I need someone to call me back on this issue please. I thought this issue was closed, but apparently not. Someone from Consumer Affairs called me, and after speaking to her, Lolita, she fixed what we thought was the problem. She said there was still a change of address on file in the computers, and she was going to remove that, so all the mail would go to my local post office and they would have to sort it by hand. Lolita contacted OHFA for me and sent them a fax so I could be put back on the housing waiting list, because I was removed from the list due to the Warr Acres Post Office errors.
Now, Tiffany from OHFA called me again today saying she sent me a letter to tell me I was put back on the waiting list. I would not lose my 2-year waiting status, and it was once again returned! So, is this just retaliation now because I called consumer affairs on them? I cannot believe they are so incompetent. They cannot read the difference between Diane ** (previous tenant) and Mary ** (current tenant). What is it I need to do to get my mail from this post office? I had to go down to have my vehicle registration resent and pay for it again, and I haven't gotten it again. So that must mean my vehicle registration was sent back yet again, and I am going to have to pay for it a 3rd time to be resent.
Can someone please call me back ASAP to get this straightened out?

About a month ago, I sent a package back to a company for a refund on the product I bought. I had a 120 day money back guarantee and I sent it 2 days before that expired. I talked to a representative at this company and she said that as long as she can track the package, proving that I sent it in time, I would get the refund.
I want USPS to refund my money due to their negligence.

On February 19, I received a Priority Mail box that had been ripped open all the way down on one side and taped back together after the sender had mailed it. The clear packing tape used to tape it back together was put right over the top of the postage label, so it had to happen after it was accepted for shipment. Out of 6 antique crystal goblets, two were completely smashed, as in smashed flat.

The mail person decided to stop delivering mail to our address just because she has to swing the driveway gate out of the way for about 4 inches to stick the mail in the slot. The mail box is not hidden, but the slot is partially blocked so the mail person does not have an easy time inserting the mail in the slot.
I agree that the slot needs to be easy access, but it was totally rude and unprofessional that we had to find out for ourselves that the mail is being held in the office for that reason. We have many late bills penalties to pay because of this attitude from the post office. We demand an apology and full reimbursement to all our late fees due to this unnotified stop of deliveries from USPS in Garden Grove.

The postal carrier claimed he was bitten by our dog, but no report has been filed with humane society. The supervisor came out next day to my home and took pictures. I’ve called humane society. No report has been filed, no police have been called, and no letter from post office. We are only being told our mail is on hold by our mail carrier and are not able to reach postmaster. At this time, the dog has been relocated to my son’s home in City of Rialto. Still, I am unable to receive mail or any cooperation from the post office.
We are not receiving mail; I am under doctor’s care and cannot receive medication or doctor’s appointments and my utility bills.

On Monday, January 24, 2011 at 1:33 p.m. at the named post office above, I mailed a large package going to Claxton, Georgia. As of to date, my package has not reached its destination. I have spoken to the post office several times regarding this matter. After providing them the requested information, I am told that someone will call me back. No one calls back.
This coming Monday, February 21, 2011 will be 4 weeks since mailing the package. I really don't understand how this could happen. Most of all, I am disappointed in the lack of care from the United States Postal Service. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I sent an item I sold on eBay on January 31th, 2011. The package tracking was never updated, and now, when I track, message says I can't track online. The customer service is a joke. It takes 5 minutes to finally talk to a "human". They're very unhelpful and rude. Something needs to be done about this. I now have to refund the buyers money. Nobody cares and they're basically just giving me the tough luck speech with everyone I talk to.

I am a daycare provider and work from my home. My job is to pick up and drop off kids from school. I have an assistant in all times to care for the kids that are at home, while I pick up or drop off kids. On Jan 27, 2011, I was on my way to pick up kids, and when I returned to the house, my assistant Ana told me that Laura, a post office employee, had called the police on my assistant claiming that there was no one at home. My assistant told me that she had gone to the trash can that is located on my backyard. When she walked in to the house she had found Laura inside and Ana asked her what she was doing inside the house, Laura told Ana that she had called the police because there was no one inside the house.
My assistant asked Laura why she would do that, that how did she know there was no one home? Laura replied that she had walked in in every room and open them to check if someone was in. My assistant replied, "Don't you see me coming from inside the house?" Laura replied. "You know that you are lying". Laura did not stop there but she also was passing to my house every five minutes. I went to the post office and the supervisor, Bea, was no help at all. She was very ruse to me and she told me to do whatever I wanted, that her employee had already told her the story. She did not bother to listen to me.

I moved second week in January and put a change of address in at that time. At the new address, there was a card in the mailbox to the new tenants. They wanted us to fill out the names of the people to receive mail at the new address. I filled it out, in full, first and last names, gave it to the new carrier. Since being here I have not receive any mail. I just got a phone call from Section 8 housing after I informed them of my new address that my mail was returned to them, saying "Moved. Left no forwarding address." And that they had dropped me from the waiting list after I have been on that list for over two years! When I got my cable service started, the guy on the phone asked me if I was related to Diane ***. I said, "No. Why?" He said that was the name of the person who had service before me. Okay, now it's clicking. They saw the name Jones and have returned all my mail. They did not look at my change of address nor did they look at the service card I filled out, that says MY name Mary A *****.
Okay, now I know what happened, and the Section 8 lady said I need to get a letter from my post office, stating they returned my mail in error. She told me to call the post master. So I called him and he said he would speak to the carrier but he would NOT write me a letter. He said they don't do that sort of thing. So, I asked him if we could do a 3-way call between me, him and section 8 and he could tell him they don't write letters for that. He refused. He said tell section 8 to re-send the letter. So I called the Section 8 lady, Tiffany, back and she says they cannot re-send the letter because the letter was sent out to active people on the waiting list. Since my mail was returned, they made me INACTIVE and therefore she cannot re-send the letter. The only thing that will get me back on the list in my old spot is a letter from my post office. She also told me that although the Post Office does not have a "form" for the letter she needs, stating my mail was returned in error. She has a file FULL of letters from other post masters and managers that some are on regular paper with a stamp from that post office and some are on official letterhead, stating that they made an error in returning someone's mail. So the fact is the Post Master can do it, he is just refusing to do it.

I filed 2 complaints with the post office. My mail is constantly delivered to my neighbors or not at all. Mail that is given to my neighbors are sometimes time sensitive and have resulted in my responding late. Packages have never arrived. Repeatedly, I have requested that a notice be left and my packages taken to the post office, but I find them on my doorstep, those that make it to me, at least. I am incredibly frustrated. I have not received so much as a call back. When I phoned the main Us Postal line, a representative read a response letter she said was being mailed to me. It never arrived, so I am left to believe my complaints were dismissed. I would like to file a federal complaint.

On Oct. 18, 2010, we sent a package of personal items from Amsterdam, Netherlands to our Home in Hoschton, GA. On Oct. 22, 2010 at 12:14AM, it was released from customs to the USPS in Miami, FL. As of Feb. 8, 2011, we still have not received the package. After countless phone calls and emails, we can not get any assistance from the post office. They have possession of our package, but we can not get anyone who even sounds remotely interested in finding our package.

Yesterday, February 7, I was expecting two parcels: one at my home and one at my office. An attempt had been made on Friday, February 4, to deliver the office parcel. On the back of the "UPS InfoNotice" was a notation that to authorize UPS to leave a parcel in my absence, I had to sign my name authorizing them to leave it. I did that and left the paper in plain view on an outside door. When I returned, I found another InfoNotice. After waiting for 15 minutes to talk to a real person, I found that these authorizations are not honoring them because of the fear of theft.
If these authorizations mean nothing, then don't print them! If I thought it would do any good, I would turn the whole mess over to a lawyer who could file suit on a class-action basis. As things stand, I intend to ask for USPS delivery each time I order a parcel. UPS does not know the meaning of the word "logistics."

I went in to apply for a passport but I was misrepresented with information that caused me to be unable to obtain one.

I also showed the order when applying, as what she told me over the phone, before I went to bring it in. I spoke to the post master, Mr. Tom ** about this misrepresentation and he told me that he would refund me the money that they had charged me--$41.50. He told me to see Patty and she would write the refund order up.
We went in today and Allison ** (current post master) talked to Patty. After 22 minutes of keeping us waiting in the front, she rudely and abruptly stated, "No, I am not doing this for you." She stated that Tom no longer works there and made a white comment. I was very upset at this point and asked for her superior. Then, she stated, I will keep you waiting for 10 more minutes, so I said, "if we were Spanish, you would probably help us." At this point, I felt humiliated and discriminated against with her white comment. "Very racial slang." she said.

