incorrect address is a common scam. I would not accuse the postal carrier. That is for the post office people to investigate.
