USPS tracking says package was delivered to my mailbox, but it wasn't.

I know that's the company line and what they always tell people, but it is incorrect and never how the law has worked. It's just their way of trying to get people to oppose it

No I posted a CNBC (hardly a conservative organization) piece that laid out how it actually works that just happened to end with an interview with him about it which was in 2011........

It's one of countless ones you can find if you get out of the propaganda garbage but I'm not going down this rabbit hole any further with you.

I have several friends who have a combined over 40 years of Postal Service. I tend to respect their views on it since they've dealt with it for years.

 

Unfortunately, many sellers on different platforms do not ship to PO Boxes. But, yes, I have also personally found that using a PO Box rectifies these kinds of situations much more quickly. And, I use my PO Box for every shipment where the seller ships to such.

 

I was sitting on my porch once and my mail got delivered.
Then a short time later I got the text that my package was delivered.
but it wasn't.
The carrier scanned the several packages that he was going to deliver, then he delivered them on a second pass.

So .. I always wonder if they mix up packages and deliver them to the wrong place how you actually track it. This is probably a reason Amazon takes pictures of your packages on your porch, which is kinda freaky to me.

I used to have a PO BOX for securing mail items. If one deals in coins in any way it is best to use a PO BOX. But Fedex (unless you have a Smart Post option), UPS etc won't deliver to a PO BOX because it's at the post office .. why would they because they'd have to pay some form of postage?

 

Hi all, I had same problem with you . I had to go back and forth between the seller and P.O . I just give up at the end. I really do think the mailman put my coin in his pocket

 

Why would you not leave positive feedback? The seller did their part.

 

UPS and occasionally FedX and even the daily US Post Office guy are going to the wrong street. My condo complex has 3 roads and I get mail for the street number and apartment number for the other streets. Happens every few weesk/months.

 

There was a nice looking car delivered to my house the other day. I was wondering who parked it there. Wrong street.

 

Too much politics people. Posts removed. Jim

 

Lol a week after it happened. Someone must be having a bad night

 

Or just you looking for someone to pick a fight with.

 

I just simply enjoyed that posts from literally 7 days ago were all of a sudden edited given how this week went. It made me laugh

 

I'd like to thank you. I never knew that. Just this week, I was notified that a package was delivered when, in reality, it wasn't. I remembered reading your post about the GPS and went to the P.O. Sure enough, the manager checked it and confirmed to me that it was delivered elsewhere (but said their policy prohibits them from telling me that address). Thankfully, I remembered your post. Otherwise, I thought it would've been my word against theirs.

 

You know the truth. Enough said.

 

Tell ya what happened to me last April.....was expecting a very expensive lens from Nikon. I'd been waiting months on this thing and they finally sent it out. Got the email notification with the tracking number and began to follow the progress of the package. Finally, on game day, the tracking shows the package is 'out for delivery'. Great, I says. I continue to check the tracking throughout the day and at one point the info shows that the package has been delivered. Yippie, yay.......I check the front door.....nothing. Now I'm freaking out. I call UPS (yup, my Alma Mata) and they say they'll send the driver back to my house. The driver shows up, and he can't seem to recollect a lick.

Now, back in my day (I was a package driver) I took pride in my work and making sure that each package reached it's rightful destination. That's not to say that I didn't make mistakes, or misdeliver something on occasion, but the time stamp of the delivery, and my inquiry to UPS couldn't have been more than 15 minutes. This guy couldn't remember where he had delivered my package to. Short term memory shot. My God, you have no recollection of the delivery? Go back into your bloody DIAD and determine where you were 15 minutes ago.

Driver said he would get back to me. He never did. I called the 1-800 number repeatedly and they eventually said that the package had been delivered one street over from me. They gave me the address. I drove over. I knocked on the door and a nice lady answered. Yes, she indeed had my package. She also stated that she intended to deliver my package to me (But that's the UPS guys responsibility, right?). Anyway, I get the package in hand and the dear lady relates to me that her husband works for Nikon, and gets a ton of packages everyday from them. So my driver 'assumed'.......ain't seen that poor excuse for a delivery person since........

 

I see some UPS drivers take photos of the package on my front door these days.

 

Why would that be?

 

Had my wife mail my new truck tags to me across country as I hadn't been home in a couple weeks and suspected that it would be several more. USPS tracking said that they delivered them, but they didn't deliver them to me. I had the hardest time dealing with the post office who said they couldn't help because someone had signed for it.

I had them send me a copy of the signature. I didn't know anyone by that name, so I Googled the name. Found the guy's Facebook page and found where he worked posted there.

Googled the company and it turned out to only be a couple blocks away from where I had my mail sent. I went there and there was a receptionist in the lobby, when I asked how to find that company, she had a strange look and said, the company isn't actually here, but they leased one floor of the building for their mail room.

I told her my story and asked if that guy worked there, but she didn't know. She had the door man escort me to their office and help get me buzzed in. I asked for that guy and he was in a meeting so a lady asked if she could help. I explained what had happened and she said that all of the mail that came there was stamped with that guy's signature. I learned that this place was a central mail office for a national life insurance company.

Anyway the lady went from desk to desk asking if anyone had seen it, there were at least a hundred desk in there, quite possibly two hundred. After about 20 minutes she came to me with my mail in her hand. It had been opened because, as she explained, there was a receiver that cuts open all the mail without reading it. She asked me to make sure that it was all there and it was. My tags, registration, and new insurance card were all in there.

 

Dont be so salty all the time, life’s much more enjoyable laughing about running things

 

Probably for photographic evidence? Unless it's done only by my particular UPS man. I had assume they download the image to a company database or something.