I ordered a very expensive pair of roller skates on 01/29/11. The shipper immediately dispatched the merchandise on 01/31/11. UPS picked the package up on the same day. Their website initially stated the package had been picked up and it was scheduled for delivery on 01/02/11. It is now the eve of 01/05/11 (10pm 01/04/11) and the UPS website still only has a scan reflecting the package was picked up, nothing more.
I have called their Customer Service department numerous times requesting additional information. Each representative refuses to provide additional information on the package's whereabouts. One representative went so far as to tell me to "keep my fingers crossed and maybe I would receive the package". The country had experienced adverse weather conditions at the time I placed the order. UPS continues to use "weather" as the reason for the delayed (rather lack of) shipment. One rep told me the weather was so bad in Philadelphia that no trucks could travel. I live in Philadelphia. I was driving and it was a bright sunny afternoon when I was speaking to the rep. This is only one example of UPS' many lies.
What added insult to injury was the fact that I had ordered another pair of skates the day after I ordered the skates discussed in this complaint. However, these skates were shipped via FedEx Ground and had to travel a further distance. The skates shipped through FedEx Ground arrived within 2 days with no incident. FedEx, unlike UPS, found a way to still make deliveries in the inclement weather. After 2 days of continuously calling, I decided to visit the local UPS distribution center to see if the package was in their possession. The service representative was completely uncaring, rude, and unprofessional. Once she was tired of discussing my situation she simply walked away from me and begin working on another package without so much as a "have a nice day". This is clearly customary. One of the tracking representatives hung up on me.
In one last ditch effort I called again to request an investigation on the package to only be told they only initiate a search if it is requested by the shipper. I had to do a little bit of "leg work" to determine who the shipper of my package was since the company I ordered from used a distribution center. I had to contact someone at the distribution center and have them re-design the skate within a couple of hours and overnight the package with a Saturday delivery via FedEx. I will never use UPS again. If it’s really important that you receive the package, FedEx is the way to go. UPS is only good for shipping catalogs and advertisements (something you could care less about receiving).

At least once a week my block does not receive mails. When we do, it is often after 7:30 PM. I have lived here for six years and for five years of them my mail was delivered between 9:00 AM-10:00 AM. This past year we don't if know if mails will come. Many elderly people live on this route, and await checks in the mail to eat and pay bills. I called the Riverside post office and spoke with melody. She stated that my address is no longer a regular route, but an auxiliary route. My mail is picked up by whenever a mailperson can after delivering their regular route. Who decides this? It seems to me that paying someone overtime to deliver my mail at 7:30 PM would be much more expensive than assigning a mailperson our route for everyday delivery!

I have filed 3 different complaints with the USPS about not receiving my mail. The first happened right after I moved when my mail wasn't being forwarded correctly. The second complaint was when I was having a package delivered and received no notification that they attempted to deliver it and it had been sitting in the post office for days.
The third and most important complaint was filed last week when my payroll department contacted me that my w-2 was sent back to them stating “return to sender attempted-not known unable to forward". This is puzzling because it clearly has my correct address. I also know i haven't received things such as wedding invitations. I do receive some mail, but I have no way of knowing if I’m receiving all of it.
I called the USPS and complained. They said someone would get in touch with me in 2 business days and no one did. When I placed a follow up call the customer service agent said they still were investigating it and there was nothing I could do. He tried to forward me to a supervisor, who he claims wasn't in. He then suggested I contact consumer affairs. He had neither idea when the case would be investigated nor when I would receive a follow up call.

The driveway is a few hundred yards long. It has not ditch to slide off in on either side or any thing to hit. It is mostly open pasture field.

I sent a box to myself in Boston from the Quincy, IL post office. It arrived in Boston without any of the contents; they had been lost. The box obviously was sitting in water (pictures available if needed), so that the bottom collapsed, and all the items are missing. They have little retail value, but tons of sentimental value as they are items my recently deceased father left to me. Because sentimental value is not reimbursable, and I had previously thought of the USPS as reliable and professional, I did not insure it.
I consider the loss as the fault of USPS mishandling the package, as the integrity of the box was compromised while in their care. I do not want money, only the items and some form of the USPS acting reliably. I sent the USPS (to many different departments related to consumer affairs) descriptions of the objects in the box and sent off the Parcel Search Request.
According to online research, this is a shot in the dark, and people don't hear back from the USPS for months. Imagine my horror when one of the USPS customer service agents (Michelle **) informed me that items worth less than $10 were discarded, and other items were auctioned off after 90 days. I find this policy horrific and tantamount to stealing from their customers. Needless to say, six months later, I received my form back with the "Articles not found" box checked off. Ironically, the envelope had a stamp that said "missent to Jamaica." I live in Jamaica Plain, MA.
As my box was damaged by USPS' neglect, and my items lost with apparently no attempt to reunite them with their original box, it feels like theft to me, and I do consider it theft. I have received little to no help from their customer service line. It seems designed to avoid responsibility. I would love some form of reply and more than that--action. I just want my items from my father. The USPS entered into a contract when I paid for it that you would deliver with a modicum of care. That was not done. There was minimal effort to recover my items, and absolutely no accountability in any way, shape or form.
Joanne has been kind, apologetic, and sympathetic, but has not worked to get any tangible results--return of stolen/lost items, worked towards finding tangible evidence of what occurred, or promoted USPS accountability in any form.

I had two packages go missing this December that were supposed to be delivered to me by the United States Postal Service. One had a tracking number, one had a billing number. The United States Postal Service claims that both were delivered, but I do not have either. They are providing no help for the one that did not have a tracking number and are claiming they are not liable whatsoever because no insurance was purchased.
Perhaps they were stolen by other people in the building, but tampering with USPS stuff is a federal offense. Should I contact the police to do an investigation on the people that live in the building? The United States Postal Service should have delivered the packages to the correct apartment and did not; I believe this it is carelessness on their part.

I finally utilized a different free service which worked quickly and smoothly.

My family sent us Christmas presents that were scheduled to be delivered on 12/24/10 by the US Postal Service. There were instructions not to leave the package on our front door. The package was scanned as delivered on the 24th of December, but we did not receive the package. The post office does not have it at the location in Surprise, AZ and it was not left in a locked parcel locker. I've been in contact with Mario at the Surprise post office, who tried contacting our carrier to see if she remembered what she did with the package. The carrier cannot remember where the package was delivered and didn't seem to care that our Christmas presents never got to us.
The sending party did not insure the package because they believed the package would be left at the post office for us to pick up. If the package was delivered to our door step, the package seemed to have been stolen. But since the carrier cannot say if the package was delivered to the door step or to some parcel locker, I can't confirm that the package was stolen. We are now having a hard time getting the post office to help us locate the package. I have visited the post office in person and I have been calling every couple of days to try to get answers. I have been told by Mario that he will call me back with the next steps to take, but that was about a week ago and I doubt that I will hear back from him since they do not know what happened to the package.

Clerk No. ** happens to be from Puerto Rico, and the Keyport zip code (07735) was changed to Ceiba, Puerto Rico (00735). In this package, I also sent my winter coat and a cloth doll.

I needed to do a 2,100 postcard mailing. Before beginning this process, I brought in a postcard to the Kearny post office to ensure that I was purchasing the appropriate postage for each postcard. I bought 2,100 stamps and sent the postcards out so they would be received in a very specific window. Yesterday, 100 of the postcards were returned for insufficient postage. I went into the Kearny post office this morning to see what went wrong and I was treated as if I had made the error (despite being specifically told that I needed 28 cent stamps for the cards initially). I was totally dismissed and told to expect the remaining 2,000 postcards to be returned in the coming days.
At this point, the postcards will not arrive in the designated time frame that they were to have arrived in and I am being hugely inconvenienced not only by having to return to buy additional postage, but also having to spend many hours to re-stamp/resend the postcards. Additionally, I was treated poorly and dismissed by the counter person at the very same post office that had given me erroneous information that resulted in inconveniencing not only my organization but the 2,100 people who needed to receive this postcard in a timely manner.

I moved into a new home at the above address in November 22. The complex has a bank of mailboxes and new home purchasers should receive the key to their box within a week of moving in. I stood in line at the Highlands Ranch Post Office branch every week for the past 6 weeks asking for the key and picking up my mail. The downtown post office branch is supposed to make keys and deliver it to the branch offices. I still don't have the key and I am still waiting in line for 15, 30, and 45 minutes every week asking if it's in yet as well as picking up my mail. Of course, the post office will not provide me with a name or phone number of the person responsible for making and delivering the keys and I'm fed up. I want the mailbox key now.
As far as I know, I haven't missed a payment on a bill that has not been delivered to a new address. If it turns out that I have, I will take this complaint up the ladder. I find it physically hard to be standing in line 15 to 45 minutes each time at the post office before, during, and after Christmas holiday.

