I've shipped over 15,000 packages while selling on eBay and Amazon in the past decade. Very few of them were lost; I only recall about 5 or 6 packages that had to be replaced and reshipped The ones that shipped overseas were the ones most likely to go missing. I'd say there may be a dishonest employee working in your postal office if this many packages are not being delivered. Also, is there a possibility of a neighbor snagging them?
Anyone else having issues with USPS?

I think I am going to be S.O.L. with my problem. I raced home early today to talk to the mailman and he said there is no designated carrier for my area, he said it was an open route that I could have a different mail-person everyday. He did take my name and address and said he would report it but he didn't feel confident that they would be able to do anything about it.
I will still make another report and go to the post office as well but I'm not going to hold my breath with these people.
I don't know if anyone would take them, I know the few mailmen that get my packages here come up to the door to leave the pkgs...I have 2.5 sets of stairs from the front sidewalk to my front door so while I keep the mailbox at street level, packages usually come to the door and sometimes between the storm & front doors, which I love! lol Why can't they all do that?

This is why I refuse to do another co-op regardless of the several requests I've gotten. I literally had nightmares that all the packages would get lost. Thank the lord they all made it. One successful co-op is all I needed! I'm ending on a good note, lol
And you did great! Thank you!
I've been thinking about doing co-ops and this is a very real fear of mine. I send packages every day with my business and have a tremendous success rate in delivery, but knowing my luck, if I did a co-op, all hell would probably break loose!
Cassie, just double checking our PM's.... the big package I sent DID arrive on time and safely? I am so sorry you have had such a run of bad luck/service. Out here in the boonies where we still have Pony Express riders everything takes forever but fresh horses always seem to get it here eventually!

LOL oh yes Ma'am! and I LOVE my pink Riva =) I got a cone from LF to match so I am a happy camper. Got the other stuff from classifieds also, thanks!
It's funny, nothing I have shipped has ever gotten lost (that I was aware of) One item arrived broken years ago but I promptly refunded that.
It is just the stuff coming to me that gets lost, my luck! LOL

Last Saturday my mailbox was filled with the neighbor's mail. I have had other neighbors come to me w/my mail delivered to them. Wish I made as much as a mail carrier and didn't have to do my job right either. I know of other people w/delivery confirmations that never received their packages. All a carrier has to do is scan it and put it whatever box they are at. Fools.
so true - the last one i did calamity's pony express had me on the edge of my seat, lol. and even with all the disclaimers i know i would still feel somehow responsible ....
