This is a reflex action for them. They really don't know much about the level of detail you can track online. They also tend not to know that it moves through the system slower. Telling you expected delivery date is just another reflex action. You can see some of the stops, but not all of them. The PO has access to more detailed tracking for registered mail than you do. They're supposed to. Chances are they don't know that. Of course, maybe they just don't care. I've received registered packages sealed with plastic packaging tape, too, but the clerks aren't supposed to accept that for registered mail.
Here are a portion of the regulations concerning receipt of USPS mail, which I'm considering initiating a class action, based on your/others expert knowledge, publicly stated by you and others to not be correct in dictation of authority. It's believed, I will need yours/others contrary facts of stated postal authority, to be personally documentally presented in a hearing: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/index/statute/S10804056?year=2022 JMHO
Is it a Federal Crime to tamper with the mail and/or mailbox? My wife was a high school teacher and one of her students and their friends went around a couple of nights, destroying mailboxes with a baseball bat.
I have lived in a rural area all my life. At the same time I did contractor work for more than 70 Post Offices in our little shire. Every once in a while a Post Master would tell me about having a rash of mail box smashes. (The myth is that some farmer filled his mailbox with cement and the baseball fellow ends up being the one destroyed but every single Post Master said it was bunk.) The county mounties are suppose to catch the evil doers and sometimes that is just what they do. I don't know what the punishment is. James
Thanks for the info. Our "letter-carrier" would leave the note telling me that I would have to pick up my package at the Post Office. In order to pick up a package, I have to travel about 50 miles round trip. The "letter-carrier" suggested that I request to have ALL my packages be held at the post office and pick them up all my packages once a week. Amazon delivers packages to my home as do most ebay purchases. If any ebay purchases are kept at the post office, I just pick them up with other packages. Besides, I enjoy going to our post office. Our Post-Mistress is a "babe". (nothing dirty meant) At 75, I enjoy talking to her.
You seemingly haven't understood much, been supplied with regulations and other proof that a Postmaster/postal-employees have control of our mail, which it's believed, legally can't be delivered by any others! If a the registered shipment is sent to an address without a qualified Federal/State statute dictated receiver "box", where would a message be sent, who would pay for an unauthorized ("No Returns" Seller policy) action? The shipment may possibly be returned to sender, or become lost/destroyed, of which I've seen several "options"! This quandary of who/whom is responsible for a "receiver", required to be placed on a public road, has been addressed by "Police" and USPS for some time, without resolution! Please keep your seemingly limited knowledge STATEMENTS to yourself, as stated in your words, you just don't understand (i.e. post 28)! JMHO
