i always thought it was kinda silly when i would read someone was steering out the window for there package to get there. That is untill today. i slept in and missed my package and instead of leaving it outside like normal they took it to the darn post office. But this is what i want to know the note they left on my door says i have to wait till tomorrow to pick it up? does anyone have any experience with this can it be picked up tonight maybe?
24 hour hold at the post office??

They say this since it will still be on the truck till late tonight when the sorters show up and unload/reload the vehicles.
it is going to be in that truck on that route until it goes back to base
so today is probably not going to happen
they usually leave a form that say's they tried to deliver but no one to sign
for it and that they will try again tomorrow..at least that what these here do
otherwise you have to go to the branch office in person and get it
I missed my package also.
They gave me the option to pick it up or sign the sheet for a better time to deliver. I picked it up as the sheet was in the mailbox the day prior and I didn't see it. By the time I found the little paper it was already the next day. I am glad as I would have been anxiously awaiting time to pick it up.

Happens to me on every order . You have to wait for the driver to return to the post office and unload the undelivered packages. If your lucky and it's a small post office you can catch the driver as he/she returns for the day but if your a big city person your s o l.
Very same thing happened to me today... Got the little slip in my maibox, and since I had to go to the post office to ship out a package anyway, I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone... But the truck hadn't come back yet.
Heh, I hate when this happens; I had to deal with it twice this last week.
The funny thing is I was home both times and I swear the mailman never even knocked or rang the bell. Nothing like having to waste gas on a trip to the post office because they were too lazy or too busy to knock.

Hehe, luckily...my Post Office loves me...Typically if I'm not there to sign for the packages I can actually show up (after 3pm, about the time all the guys are back) and I can pick it up right there 
It happened a few times with other stuff I ordered. I *know* I was home when he came but he never knocked or rang bell. I swear that sometimes if it won't fit in my box downstairs he just decides he doesn't want to bring it up and just leaves the note on my door instead. I think it hasn't happened to me with PV related purchases because they are small enough to fit in our complex's locked package drop.
That sucks. They usually have to take it back to the post office and then put it in a designated section for you to pick up.
My lazy postman is the same way. Leaves a note, on the gate (so it can blow away) and won't ring the bell.
I was lucky enough to be in the car going out right after he left my neighborhood once, and saw the road he turned on to next in our subdivision.
The next time he just dropped off a notice, he was surprised when I showed up with my notice as he was filling the curb side mail boxes a 1/4 mile away. I told him I WAS home and handed it to him, and I left with my package.
