Proof of Delivery...

[DuffTime]

So, I now know that my mailman will not deliver items requiring Proof of Delivery to my door. He just leaves notice in the mailbox and goes on his way. Never had that happen before.

Bottom line: The reo has to wait until tomorrow.

Bummer!

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Dang. That's only happened to me once. Sorry to hear that.

 

[DuffTime]

Yeah...

My mail goes into locked boxes (apartment complex) so I wonder if it's possible to get Rob to send packages out without PoD. I work nights so I may not even be able to make it to the post office tomorrow, as the paper says it won't be available until after 5:000. I'm guessing he meant 05:00. It might be a 9. Hell, I don't know. I'm just pestered, thats all.

Rob only sends the REOs with Proof of Delivery. If you order a RM2 or extra parts or attys/cartos....they'll come in a padded envelope that you don't have to sign for. The REOs are high-dollar items....want to make sure they get to where they're going.

What I do on the days that I get a notice and I'm not home......I take that piece of paper to my Post Office about 10 minutes before they close, and ask for it. Usually the mailman has been back awhile by then, and so far I've never had a problem. So.....if you live relatively near your P.O., you might give it a go. You could have a wonderful evening........just sayin'.

 

[DuffTime]

Yeah, that's my plan. I just have to wait until tomorrow. I work nights, 4pm to 2am. In the future ill probably just watch the mailbox around the time he usually comes and them pick it up that day.

Best solution is to convert your mail carrier to a being a vaper that's what we did and made sure he knows that those little packages are often times vape mail and now he doesn't mind getting out and coming to the door now. We sometimes open the packages together so he can see what I got. Of course you have to have a VERY trustworthy mail carrier for this or you might find your vapemail disappearing!

My tracking says Notice Left, but there's no notice in sight.
Yes, I am whining about this all over ECF.

I think my mailman does stuff like that to get even with me. He never was happy about all those flat rate boxes full of lead bullets. It's not like I'm the one who set the weight limit so high. Seventy pounds isn't that heavy after all. LOL!

Is his name Newman?

Yeah, I got the dreaded orange card too Duffman, & it said available for a next day 9am pick up. You might could get it earlier but I donno.

That seems like ages ago, doesn't it? REOs bend the space time continuum.

 

[FogHawg]

hehe. Yes maam.

It can't be. Newman has resigned himself to wasting cyber storage space by posting biased, disgruntled and misleading videos that no one could stand to watch more than 30 seconds of.

All you need is a cheap 80's lamp (placed behind you) some plastic shelving and a camera. You don't even need a whole brain.

I, too, suffered from lazy mailman syndrome. He used to sneak the orange slip into the mailbox on days I KNEW the item was out for delivery and I was working from home (stalking the mailbox all day), JUST so he didn't have to walk up a flight of steps.

I started placing a note on the mailbox that I'm here all day to sign for packages... now if he's feeling lazy he'll just leave it in the box, knowing I'll just make him deliver it the next day anyways (I always set up for redelivery as my local post office is the portal to the 7 hells).

I feel your pain and can definitely relate. I live on a rural route and my regular mailman is squared away. I reward him with a $20 spot every Christmas because I take my vapemail way seriously. But sometimes I get this lady (must be on his days off) and she drives me nuts. My first provari came PoD, I was home all day waiting for it but she never left it in the mailbox, never came up to my porch to ring the bell, never even left the confirmation slip in the mailbox. I went down to the PO that afternoon and raised a big stink in front of God and everybody. She claimed that she tried to deliver it but I wasn't home. Bald-faced lying about it when actually she was just in too big a rush (or too lazy) to pull in my driveway, walk 20ft up on to the porch and ring the bell.

The next time I was due for a sign for delivery, I was in hiding in my garage with my cell phone video waiting to see if she tried to deliver. If not, I was going to drive straight to the PO with video proof she wasn't doing her job. Lucky for me (and her I suppose) it was Mark, my regular carrier that day. He pulls right in to deliver so I just met him in the driveway.

When my first Reo came, I was doing the recon at my front window with binos. My road dead ends so the carrier always goes all the way down, turns around and then comes back up doing the deliveries. When I saw the female driving, I actually walked out and was standing at my mailbox waiting for her. lol, I told you I take my vapemail dead seriously.

Rest assured, I'll be standing at the front window with my binos come Wednesday or Thursday when my copper vein is due in.

 

[Cahdek]

I THOUGHT I had the day off. When I found that I didn't, a strong stomach bug suddenly came over me . Far too sick to go to work....

 

[debzcf]

You really hid in your garage? hahahaha....that mail lady have better NOT screw up.

 

[darkzero]

Although I don't recommend this & of course it's your responsibility I making the decision.. For my VV Grand that I just got recently, I asked Robert if he could send it without signature delivery so when I got home that day my VVG was happily waiting for me & I was very happy I didn't have to go tbrough the hassle of pick up. But I explained to Robert that there is no worry of theft where I live. Better safe than sorry & I think it's great how Robert ships. Signature delivery is much safer than just adding insurance to a shipment.

I always have to get a ride to the Post Office, will be trying to get my Black Wrinkle Grand tomorrow. Our mail boxes are to far for me to walk to and have to get a ride there,then have to wait for the mail delivery to get back to the Post Office. When I move i want to make sure i get a mailbox in front of my home!!!

Our mail lady is great. The day husband's grand was delivered we had about 4 other packages come, 3 vapemail and a set of floorboards for our Spyder - those were heavy! There was so much unloading that day, I had to remind her I had to sign for the REO.

When we have large parcels she always pulls into the drive and honks because she knows we're usually home. I do try to meet her at the curb when I know I have to sign. When I got my VVGrand, I met her and she gave me the package and forgot the card, so left it the next day for me to autograph and leave in the box for her.

I did mention to her that her sub isn't always so dedicated. Last year's sub would leave the slip and never bother trying for delivery. She's got a new guy training now. I'm sure she'll set him straight.

We'll be leaving something nice for her in the box for Christmas this year.