Two weeks after shipment, the person I shipped it to said she had not received it. I contacted my local post office to see if they could help find it.

After 30 days, I went to the local PO to open a claim. They told me that I could go online or fill out a form. No one at this PO could advise me on what my next steps were or who to contact. I had to muddle through that myself. I ended up calling the USPS Customer Service and opened a claim. The person who took my information said someone would get back to me in 48 hrs.
After that time, I had not heard from the PO so I called them. The Customer Service person told me the resolution on my case was that the PO was going to do nothing to find the package and would not reimburse any money because I didn't buy insurance.

When speaking with the supervisor, Reuben, I was told they have no idea where the package was. Only, that it was delivered. When I asked where it was delivered, he has no answer.

The USPS tracks these items under the following tracking numbers (**), which is said to have attempted delivery on 12/4 and (**) which is said to have been delivered on 12/18.
The first item shows no further information concerning my items after 12/4 and when the office is contacted they can't find the item, I visit the office to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor is unnecessarily rude and avoids me, refuses to give me her full name and says that all i need to know is that she is Mrs. Williams, than reluctantly decides she will take my information and contact me if they find my package. No one ever contacts me, I call consistently and I am told that a claim has been made and that it will be forwarded to consumer affairs, but nothing more will be done.
The second order says, it has been delivered on 12/18 but I check the mail every single day and I have not received any mail. I seriously believe that the postal courier is stealing my packages. I purchased these items as Christmas gifts and they should have been delivered well before 12/25 and at this rate I can expect that I will not receive any of these items before or after 12/25 for that matter.

Called my main post office here and I have spoke to 4 different people. One of them who is the supervisor. She was no help. Talking firm like she is correct. She tells me that there was a substitute carrier that day it was delivered. So, she said they will call me back when they get a hold of her (the sub. carrier) because they need to ask her if she "remembers" where it is/what she did with it.
So, tracking says it was delivered on December 9, 2010. I called on December 10, 2010, December 11 and December 13. I called so many times I can't remember exactly! December 14, 2010, I call back because I never got a return call from my local post office. They put me on hold to ask the sub. carrier lady if she "remembers" what she did with it. They come back on the phone and say, the lady says she put it in your box. I say, no I didn't get anything! They put me on hold again. Come back on and say okay the lady is coming out there to open all the boxes and see if she can find it. Because I live in an apartment so they also have big lockers they use to put large packages in and we get the key to open it. So, I checked my mail later that evening and the next day and still nothing.
I call them back and they say, "Oh, we were going to call you but it's the holidays and it's so busy. "So then, they say the lady didn't find it anywhere in the boxes. Duh! The delivery says it was delivered on the 9th and the sub. carrier lady is finally coming back out to check all the boxes on the 14th! Its long gone by then if they did misdeliver it into someone else' s box! **
Note. It's quite odd that the day I was receiving the package, a substitute carrier was working and it went missing! I find out from our regular postal carrier guy that this substitute lady is not even a permanent worker and there has been a lot of missing mail/complaints when she's working. He also personally feels that this lady does not take her job seriously and says that he told his job that they should hire someone else!
So now, I'm finding out these facts about this sub. carrier lady and starting to think she is stealing my and other peoples mail! It is Christmas time, so it is the perfect time for her to steal! So, I finally call the 1-800 number on December 15. They say they opened a case to investigate and I will receive a call within 2 days.
I get that call from a guy at my local post office on December 18, 2010. I missed his call, so I called him today December 20, 2010. He also talks firmly like he's right and tries to talk over me! I tell him everything I heard about the substitute carrier lady. That even our apartment office has had a few complaints of missing mail!
He says that I'm the only one from my address. Well, I don't care if I'm the only one, that only means that I'm the only one calling about it! So, I tell the guy okay so what can be done? I don't have insurance on it but that's it!? Customers just have to take a loss after trusting the USPS and paying their price to ship something and if they lose it or steal it, we lose!?
He keeps saying what I heard over and over again from my local post office which was, "try asking the sender of the package if they can re-send a replacement. "What!? It is not the senders fault for their negligence! I am so frustrated and sick that I can't do nothing about this! I researched online and there are so many complaints of people in the same situation! It is not fair that the post office can get away with this! We pay them money to do a job and when they mess up they aren't held accountable for their actions! I have tracking that shows my local post office being the last ones to be holding the package, and still they aren't held responsible for the loss of it!

People began complaining that my mail was being returned! I say it was not his place. His supervisor defended him saying that I did not have the right to pick and choose what mail I receive or was delivered. I have read the mail codes. I do have the right. I either receive all items or none! I cannot believe this. What right does the carrier have to return my mail? I read that I have the right to refuse items and even items from a particular person or address.
Legal documents from the court are delayed and I have not yet fully realized the extent of the damage. I feel violated that someone would make this decision without checking with me!

Postal Service is advertising the flat rate boxes for shipping. The ad shows the people giving the boxes to the postman directly from your home. I tried to buy the postage on the flat rate boxes so I could do this and was told I had to fill the boxes and bring them in to the post office for postage to be put on them due to the dates. The advertisement is false! I wasted 1 hour of my time to wait in line to be told this. I have been misinformed by commercials they are using, as well as many of other people. Maybe a stamp could be printed by the postal service that you could pay for when you get the boxes would be helpful and they can date them as they do letters when they come back through the post office.

This post office is still messing up all of our mails. They’ve lost and mis-sent our mails and when we contacted them they put it on another post office. This is ridiculous and unfair to us and our business. We've had 2 mis-sent packages in less than a week, one that sat for days and now has been mis-sent. Something needs to be done about this!

I ordered documents, as well as an item needed for a court preceding happening tomorrow at 9:00am (need to arrive by 8:30am). The package of necessary evidentiary support for my case was originally supposed to arrive here on Saturday. When I tracked the package, it was still en-route from Broomfield, CO. I could accept this knowing that it would be here 100% today, Monday, December 13, 2010. The only lists for the package was Priority Mail, with a Delivery Confirmation, No signature required. I was able to get my errands done with the DMV, and was going to return home to sort things out for court. The evidentiary support contained in the parcel will give my case the needed information to dismiss my case. When I arrived home, we had a "Sorry we missed you" tag on our door, and the current time was over 30 minutes past when the last pick up was available (4:30 pm) for the day.
I called the office to inform them of the mistake, and what I could do on my end to get the package into my possession asap, notifying them of the importance of the contents of the package. "Sorry sir, the best I can do is put it out for re-delivery for tomorrow, but it won't do you any good.", saying that it wouldn't arrive till after 2:00 pm tomorrow. Without this package, and already being given a 15-day extension for the case to obtain the needed documents. My appeal (after being admitted into the San Diego county Jail) isn't for 3 months.
The post (person) decided to keep the package regardless of the stated facts that it is unnecessary to obtain a signature, and the fact that it could be left at the door. Now, the consequences are I will show up to court tomorrow without the needed documents to dismiss my case, and the judge will rule in favor of the plaintiff (when I was not the individual he is accusing) putting me for the next 3 months in jail until the appeal for my case is heard by the court.
There will be no compensation for being wrongfully accused, no counter suit for me to gain any personal benefit. I'll be losing my job, losing my apartment, losing my pets (cat 2 year old, and dog 9 year old), losing all of my personal possessions because I can't afford a storage unit for 3 months, I'm losing everything! All because a postal worker made a decision on his own accord. Due to the disclaimer on the USPS website, I cannot pursue legal actions against them due to any negligence performed by their employees. I don't know what I can do.

