Postal Pity Party Table for One!

[Bageone]

I had not one, but TWO packages stolen from my mailbox on Saturday. Over $50 worth of vaping supplies. Thank gawd it wasn't a mod. I have given the USPS a piece of my mind since my mailman seems to think it is perfectly ok to leave my mailbox open with packages hanging out. My mailbox is at the street and they are supposed to walk packages to the house.. yeah right..

Man I am spitting nails!

Thats so wrong!!

 

[CaptJay]

Do you have any comeback? Or are you stuck sucking up the loss?

 

[Bageone]

Stuck.. other than the fact I am gonna sit on my porch with a baseball bat between 11am and Noon each day that I am expecting a package.

Seriously, call the main 800 number to usps and file a complaint with confirmation numbers. Get a history log of your local office screwing you over like mine did.

 

[Bageone]

I think I will call them tomorrow, this is not the first time this has happened and the mailman seems to think it is my fault... Serious issues...He has cost me about $500 so far

Luckily, I have the opposite problem... I keep having to leave large notices on my door and my mailbox for shippers to leave the darn packages... I live in a condo complex and all of us that live here know each other, and we want our packages left at the door with no signature, but they keep retrying to deliver when I'm at work, and then I have to do a mad run to the Post Office/Fedex/UPS to pick up the package because they feel it's "unsafe" to leave by my door.

I always thought it was "policy", that if they cannot close the mailbox, then they have to deliver it to the door....Our guy puts larger packages inside the screen door...Good luck,,,I would be really Pisssssss-off, if I lost that amount of money because your postal man is lazy....

After the first two or three incidents and I started calling headquarters, I also starting keeping my own logs. Here is how I setup my text file logs of my complaints:

usps
Date/Time: 2010/??/?? ??:??pm
800-275-8777 - more options - other information
subject of call: "misdelivered mail" (or missing mail in your case)

waiting for representative
rep came on line at: ??:??pm
rep name:

synopsis and details of call....

confirmation #:
call ended: ??:??pm
------------------------------------------
(and then also keep accurate details of the return calls)

Then they will usually say someone will call you back in a couple days. This REALLY MEANS that some ..... from your local office who couldn't get it right to begin with will be told to talk to you, so gripe at them good. If you're lucky, it'll be the supervisor for that location. On more than one occasion, I had to call headquarters back because they did not call me and that is where the confirmation number comes in handy. I'm not usually an ...... but them screwing up my bills is NOT okay with me. On one occasion I have gotten neighbors mail (medication), and another occasion I got mail that did not even belong to my zipcode. Each of those got their own confirmation numbers too. I wouldn't want my medication to not show up. I hand delivered it next door where it belonged.

Because of this, I also now keep a log of when I paid bills last month so I know when to expect them this month and can contact the appropriate company ahead of time to avoid any late bill hassles.

set up a web cam or video camera on your mail box.. sure it is the same person doing it each time.. then send yourself a box that will fit but the box wont be able to shut. then call the police.

Never ever trust the Post Office. They declared me dead once and it took me at least a year to prove I was still alive!!!!

They returned all my mail marked deceased and I had to contact every body and his brother to prove I was alive.

I am disabled and lost all income because of this.

The post office is evil

Forgot to mention I ticked off the post master. But that was no excuse to kill me off.

 

[Lab]

that sounds like the bmv they messed up my brothers license and put him as a female.. and then they made him pay to fix their mistake and go to a doctor to prove he is a man..

I told him just walk in and drop his pants for them.. when they said they need proof to change it back

 

[Hendry]

I had someone stealing my mail a few months ago. The postal inspectors caught the guy the next day. He was stupid enough to come back and try to steal my mail again, after I had SEEN him.

 

[whiskey]

Your looking at a federal offence! That carrier should be held responsible but his word against yours no doubt. I'd be Flippin!!

OMG lmao.. . I know it's not funny, but thats just rediculous! I can't believe they did that!

 

[suddenly]

Its funny now but it wasn't then. I had to come up with documented proof I was alive. They would not take my word for it. What a mess.
And who gave the post office the right to declare someone dead anywayAfter what I went through it does not surprise me at all that your brother had to pull his pants down to prove he was a man, but that is just so very very ^%*)(*(_)((*&&8-o

Darn I wish he did drop his drawers for those ladies lol

hendry70,

Thats like the guy here in Rochester that gave the bank teller a note to hand over all the money on the back of his own check.
Now is that dumb or is that dumb????

 

[Dmass]

The latest delivery I got had signature required. Not sure why because it was a small envelope.

But that totally sucks!!

 

[suddenly]

Really that is really odd
