    Not sure if its the cold weather or what, but I got two cases opened today for packages delivered damaged, opened and one without contents, and one with some contents missing. Also my mail was delivered to my neighbor today. Nice job USPS! cant wait to find out what else will go wrong today.

    I sent a package Priority Mail, took 8 days to reach destination. At least it got there intact. Sorry for your loss, did you have them insured?

    I get my neighbor's mail almost every day! My delivery people are horrible. Also, somewhat of a side note - When did USPS delivery people stop wearing uniforms?

    No I'm self insured. They were not expensive items, so Its not a big deal, just annoying

    I got my neighbors heart meds not too long ago. I delivered it to him in person.

    They are HORRIBLE lately. Had a time sensitive package get lost and take 8 days to reach a location that was an hour and half away, and also had one get stuck in a loop processing error and arrived 2 weeks late. Both of these happened within the last couple weeks

    Sorry for the lost packages. That always is a bummer. I had a expensive braclet go off the grid for 1-1.5 weeks....went in all kinds of crazy directions before finally making it to AZ.....even sent it registered. Mine was in the last month also. Still better than fed ex though

    I belive those are temporary employees. After 90 days if USPS wants to keep them, they're hired as regulars and get the uniforms. Or at least that's how it used to work.

    Thanks. One of the "temporary employees" flicks his cigarette butts near my mail box almost every day. Hate that guy.

    I've been waiting for a package from NGC for a week. I know that is typical for registered mail, but the tracking has not been updated since it departed Sarasota last Thursday.

    Save them all up. Put them in a package and give them back at Christmas time. I think he'll get the message.

    Same happened to me last package from ANAC's. Left Co. and didn't show up again in tracking until it hit Albany, N.Y. FedEx.

    All week I've been having issues with them also. They first failed to deliver two boxes from Amazon that were supposed to be delivered on Sunday via the new Amazon Sunday delivery and guaranteed for Prime shipping. Figured I'd get them on Tuesday but they never showed and the tracking has went dead. Amazon reshipped the items but that's roughly $400 in items that disappeared. I was also supposed to receive two packages on Tuesday with coins. One was signature required and the other was simply a first class package. Although it had one of the back dated 1/10 oz proof AGE's I've been purchasing that I missed when issued. Well the mailman never even rung my bell or knocked and simply placed a delivery card for signature in our locked mailbox and didn't deliver any of our other mail that day. I got the signature required package today but the other one with a 1/10 oz AGE has gone missing according to the local post office I spoke with today. So 3 packages in one week have all disappeared. Coincidentally in the past two weeks we've had two new mail carriers delivering also perhaps related.

    My order from ANACS in Co. to me in PA left on the 17th and arrived on the 19th. Wow just 2 days and it was registered mail. Go figure it usually takes 5 to 7 working days

    I wrote a letter to myself and attached it to the mailbox out front with a clothes pin. I received it one hour later. Now that was speedy. It was good to hear from myself. I tried calling but I kept getting a busy signal.

    I love in a small town (400-500). I've lived here 12 years and never seen a uniformed person deliver mail to my box. They even drive their cars with a US Mail decal and a light attached to the roof.

    Last Saturday I received my neighbors mail, so I went over to see if she had my stuff. She did not. She had her other neighbors mail. So I went to my other neighbors.....bam!! There was my coins :D since January, I've received one package delivered as planned by the tracking number. They have been between 1 and 3 days late