I had a very unfortunate situation happened on Saturday, December 11. Two packages sent from two different companies filled with Christmas gifts for my daughters, one sent priority and both had delivery confirmations that were destroyed by our dogs. Here's the catch! Myself, my husband and 3 teenage daughters were all at home and the two vehicles are in our driveway. Never did the carrier knock or ring our doorbell. We live up on a hill with strong winds, we do not have a porch, just a step and a glowing orange doorbell right at the door. Upon leaving to take our daughter to a Volleyball Clinic, we have seen our packages destroyed and scattered across the yard. Immediately, we took pictures then called the Clear Spring Post Office and I was told to call back on Monday.
Next, we called the companies to report what had happened and to see if there was anything that they could do to assist us. Both companies said it's the fault of the USPS that the carrier should have knocked or take it up with them. So, over the weekend, I did a lot of researching and found myself at the USPS.gov website. They have their DMM posted, Domestic Mail Manual. It was here I read under DMM 500 that Additional Services that 1.2 Carrier Release for Uninsured Parcels states, An uninsured parcel may not be left in an unprotected place, such as a porch or stairway, unless the addressee has filed a written order, or the mailer has endorsed the parcel Carrier Leave If No Response.
The endorsement must appear directly below the return address as specified in 402.2.0 and 402.3.0. Also upon further reading according to the DMM 500, 2.2.3 Parcel Delivery under Rural Delivery Services states, An ordinary parcel too large to fit into a customer's mailbox is not left unless the customer has filed a written order with the postmaster relieving the USPS and carriers of all responsibility in case of loss or deprivation of any such parcel left outside the box.
Well, I knew I had never filed a written order with the Clear Spring Post Office or any Post Office. It's actually PS Form 4232 that grants USPS the right to leave packages. I printed out these specifics of the DMM and this afternoon my husband and I went to the Clear Spring Post Office. Moments upon arriving at the front desk, the Post Master, Lori **** came out and right away was very arrogant, dismissive and talked down to us. She never looked over the items that were sitting on the counter and she stated there is nothing that can be done because insurance wasn't placed on the items. My husband handed her the print out of the highlighted DMM. She wouldn't read them.
She stated that she talked to the carrier and he said he was surrounded by 3 dogs and intimidated, but put the packages out anyways then honked the horn and left. She acknowledged that he never knocked or rang the doorbell. She also said that it's the USPS policy that if dogs are around, they are not to get out of the truck but that he was doing us a favor.
My husband then read Mrs. **** the specifics of the DMM. Her reply to this was that we were in the wrong to have allowed packages to continually be delivered without saying anything until these were destroyed so we were in the wrong all along and it was our responsibility to correct the Post Office even though the DMM states otherwise. Honestly, we didn't know it was wrong for the carrier to leave packages until reading the DMM. My husband included that these were Christmas gifts and she didn't care, said we can take this matter higher and it will take weeks before it gets back to her. She also made clear that it’s his word, the carrier's, against ours. She further stated that she told the carrier to stop all deliveries that don't fit in the mailbox like she was punishing us. I said I'd be happy to pick up my items at the Post Office rather than this ever happening again.
My husband asked for the form and had to even state which form it was so it’s legally logged that packages are not to be left outside the mailbox. It took a lot to keep myself cool. I did raise my voice but I never screamed or became belligerent. It wouldn't have mattered anyway because at no time did she even acknowledge my existence. On the drive home, I called the USPS Consumer Affairs and made a complaint on both the packages and the Post Master. I should receive my call tomorrow. I'm assuming they will stand by their own procedures of the DMM. If they don’t, what is the purpose of them? I completely understand if I had filled out the PS form 4232 prior to today that there would be no recourse and it would have been my fault that our dogs got the packages, or a thief, or the wind, etcetera.

On November 12, I sent two packages from Jersey City, NJ, through the USPS to Los Angeles, CA (my residence). I had placed a hold on my mail on November 4 till November 30 in order for the packages to wait in the post office, not in front of my door step. Realizing I will be coming back to California earlier than November 30, I modified my hold on November 14, making it effective only until November 26 (I moved the expiration of my hold request 4 days earlier).
Upon going to the USPS office in Los Angeles on November 27th to claim both packages, I found that they were returned to sender (New Jersey); thus violating my hold request. It's been 2 weeks and the packages never reached the sender, or the post office in Jersey from which I sent the stuff, and for which it was to be returned.
The post office now claims they have no knowledge where my two packages are, and are being completely uncooperative and lazy in handling my case. Those packages have most of my clothes plus miscellaneous stuff; they contain most of what I own. As a result of my packages being delayed (or lost), I had to change my mother's airline ticket (she was supposed to leave the US on Thursday, Dec. 9) because the packages contain some of her belongings as well and she cannot leave without them. Such a change in the ticket cost me $156.99 and cost my mother's family back in Egypt (her supposed destination on Dec. 9th) much distress as to my dependent brother in Egypt who relies on my mother in many aspects. Moreover, my father, who has multiple health issues, was most affected by my mother's delay in returning, and her further absence will deny him the care and assistance she was supposed to resume upon her return on Dec. 9th.
In addition to the aforementioned, the delay caused by the negligence of the USPS, resulting in my mother staying longer in the US, has incurred on her further living expenses, which she was not prepared for. Being unemployed and ineligible to work in the US to support herself until she gets back (she is on a visitor's visa, so attempting employment would be illegal), it is evident how such delay has caused a dramatic financial burden on us and further expenses, which are even better understood if you take the currency exchange rate into account (1 US Dollar is equal to almost 5.6 Egyptian Pounds). I find it also distressing that she is going to miss spending Christmas with her family as was scheduled. And with the weather getting colder in the US, her further delay will enact further health burdens on her.

First, all post offices in Brooklyn now require appointments in order to process an application for a passport. This is not so anywhere else, only in Brooklyn. Secondly (and primarily), on multiple occasions, USPS has claimed a package was either delivered to our address or delivery was attempted while we were home. No card was left indicating that a delivery had been attempted. The most recent example was on 12/7/2010, where we arrived home at 4:45PM and they claimed delivery was attempted at 5:02PM.

I don't get my bills nor am I able to post mail all winter. I don't live out in the country on a rural route but rather in town inside the city limits. Doesn't everyone have the right to mail delivery in this country? We all pay for the service through the constant increases in stamps and other taxes, don't we? In White Salmon, we don't even have the option of "cluster" mail boxes, located somewhere near our homes. What gives? I feel discriminated against because I am elderly and unable to drive.
When I called the local PO to inquire and complain, I was told that it's because no one in White Salmon could agree about the location of neighborhood mailboxes! Sounds like a lame excuse to me!

I filled out the proper form and submitted it into the drop box like the Post Master, Connie, told me to. My partner was a witness to all this and the next incident two days later. On the form it stated that it would be effective immediately. I stated to her that it was important that it be effective immediately as my son's social security check was due in the mail.
She told me that she would not be able to hold it since the envelope had, "service requested" printed it and that it would be returned to the Social Security Dept. and I would have to have the address switched by them once I moved. I told her that I had had it forwarded previously when I had moved there by the Post Master where I lived before on a different island. She said, "Maybe he doesn't go by the rule, I go by the rule. I can't do that."
I submitted the forwarding slip and returned two days later to check on the forwarding status and my son's check. I had told her the first time that it was important that it be held because we are living on a limited income.
On 11/24/10, I returned with my partner. I dealt with the Post Master, Connie again. I gave her my ID and asked her to check on the mail that I had requested to be forwarded to General Delivery. She refused, stating that it would take 10 days for the forwarding to take effect. My partner, David, told her, "It says on the form that the change takes place immediately." Connie replied, "Where? Where does it say that? " David unfolded one of the change of address forms in the office and said, "Right here", and pointed it out for her.
At that time, another postal worker who has worked there longer than her came around the corner because she could hear part of what was going on. She said that the change would be effective on the date that I had put on the form and I told her that I had put in 11/22/10, which was two days prior. At that, she went around the corner to where they put "General Delivery" mail and 15 seconds later came back with my son's social security check along with a certified letter and magazines.
At that moment, the Post Master, Connie, scuttled away in embarrassment, not even with an apology that she was wrong and didn't even know the "rules" that she had so adamantly sworn that she followed, two days before. The worker who helped us apologized thoroughly for the mistake and stated that she would make sure that it would not happen again and even took the blame upon herself. We thanked her genuinely because she truly serves the Postal Service in the true essence of the word "service".

I have been calling to see why I had a vacant notice in my mail box. I called Saturday morning at 8:30 am and was told there was a forwarding address on my account. I responded no, there shouldn't be. So I went and met the mail lady at the mail box, her name is Christie. She told me she had sent my mail off from Nov 17th til the 19th. She said she would leave my mail until the 26th since I told her I do have 2 apartments and I will do a forward of address on the 26th. I called today 11/23 to check where my mail is from those 3 days since no one knows where it went and Chris was extremely rude, he wouldn't let me talk or explain anything. He put me on hold and called the mail lady, she advised him she has been putting mail in the box. He comes back to the phone and says your mail is in your box, I again asked where my mail is from the 17th til the 19th, he said he doesn't know.
I asked can you please call her again and he replied, "we don't know where your ** mail is and I'll talk to my lying mail lady when she gets here". I said I didn't say she was lying, I'm just asking where my mail is from those 3 days. He was rude saying to get over it, he doesn't know, for me to make up my ** mind where I want to live, etc. This was extremely shocking, I put him on speaker phone and my fellow employees heard the way he was going off on me. He hung up on me so I'm still wondering where my mail is. I called back and was told he is the post master for that location and there is no one else to talk to. I refuse to talk to someone who is verbally rude and abusive. I cannot believe someone like him and his words are even in the management field. I have never been spoken to like that in my life! I wasn't rude, and abusive with my words. I didn't swear at him or even raise my voice, I simply want to know where my mail is.

