[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8215415, member: 105571"]Not a coin but rather a car part. Tracking showed it delivered into my residential mailbox on Wednesday last week. I saw the delivery and immediately went to the mailbox and the part wasn't there. The next day, I met the mail carrier and he had the box with him and he signed for it in my presence as he handed me the box. When asked, he said he did not have it the day before. So, the question is, if the mail carrier or the addressee has to sign for it before it can be acknowledged in the system as "delivered", how did this package show as being delivered the day before it was actually delivered and actually signed into the system as delivered? One explanation is that the "signature" he looked like he was applying to his hand-held was actually a sham and he had performed all his "sign-ins" at a convenient time to him that was unrelated to the actual delivery. We used to call that "radioing your readings". These are the kinds of things, among others, that cause the USPS to suffer a lack of credibility among the population.[/QUOTE]
