<p>[QUOTE="SilverSurfer, post: 858005, member: 21603"]Good advice. I agree UPS and Fed ex might be better, but I have one of those boxes that opens up with a key by the postcarrier. He uses it to open the box and all of my neighbors boxes open up as well. If UPS or Fed ex were to come to my residence, they would have a locked mail box to deal with. They wouldn't be able to open it to leave me a message that my package has arrived and they can't leave it if I'm not home to sign for it. In other words, the USPS has a monopoly on delivering my mail.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree that the package probably was delivered, but to a neighbor. Sometimes when I wasn't home, I'd come home and there would be my package, left in front of the security door that leads into the hallway of my apartment. A hallway shared by 4 other occupants. Did someone take my package that was simply left at an unsecured location....it's anybodies guess. One time I had a neighbor hand me a package that they said the Post carrier had given to them. A post carrier gave them my package? WTF. When this neighbor happened to be in the process of moving, I had two packages that I never got. It turns out that the postal carrier had handed my packages to this neighbor. When I asked him if he had my package, he said no. How can I accuse him when the postal service just hands him packages with my name on it, yet he denies getting them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would make sense to only deliver packages to the people whose name is on them, or to leave a card that states package is at the post office, ready for pick up. But giving your packages to your neighbors to give to you....WTF![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