My daughter sent me a package on Monday, November 15, 2010 from the post office in Bloomington, MN. As of today, November 23, 2010, I still haven't received the package. She sent another package the same day, and the person she sent it to received it on Thursday, November 18, 2010. I went to our local post office to find out if it was being held there, or if they had any idea what to do about it and they told me to contact consumer affairs. The package may be in the mail recovery area and they may be able to link the package to this complaint.

Also to make matters just as bad, she doesn't give me my letters from my boyfriend who is incarcerated and packages aren't delivered to my door.

Moved to a new home in Sept 2010. Home built in 2007, but never sold until I brought the home. For the past two months I have been trying to submit a change of address to the USPS who continue to say the address is invalid. I contact the Plan and Zoning Department for my state. The state employee (Janice) confirmed that the address was recorded with the state and was valid. I looked the state taxation website to confirm and saw that the address was recorded on10/15/2010.
The stat employee gave me her phone number and asked that I contact the local USPS, give them her name and number and have them call her at her office. I did this but had the sneaky suspicion that nothing was going to be done. I called the state employee back, gave her the phone number to the local post office. I called her back within an hour. She stated she called the local post office and faxed the necessary information for them to have the information entered into their data base. I waited two weeks before trying to submit the change of address for the third time. I am still getting that the address manager is saying the address in still invalid. How is it I can't go on the government website and see that the address is valid, but the postal service cannot get their work completed in a timely fashion?

I sent two packages via priority mail with signature confirmation receipt on 11/16/10 to the same destination in New York City, NY. One package was delivered on 11/18/10 while the other has not yet been delivered and every time I go online to track it, it gives the exact same message stating that it was received on 11/18/10 in a sorting facility in Bethpage, NY and that no more information is available.
When I spoke with a supervisor on 11/20/10 and requested that he contact the sorting facility in Bethpage, NY to find out where my package is, he replied that he could not do that and hung up the phone on me. This is terrible customer service. Prior to speaking with the supervisor, I had spoken with numerous customer service agents who all repeated the same information to me that was present online. Nobody gave me any other alternative or suggestions regarding how to locate my package.
You can rest assured that after this experience, I will never ship USPS again and will spread the word to friends and family not to do so either unless they want their items lost and want to deal with very poor customer service. Why ship an item via priority mail with signature confirmation receipt and insurance to then have it lost and not be able to receive any assistance in locating it? I was told initially that it would take 2-3 business days for the package to be received and then afterwards was told by customer service agents and a supervisor that I have to allow 5 business days to transpire before I can file a report on a missing package.
This is not a good customer experience and does not promote trust in your services or in your professionalism. The tracking number of the missing package is **. The other package that was delivered on 11/18/10 had tracking number **. They both went to different sorting facilities even though they were sent from the exact same post office in Fogelsville, PA. Why the online status of the missing package has not been updated since 11/18/10 is a mystery and should not occur when a customer spends extra money to send a package via priority mail with signature confirmation receipt and insurance. A customer is entitled to know where their package is located when they are spending extra money on its shipment.
Each time I speak with a supervisor, I am told that priority mail is not a guaranteed service and that I should have sent my package express mail if I wanted it tracked! I called the sorting facility in Bethpage, New York at **, and was not able to speak with a supervisor, instead I was given the telephone number for Consumer Affairs ** and was told by the person who answered that I would have to wait 21 days to file a claim.

The post office attempted delivery and the slip was left to pick up at post office. After 3 times of going to the post office, they still could not locate my package that was sent via Amazon. Funny thing was a girl in front of me was complaining of the same thing and held up the line for about 40 minutes because they only had one person working on the pickup window. I filed a case through USPS phone number and nothing. I was told at the post office to leave a copy of my attempted delivery slip, phone number and a supervisor would call but nothing. The third time I went back USPS, they told me that the manager was too busy to speak to me. I called USPS again at the 800 number and they told me I have to deal with the local post office or call consumer affairs. I told them I was given a case number and they said that's for the local office. Then I explained well that the local office didn't help.
Finally, I called the local office and the lady told me to file a claim since they assumed my package was stolen or lost. I went online to file a claim and it says my article number, which is on the USPS slip is incorrect. I contacted amazon.com and they are useless with their automatically generated email responses to your legitimate, time-consuming sent emails. I called Amazon and their rep told me they will credit me and it will take two more weeks to get the credit. So after all this between Amazon and USPS, I have no package or item one month later all for a ten dollar purchase. Needless to say, I can't use my laptop because the cord is what my purchase was after my friend's dog chewed it. Customer service is no service. Now, I am at square one minus $10 and a laptop cord.

My mother-in-law sent me two $50 gift cards. She sent it priority mail and paid for that service. 11 days later (instead of the 4 promised by our wonderful USPS), the padded manila envelope arrived not only damaged, but the gift cards were not in the envelope. Instead were two canisters of arctic mint flavored snuff. So obviously, someone opened this envelope, took the cards and replaced it with the snuff that I have every intention of throwing away since I can think of much faster ways to ruin my life. This is not the first time that I've had problems with the USPS delivery. To put salt on the wound, since insurance was not taken out on it, I was told that the post office will probably not do anything to reimburse my troubles.
This proves a very valuable lesson. Ship via FedEx or UPS, at least they insure the package with no extra fees. With all this, I will never ship anything via the Post Office. It may or may not ever get there in one piece.

I had a priority packet mail sent to me from GA. I track it from there all the way to Kansas City on the USPS website. It said it was out for delivery on Nov. 15, 2010. Well, it did not come that day to my house. So, I did not get upset. I thought maybe the post man ran out of time getting to me that day. Well, I paid it. I did not get any mail that day. When I check the site again the next day, it’s now Nov. 16, 2010, it was confirmed that it had been delivered on Nov. 15, 2010 at 1:15 pm. It was posted for another whole zip code. I live in 66102. It was confirmed that it was delivered in 66101.
I’m freaking out that someone got my packet. I called the post office. I talked with a guy named John. I told him his mail person had dropped my packet off at the wrong address. John told me not to worry, he would look into it. I was told by John that he would call me the next day. Well, he hung up in my face without getting my number. I called the post office back so I could leave my number. Well, no one answered so I called the next day. This is now Nov. 17, 2010 talk with John. Again, he told me he needed my confirmation number so he could check it online. I said okay. He said, “Yup, I see it was delivered.”
I told yes, at the wrong house. I told John again my zip is 66102, not 66101. He said, “Okay, let me look into it more. Call me back in an hour.” I called him back. John told me his mail person that delivers in the area did not drop any packet. John said, “Don’t worry. I will talk with the delivery people when everyone get in. Call back later.” I said okay once again. I called back. Someone else answered the phone. I asked for John. I was told, “He is not here. What can I help you with?” I explained all over again to this person. He asked for my confirmation number. I told him, “Let me call you back. I have to find my paper.” He said okay.
I called back in 5 minutes. I talked with this guy. It sounds just like the guy named John I talk with the last few days gave him the information. He told me I have problems with my computer. He said, “Let me call you back.” I said, “This is getting crazy. Let me have the number to your head post office or post master.” He gave me the number and told me, “I’m sorry. Call back tomorrow and ask for john. He will be able to help you.” I just said okay.
Well, I called that number he gave me that he said was the headquarters office. Well, guess what? It was another line of the same person I just got off the phone with. I said, “Hello. I thought you said this was the main office.” He said, “Miss, just call back the next day.” This would be Nov. 18, 2010. Well, I called bright and early. I said, “Hello, can I speak to John?” The guy on the phone was the same person I had been talking with the last few days. I asked about the packet and what was going on. He said, “There is nothing I can do for you. No one here remembers delivering a packet.” I said, “What do I do now to get my packet?” He said, “Come down and make a claim.”
I went down there about 4:30 to make a claim. I spoke with this game named Pat, what you know the same voice. I told him what was going on. He said, “We don’t do claims here. Go online.” Pat explained to me this happens all the time. I said, “What about my packet? I don’t know what to do.” Pat said, “As very clearly, your cell phones are lost. Just get the company to send you more.” I never told Pat that there were cell phones in my packet. The post stole my packet. I’m very hurt that someone would do this.

