I just checked tracking on my Igo-L from OKC to make sure I'm around when mail comes. Guess what? Delivered today as well.

I'm so ...... right now.

Wow! I would be so mad too! I don't know what you can do other than call the PO but it seems you have already been doing that. Looks like it might be time to find some new diggs. :(

Sorry to hear of your delivery troubles, Bogey. Having worked in shipping for the past couple of decades, I have seen more than a few examples of things being mis-delivered, but what you are describing is a recurrent problem. I would also suggest that you get a PO box, since this might increase your chances of getting your orders. Best of luck!

So pay them extra to avoid their incompetence? Also drive to po box every time I get a delivery because of their incompetence? Nice racket eh?

So now I have to wait another week to get new deliveries if the vendor even ships a new one?

Also tomorrow I have a used SVD coming from a user here. If that gets mis delivered then what? I'm just out 40 bucks? He obviously can't re ship. I sold a bunch of stuff so I can re stock my e cig stuff which I haven't done in over a year. This is becoming a real pita. I was excited this week for vapemail and 50 percent of it is in someone else's hands.

Speaking of which, I'm in shock at the dishonesty of the people that live here. Who keeps someone else's package?

What are the chance the PO gives me a free Po box for the bs I've put up with this week?

This is what happened to my most recent package from GLV...

tracking fail.jpg

I live in San Jose and the post office it was at is about 12 miles from me. Instead of delivering it to me, they sent it to florida after it sat there for 3 days...

I used to do that too. Then I was laid offa month ago so that's not an option.

I'll be waiting today.

I called again because yet another package was mis delivered. Lady at post office said she will personally bring my two packages today to my door a tad after 1pm. I have a bad feeling about this.

Not that it will matter. My wire, my mod, my igo-l are all lost.

Did you at least receive it? I'm not getting anything. Delivered. I hope they go out of business. The incompetence seriously makes my blood pressure rise to unsafe levels!

Not yet. Lol. It's stuck in a loop of processing and departing that same facility in florida... GLV did resend a new package though.

OMG. Something really is very wrong.

Time for a talk w/carrier and postmaster of whatever PO center your carrier picks up your mail at.

1) Does your mailbox have a lock and key?

2) or is it just delivered onto a big table or something?

If lock and key, then carrier is putting in wrong box.
If no lock and key, ie. mail is unsecured, you can't very well blame USPS. Or your carrier?

I don't know why you would want the entire USPS system to go under if this is just a carrier and/or unsecured mail situation? :(

Obviously, USPS is getting your mail from the sender to the Post Office center where you reside.

I was just telling myself how much I hate USPS yesterday. Got a package coming from Cali to Ohio, where I live. Most cases it goes straight from Cali to the main city next to me, then to me the same day. Last two times it went to lower Michigan than back to Chicago, then back to the same place in Michigan then to the city next to me. Delaying 2-3 days delivery time.

Quite a few times delayed even more when they only leave a notice instead of following the note posted on my door to leave on my screened in porch. I work the same hours as the post office is open, so I have to wait until the following Saturday to be able to get my goods

I did that a while ago actually it doesn't help. I'm pretty sure she is stealing. Confirmed by other workers at that office. I guess I'm not the only one complaining to them. Postmaster came out looked in every box for me and no trace of my delivered packages. I love how they're not fixing the problem either. I've got a bunch of juice on the way which I probably won't see either. Just in time for Christmas shipping season too. Lovely.

Interfering with the mail is a federal crime, even when federal employees are doing it.

Pursue it every way you can.

The USPS doesn't want to put up with thieves in their midst but they don't have the resources to push like an individual with a lawyer or the media can.

Not sure what else I can do other than make calls. I was laid off over a month ago now so I don't have the funds for a lawyer or anything like that. It just sucks when I anxiously wait for stuff and it shows delivered, but NEVER shows....
Do you have a local news station with an "On Your Side" segment?

OOOhhh that's not a bad idea right there :) I'm gonna call tomorrow and let him know ONCE AGAIN another package shows "delivered" yet is not in my box nor anyone else's box as they came out and checked every single box for me. If they don't make it right, I'll have to call some news stations :) Man this is getting old. How much you wanna bet I don't get my 6 bottles of juice, my kanthal re-send, and OKC still hasn't gotten back to me about a re-ship. I really can't afford to be giving my money away.
