Hating USPS right now

[Nardonius]

So the title is rather self explanatory. Ordered over $100 worth of liquid and hardware about a week ago. USPS Tracking says it was delivered on Thursday (actually it said Left Notice @ 4:53 then Delivered @ 4:58) but lo and behold no package was in my mailbox or at my doorstep. Mailman hadn't dropped it at the office either that day or Friday. Called the Post Office and was told that today the drive was going to make sure that it hadn't been put in the wrong box (my complex has big metal boxes with about 16 different apartments per slot), but again, mailman goes by and no box in my mailbox. So it appears either the guy put it in the wrong mailbox, lost the darn thing, or someone stole it off my doorstep. Which sucks on more levels than i care to count. I'm almost out of juice (have about 1/4 of an 1/8th oz of Root Beer left) and am almost out of usable cartos. I was really looking forward to more Sweet Tea and Lemonade....was gonna try mixing them for a lemonade iced tea flavor.... that and I have a few other flavors I don't really like to vape on their own, but was going to mix with both of the aforementioned liquids... Oh well guess i gotta put another order in so I can have some juices quickly.

Sorry for the rant just needed to vent

That bites. I've had a few orders go to Richmond, TX rather than Richmond, VA but they found their way back.... eventually

Ugh! That's horrible, Nardonius! It might be worth checking with your neighbors, as good neighbors will do the right thing. If it doesn't turn up, leave a note for me with your next order and I'll throw in some extra samplers to ease the pain a little.

Yep I had that happen with my mailman. My sister purchased me 50 ml of juice for my birthday for a juice I loved at the time. Never got it. Mailman claimed he delivered it. I waited outside for him one day and almost had an altercation over it in my driveway. He was useless still is useless and I made several complaints about the issue to my postmaster. I now have a new younger mailman and he always gets it right. I hate useless people who can't do a simple job weather it be flipping a burger, washing a car, delivering mail, or manning a cruise ship.

Thank you Annette, in case I haven't said it before, you absolutely rock! Best customer service ever! And it looks like I'll be knocking on doors tomorrow...

That's a shame, Nardonius. I hope you find your package. Delivery people make mistakes just like everyone else and sometimes they don't want to admit it.

Was hoping to check in and see good news. Any luck?

 

[Nardonius]

Unfortunately no. I still have to make some more rounds to talk to neighbors. At this point the mail carrier "doesn't remember" any packages for my address on the day in question. There were several on my street but thats as much as he knows. The post office hasn't "given up" yet but they are essentially baffled as to what happened to my package. I think in this situation insurance wouldn't even help as its listed as delivered and its my word versus theirs. There's one more avenue I can try with the post office (which I just thought of while writing this) and as I said i still have to talk to more neighbors, but I've pretty much given up at this point. I've got another order going in today for a small subset of what was in the box... ah well no use crying about it so I guess I'll move on =D.

That really sux big time! The USPS hasn't screwed up any of my packages ever but I've had that happen with other companies and its so annoying. Fortunately those companies are ultimately responsible so I always got either a refund or my package in the end. I'd be climbing walls if USPS screwed up one of my vaping packages with no remedy available. I hope you have some good luck coming your way to make up for this.

FWIW, I had the same "left notice" BS on their tracking too. The package didn't require a signature and I was home at the two times they said they tried to deliver the package. Like you, they also did not leave a notice. It ended up being delivered the next day though. I hope they or you find it soon!

 

[Nardonius]

well turns out it got delivered somewhere else, but the person was good enough to write "delivered to wrong address" on it and it finally made its way to me yesterday! Soooooo happy! YAY!

 

[Annette Rogers]

Yay! I'm so glad this had a happy ending!

What that means is your carrier forgot to deliver the package so he scanned it that way so he didn't get in trouble.

YAY!!!So happy too hear this! At least you got an extra week's steeping time