The packages and the contents were grossly mishandled. The lost items were recovered due to weeks of my efforts, then I found the contents as destroyed. I submitted rightful claims with all documentation, original insurance slips, original boxes to Jenny ** in July 2, 2010. I mailed out complaints to Post General. Autria ** negated the facts and sent two conflicting letters on the same day. I videotaped the opening of the boxes because the exterior clearly showed gross damage and openings. I had to track three of the packages on my own when they were sent back to Missouri after reaching Bell, CA sorting for Santa Monica delivery.
Below is one of the many letters I sent. I also sent them photos of the damage the day I opened and photographed right in the post office building. For whatever reason, they appear to be stalling to cause the claim to expire. For example, corresponding with my mother, opposed to me, who had packed the packages and received them. My mother only carried them to the post office. The insurance is far less than the loss of property, and this has been proven with original receipts and letters from repair professionals along with proof of replacement on similar items.
I am seeking assistance from your agency to obtain the rightful long overdue compensation from the post office. Thank you for your attention to this matter. With an email, I can submit the photos of damage to your agency.

I have, twice now, sent mail containing money orders payable to my landlord. Both times they have not been delivered. The first instance was approximately two months ago. The second, a week ago. I am sending mail 25 blocks away in the same town and in the same zip code. Both money orders are still uncashed/unclaimed, so it's obvious the mail was not stolen. I sent mail from my apartment complex outbox the first time, my landlord even saw it in there but did not take it out due to laws. It never arrived.
The second time, being that the outgoing mail from my apartment was never delivered, I used one of the blue mailboxes. The mailbox is only 10 blocks from my home, so I assume it is on the same route or goes to the same sorting facility as that of my apartment outgoing mailbox. The money order in the second instance was also undelivered and the money order remains uncashed/unclaimed. I called the post office the first time, thinking it only a fluke, and was given no advice or help whatsoever. I was told, "There's nothing we can do for you if there's no way to track it". Well, being regular old mail, there's no tracking number. The second time I talked to a worker and pleaded my case and explained that one instance was understandable but two instances was not, he agreed and took my name and number and said he would talk to to the carrier but, again, there was really nothing beyond that he could do if the mail did not include a way to track it.

I have called the USPS many times and they tell me there is no information and someone will call me two business days. This is ongoing message and their website states check every day for status. There is no status and they will not tell me if they lost the package. USPS told me I would have to contact Consumer Affairs and then if this does not get resolved write a letter to Washington.
Of course, I was speaking to a supervisor and they were laughing. This is not a laughing matter to me and I feel there is nothing I can do.

They are giving them information on whether or not I am/have filed a claim for damage. Also, they even telling them now (4 months later) when I come in and cash money orders and the amount. This information is private and has nothing to do with this person. The USPS should not be giving out this information to individuals that call in.

I don't want to just complain (I've done a lot of that to no avail). I need answers!! Mail to our boxes have been in the wrong boxes, or not delivered at all.I have received a late fee on my credit card (not to mention the cost to my credit), bills are not paid on time. We, as neighbors, will deliver the mail to the "rightful owner", but not always. Some just destroy it (we suspect). We have gone to the post master (we have no postmaster at this point), gone to the post office to complain, and have gotten a not so sincere "Sorry about that". This continues to happen, and we are at our wits end! What can we do? Is there anyone who really cares?

We have two mail people who deliver our mail to mailboxes streetside. One, a male in a silver caravan has repeatedly been rude to the point of getting out of his vehicle to speak to me. Today, 11/4/2010 at about 2pm, he came and I was waiting (outside in the rain) to grab our mail because our car was parked in front of the mailbox and my husband accidentally took both sets of keys to work with him.
I went outside when I saw him coming and apologized. However, he felt the need to exit his car and tell me that he will not deliver the mail next time whether I'm out there to grab it or not. He tossed our mail at me and when I tried to speak to him he cut me off with "I don't care". This is not the first confrontation I have had with him. The other times it has been about my 5-year old son waiting (about 10 ft back from the road) to grab the mail after he puts in the box or about the height of our box or how the snow hasn't been "scraped away enough." Up until today, I have brushed him off as an unkind person unhappy in his job. He has always been on the rude side but everyone has just ignored it.
Today was different, him exiting the vehicle without need to alarm me. This along with him practically shouting at me was crossing a line. I have no problem with him not delivering our mail if our box is blocked but if I am out there to meet him then what is the problem? I tried to convey this and apologize for today but he was in my face. Who do I make a complaint to and what if anything can be done? I am not saying my car shouldn't have been moved but there was no need to come at me in such a way.

I have not had my mail delivered for 3 days because a neighbor is blocking my mailbox. I have asked the neighbor not to block my box, but I am not home when it happens as I am at work. I called Alicia ** (postmaster) today and she said talk to the neighbor, that it isn't the post carrier's problem. I told her I don't think I should be denied mail delivery for a situation I can't control. She said the mail carrier can't get out and put my mail in my box if a car is in front of it, even though I am making them aware that it isn't our household blocking the box. If they want to refuse to deliver the neighbor's mail, then that is the post office's decision. But I don't think it should be legal for them to refuse me my delivery. Ms. ** was very unhelpful and didn't seem to care about my issue, just kept telling me how uncooperative my neighbors were.

I regularly receive express mail shipments from the USPS. These have a guaranteed delivery of next day by noon as long as the shipper gets the package to the post office by the proper time, which according to the receipt they get and the USPS website they always do. That being said, the USPS only comes through 1/4 of the time. Typically, they are at least one day late, which is very bad because I need these packages on the day that they are supposed to arrive and the contents are perishable and thus no longer any good 24 hours late.
My package, which I have paid good money for, is ruined by sitting with the postal service for an extra 24 hours. Only once has the postal service given a refund. Typically, they say that they revised the shipping estimate so I am not entitled to a refund. This is contrary to their policy but does not stop them from refusing me a refund.

I ordered a simple $20 something product from the NRAstore.com and a few days later, it never arrived. I contacted the UPS people and they said that it had been delivered. It never was. I contacted them and they gave me the biggest run-around imaginable. They told me that the product had been delivered to my door and as far as they were concerned, it was delivered, period. They told me to go contact the seller. Can you imagine this? First they admitted that they had possession of it, then they basically called me a liar when I said that it was never delivered. Some fool delivered it to the wrong door is what happened.
I'll never do business with these people again. For my $20 item, they lost 50 times that amount of business from me in one year. They can go bankrupt for all I care.

This is ongoing & needs to be addressed. Our mail carrier fumbles the mail, delivers at wrong addresses, neighbors return our mail; and magazines are lost forever. The mail does not make it to intended recipient on time, and on some days it is delivered after 5:00pm. We have complained and now the mail carrier will not even speak to us. There has been no improvement. We are not apprised of how the situation has been handled. Who is minding the US Post Office and why do we have to continually become aggravated over a never ending problem? We have a business and the US mail is a detriment to our business.

Twice this month, I have waited 7 days for a payment from an out-of-state tenant. The first one was for rent and the second was for deposit. I figure since this person pays $5.60 to mail a regular size envelope, it should take the 2-3 days USPS says it will. The first check was mailed on 10/5 and showed up on 10/12. The second was mailed on 10/21 and showed on 10/28. I have gotten regular mail from the same place in 3 days, one time it was 4 days. Yes, business days.
Why can they charge over 5 dollars more for service that is worse than their normal fee. It got me to change my method of getting ** by the postal service. Hence, the phrase, gone postal, makes sense now.

In April 2010, my family and I moved into an apartment. About a month later, we started to notice that we weren't getting our usual mail, only selected mailings were being sent to us. We did our change of address form again to make sure all of our mail was being received. In August 2010, we find out that the previous tenants have our last name too. We are not related and have never met.
They were so kind as to mail all of the mail that was being sent to them to our landlord who gave it to us. My husband missed many opportunities for promotions with the state because of this. We went again to the post office and brought it to their attention. Yet, September we are still not getting mail and the previous tenants have been sending us our mail. We had our son's birth certificate ordered for school and we never got it making us pay for it again and we still don't have it. We don't know where it went and the old tenants didn't get it either.
This is an issue because my son now has no insurance coverage at the moment because we can't show proof of parents. I have been finding out that the USPS has so contacted all of my banks, schools, insurance, etc to send them my change of address. I have moved a lot and have never had this happen to me before. This is going to affect my credit report.

Well, the box got to PA and when the receiver opened the box the items inside was damage and broken including the box was in bad shape when it was delivered.
I contacted UPS customer service and submitted a claim and they informed me that they was going to pick it up well after me calling numerous time they finally picked it up because they say they make 3 attempts with out informing you when they will pick up the box.
I was so amazed of the things I would hear from them and they promise to keep me posted and it never happens. I didn't hear from them. When I called for the 3rd time, they informed me that my claim was denied because I packed it incorrectly. That's why it was damaged. I told them first that item was removed from the box and the box arrived damaged and how do you know, if I packed it or not. When it was delivered, it was already damaged and If it didn't why would you allow it in the store to ship in the first place.
She said, "Well, all I could do is to submit the claim again and you want to fight our decision." Well, I did. I never haven't gotten a call yet. I contact them and customer service is unable to give me any information that is useful. Oh! but I was told that the insurance that you purchase is for lost items not damage. Wow! I was just amazed.
I complained to the better business bureau but they don't answer. So they are horrible. I will be taking them to small civil court. Oh they also called me to pick up the stuff that the receiver never claimed it. I told him what he did but you guys picked it up because it was damaged. He said, "Oh well, call customer service."

I placed a call to the post office today and spoke to the mail carrier supervisor regarding misdelivery of mail. This is the fifth time I have called, on top of leaving notes for the mail carrier. I want to say that the supervisor was very rude today. I am complaining because I live in a duplex dwelling (lower/upper units). I occupy the lower unit and have for four months. There has been a tenant in the upper unit for three months. The upper tenant enters their unit by way of the side door, and they also have a separate mailbox located next to the side door.
The problem is that the mail carrier continues to place the upper units mail in my box, therefore, making me responsible for delivering the mail to upper unit, and I am sick of it. I have complained and complained and the supervisor has told me on several occasions that "they would correct the problem". Well, yesterday, 10/26, there is a stack of mail in my box and half of it belonged to the upper unit. The mail is even clearly addressed "upper". Why can't they correct this issue? Mail is supposed to be confidential.
Well, my frustration level hit super high today when during my conversation with the mail carrier supervisor, he indicates, "Oh, the problem is the carrier is not supposed to go to the side or back of the house.” Excuse me? I indicated I have told him time and time before that the box for the upper unit was located at the side door, and his response was always, "Okay, we'll correct the problem.” Now, his excuse is the location of the box. This has to be a lie. I have lived in an upper unit in the past where my only entrance was the side door, and my mailbox was located, at the side door, and the carrier delivered to the side door! Milwaukee has thousands of duplexes with this same layout. So, now I'm hearing the mail carrier just stuffs all and everybody's mail in one mailbox, regardless of how many units and individual entrances there are? I need this matter corrected. Most importantly, someone needs to contact the mail carrier supervisor at the Parklawn location and give him a lecture about speaking to customers with some respect. Thank you.

The clerk replied in the affirmative.
I immediately waited in line (although I thought it was ridiculous). After waiting in line, I talked with a supervisor regarding my other post office issue, then I told supervisor about the matter regarding being told to wait in line just to talk with a supervisor. The supervisor told me that I didn't have to wait in line just to talk with a supervisor. I told her that the clerk told me I had to wait in line.
The clerk happened to be standing next to us because that was the clerk's work station. The clerk turned to me and said, "I told you that (to wait in line) because I don't have time for you." I objected to that clerk's statement and I said, "What?! What did you say?! You don't have time for me?!" The clerk replied, "I had customers in line to help." I protested angrily to the clerk, and I replied to the clerk, "I am a customer."
The supervisor was, of course, still standing there and told the clerk to not talk with me anymore. The clerk then said smugly, "Okay", with a prideful-like expression on the clerk's countenance. I then finished all my complaints to the supervisor. When I asked for the name of the Postmaster there, the supervisor would not give me the name of the Postmaster. The supervisor told me I could phone the phone numbers the supervisor gave me (I had to ask the supervisor for a phone number).
The supervisor did not give me the Postmaster's name at that location, even after I asked her for the Postmaster's name. She did say she was going to speak with the clerk about my complaint, but the supervisor seemed to also try to slightly intimidate me (without success) and to try to slightly intimidate me about me not contacting the Postmaster and about not taking my complaint further than the supervisor. The supervisor never told me to not complain further; she just seemed to be slightly trying to intimidate me by telling me, "I was going to talk with the clerk about the situation, but if you want to contact someone else, then you can do that 'instead.'" It was like she was telling me that if I contacted someone else, then she wouldn't talk with the clerk the way I wanted the supervisor to talk with the clerk to be confronted by supervisory person. I was not intimidated, but the supervisor still did not give me the name of the Postmaster, even after I asked the supervisor for the name of the Postmaster there.

He is either lazy or stupid. I don't usually go to the front yard area as my garage is attached to the back of the house and that is my main entry.

The book has not been received by the seller and when tracked, it is in Atlanta, GA since August 31. I have called the 800 number for the post office after contacting Amazon and the seller for a refund.

I contacted them again on October 7 and talked to a man who set up another case number and was told in two days I would be contacted. I called on October 13 and talked to Lisa. She said they were still working on it and that I would be contacted in two days. On October 18, I spoke to Rosa who told me two days again.

We do not have control over the public street and it should not be within her control to withhold our mail. Cars can be parked on the street for 72 hours. The curb is not painted or marked in anyway. As of today, every mailbox is blocked with garbage cans and 3 blocked with vehicles that have spider webs and weeds growing under them. Also, we do not have mailboxes you can drive up to.

I ordered items from Eddie Bauer. I always track items purchased online. The package was shipped on 10/5/2010 and was expected to arrive at my residence on 10/09/2010. The arrival date fell on a Saturday. The shipping was standard mail. As I tracked the shipping, the order switched from being delivered by FedEx. USPS was to deliver the package. The mail truck was visible from my window. So, I went down to retrieve my package.
When I reached the mailboxes (which by the way is located in a high traffic area, right off the laundry room), nothing was there. I was able to catch up with the mail carrier outside and inquired about my package. The carrier said she left it on top of the mailboxes on the ledge. I told her nothing was there and asked her to come inside and see for herself. She proceeded to tell me that "they" told her to leave residents' packages out an exposed manner. That did not sit well with me.
When we got to the mailboxes, she said that she placed the package there, and again "they" told her to leave packages there, which is completely out in the open for anyone who wanted to walk off with it. I asked for her name and she wrote it down on a “Delivery Notice/Reminder” receipt. USPS told me that they were not liable for the package, even though the carrier used no sound discretion by leaving my package out in plain view only to be stolen. And it was stolen in a matter of minutes! I was told by USPS that the only option I had was to file a complaint to the postmaster, which I did. I was given a confirmation number and was told that at the end of its investigation, I would be contacted of their findings.
I live in subsidized income and am a disabled person. I take medications daily. I got no satisfaction from USPS and my order from Eddie Bauer was stolen. I just cannot get past the fact that a mail carrier would leave a consumers' package out in such an exposed manner. A package with the company's name and log splashed across it! I feel helpless that USPS was so cold and uncaring about what had happened to me. I feel that there will be no justice for me.

I sent a 3 oz. gold piece to a buyer in Pennsylvania and I have the purchase and shipping records to prove it. My mistake is that I didn't put insurance since I have sent lots of gold and other items with no problems. The package was a flat rate envelope that is usually there in three days. The tracking records show that it to went to the delivery bag of the mail person on the third day but was delivered on the 10th day when my buyer signed for it. After he signed for it, which canceled the insurance if i had any, the gold piece then went missing. The fact it disappeared in the mail person's bag for a week before delivery is proof enough to me of a foul play.
I have all the records printed to prove it. I got a hold of consumer affairs for the postal service and they basically don't care. He has sent out an email to ask the places to look for the item in case it fell out! This item was stolen. Where are the mail police? If it was there in three days and no piece, then maybe--but what happened for a week? I just emailed him to post that I will pay a $500 recovery reward for the piece. This is not fair.
Unless I get help, I will pay people to go there and post fliers with a high bounty for the reward that leads to the arrest of this postal employee--unless the piece is not found and the reason for its disappearance, besides insurance, is for damage and not blatant theft. Now, I have more pieces to sell in the future and there is no way to ship them to him. There is a thief who is delivering mails and no one will step up to do anything about it. This is a federal institution, can I call the FBI?

This started back in 2009 when I moved to an apartment with my fiance. I moved from a different city but the apartment we moved into was no more than 1 mile from his previous address. He didn't even move out of his zip code! For about 6 months, he would receive mail at both his new and old addresses and I would receive mail at the apartment, then suddenly there was no more mail for either us. I called the postmaster at our location and she gave us some excuse about our mail got stuck in a change of address loop and was going in circles getting stickers for forwarding but never actually making it out of the vacuum and getting delivered.
After I called the first time, our mail was finally delivered, a big stack of bills/letters/notifications from the last six months. My God, what would we do without the internet. Everything went okay for a while until the mail started showing up at his parents house again and not the apartment. I called again and they told me his correct address was his old one and they have no record of him moving to the new apartment. We had lived in the apartment for about 8 months at this time. By this time, I had checked the "paperless" box for every bank/credit account and bill. Unfortunately, things like car insurance and replacement debit/credit cards still come through the mail. I pay my insurance policy online and then they send me my permanent insurance cards. Luckily, Progressive keeps track of every piece of correspondence going in or coming out. Progressive Insurance tried to send me my insurance cards eight times, I never received a single one.
Finally, sometime after that policy had lapsed and I was starting a new one, the cards came, just in time for them to be expired. I was appalled since I had nothing coming in the mail. I was no longer concerned with mail delivery until we got Netflix. The first 3 DVDs were delivered when Netflix told us they would. The next DVDs we received were delivered a week late and the packaging was torn open.
Needless to say, "someone", i.e. the postal carrier, had been taking my etflix movies home, watching them, then delivering them to me. And now, just this last week, I requested new cards be sent to us since we had opened a new credit card account in light of someone making attempts to steal our identities. A confirmation was sent on 9/23/10 saying the cards would be there in 7 business days. On 10/6/2010, I received an e-mail saying the mail had been "returned to sender", no one was living at this address. When did my postal carrier make the determination whether I live in my apartment or not?
I called the same exact postmaster that I had been dealing with this past year and she said to me she has no record of them ever delivering mail to me, Tiffany, and that my fiance's address was still his old one. Why after a year and four months, is this issue not resolved? The postmaster continued to tell me that apartments were increasingly difficult to deliver because postal carriers don't have time to actually look at what they're putting in the box and also, since they have so many problems at our particular location that I should move to a different apartment building. Is the government going to subsidize me to pay $300 more a month for an apartment so the post office has an "easier" time delivering my mail? I have had it. I hope the post office crashes and burns. I want everyone there to lose their job. They want to be paid for doing nothing; their mistakes are our faults and they have no accountability or responsibility to us, the public.

I own a business outside of the country and there have been several occasions, too many in fact, that the slow mail delivery service in the United States has cost me business. First of all, the average person is not aware that international mail, especially from this country, Senegal, is right across the water from NY. The flight time is about 8 or 9 hours and all international mail bags are put, free of charge to the country of origin, on the first flight going to the destination country.
This is a uniform Geneva Convention protocol and is followed by every country on earth, regardless of size or amount of delivery. If there's mail to go out, once you pay at your local post office, it's shipped to wherever you need it to go, by plane and in our case, it arrives that evening. Basically it's free express service to the US. When it's turned over to US Customs, this is where the system breaks down, and then to the USPS, any thought of 'express' goes out the window.
Years past, before the Patriot Act I will ad, I could ship an item Friday afternoon here in Africa (Senegal) and it would arrive in my favorite customer Patty's mailbox in Red Hook, New York, Monday morning! This was years ago and it was great! New York people got their mail first, and it made obvious sense. Port Authority to Red Hook was only a couple of hours away. Now? Patty has discontinued ordering from me because of theft. Now that the postal employees have carte blanche to look inside packages and 'confiscate' them without notification to the sender or receiver, she stopped received most of the items I shipped her altogether. Finally, it got too expensive for her and me, so we sadly ceased our business relationship.
There was no way for me to guarantee delivery. DHL charged over $100 for the same envelope. 10 times what it cost for the items I was shipping. I have another lady now, lives in Buffalo, NY. She ordered 2 drumbags that were shipped Sept. 7. It's been almost a month and she still hasn't received them. Fortunately, I took a photo of the package at the post office and the date is stamped on the bottom: **.
Otherwise, she would think I never sent them. I have started doing this with my packages now because some of my fellow Americans do not believe that there are thieves at the post office or that they simply don't deliver for whatever reason (too much work?). When I tell them to call their local carrier or call JFK, they don't follow up on their own and continue to blame me because it's easier. Until the American citizens who pay for this service through their taxes and user fees rise up and demand that the USPS employees be made personally accountable for their individual jobs, they will continue to steal out of the mail after seeing products that catch their eye under the Patriot Act rules (and selling them on eBay - I heard of a postmaster in a small state that does this EVERY DAY to supplement his income!), not deliver mail they deem unimportant (or very important if they don't like the recipient), out of the way locations or whatever else these individuals do to make their jobs, easier.
I am happy to have found this website with so many examples of non-delivery and I will now be able to send this link to my loyal customers. My honor and business integrity is on the line every time I put an item into the US mail system and 6 times out of 10, they make me look really bad! I would suggest that they put clandestine cameras in all points of entry (Miami - which has been very good for me I have to say, slow, but at least they deliver. It's JFK in NY that's the problem) and fire the thieves immediately! Secondly, put in place a procedure for confiscated items, where the sender and receiver are notified and given the option to explain what the package is if it's unknown and to pay for its return. That way there's accountability. Right now, when I send herbal products (for skin and hair care), they just take it whenever they run out! It's obvious to me that that is what is going on because it's not every single time, it's about once a month I get a package missing.
Third, tracking numbers on international packages need to actually be recorded somewhere! Right now, they aren't. The big lie of the USPS is that they track packages. They don't but will lie and ask for tracking numbers. If the customer provides them, they say it's not a number recognized in their 'system' - there is no system! Again, most Americans don't do the follow up to find this out on their own and it looks like international shippers are lying. We aren't, they are because it makes their job easier not to track outside mail. Keeping up with US mail is hard enough and importers just have to 'trust' them to deliver the packages that we have paid them to deliver.
Fourth, have a separate site for business customers to report missing packages, showing proof of mailing and what the package looks like (like I have above), country of origin and shipping date, so that someone can actually take a look/see. Particularly for international USPS customers who pay into your 'system' but have zero representation in the USPS to help when there's a problem. This is not a difficult thing to do and will streamline the system to avoid the casual theft and incompetence that's getting worse as the cutbacks in service get more severe.
A package recognition program would be easy and cheap, just like fact recognition programs are. We send a (good) picture of our package with the country of origin and date of shipping. The computer simply scans all incoming packages for the couple of days after shipping from that country and hits a match. They can then see if the package is in the dead letter office, pushed to the side because of whatever reason or if it simply 'disappeared'. Of course, we would have to have honest people who will tell the truth about the disappearances to make this work. The probability of cover ups will be high if only to protect their fellow USPS employees. Maybe make it a volunteer project for seasoned citizens so there's no cost to the USPS at all.
Everything is done by computer so it's not labor intensive or difficult and everybody would be happy. Fifth, publish the results and 'name and shame' the most offensive offices that have the largest number of missing packages. Then this nonsense would stop. I know I'm dreaming. Corruption is not a word that gets used much in the US with regard to federal employees, particularly blue collar, but there's a serious problem at our major airports and customs offices that is simply being ignored.

I also said to him, "Now this bill will be late and credit card companies may raise my interest rate." His reply was, "Well, we can't send it overnight. We can't do anything to help you. How do I know you didn't just drop it yourself? Just send it though registered mail." This is terrible. You want our money to mail things but you won't take responsibility.

I mailed my daughters computer to be fixed at City of Industry, CA. It took 15 days to get there and when the product was received, the computer was in pieces on the edge like someone stepped on it. I also noticed other people that have gotten ripped off mailing stuff to City of Industry, CA. Apparently, there is a ring of thieves rifling through mail that we pay for to get delivered not damaged! I am out of pocket for delivery and out of pocket to pay for another laptop.

I mailed a package of Bluerays on 8/25/10. The buyer stopped payment so I did a mail recall on 8/26/10. The package had tracking on it. The package was stopped in New York and was never delivered. It ended up on the Postmasters desk. I spoke with her; she said she had it and was going to scan it and send it back. It arrived back within the week. The only problem was it had been opened, resealed ( no sticker as damaged), and out of 49 Bluerays, 17 were left. The only ones left were the older ones and all the newer ones were gone.There is no way they fell out on their own! How come only the best ones fall out and the older ones were left? They were picked over.
Then I was told by consumer affairs that if they were lost (as in fell out), they would never look for them. They are too small and everything small is thrown out. They only save or look for large items. I have a list and photo of the Bluerays from the listing. I would just like them back I had no insurance on them because the buyer didn't pay for it plus I didn't think the post office would take them. You can clearly see where they re-taped it. How do I get them back?

On August 18th 2010, I placed a hold on my mail until 8/31. On Sept 1st 2010, my family's mail was to be forwarded to my new PO Box located in Oaks, PA. I was told this process could take 7 to 10 days. To date, I have not received any mail. I was told by the Collegeville Post Office Supervisor that it is in the system to be forwarded, and that they no longer handle my mail. I asked her what I should do, and she had no idea! First of all, Collegeville PO should still be receiving my mail, and forwarding it to the PO Box. I'm still trying to figure out what mail/bills I should have received. I know of one credit card statement I have not received, and I hope my payment is received in time.
