My mail is never delivered before 5:00 pm, which is very frustrating. Some mail items need to be processed and most offices and financial institutions are closed by the time I receive my mail.

Ok, so I am currently on attempt number 2 (two) to send a letter from Tampa, FL to St. Claire Shores, MI with a rather sizeable cashier’s check inside made out to my sister. I sent the first letter on Feb. 18th which was a Saturday. I expected the letter to make it to Michigan within 5 (five) business days, but when that came and went and I got a phone call asking where it was, I had no answer. Well, it turns out I had accidentally switched the last two number. I put “01” and it was supposed to be “10.” Well, I thought that was incredibly crazy that their local mail carrier couldn’t figure out what I had meant by that and didn’t just deliver it to them. He didn’t. So I cancelled that check. On the 14th of March (Wednesday) I went to my bank, got another cashier’s check, this time for double the amount, and resent it making sure I used delivery confirmation again.
Well, I wouldn’t be here writing this if everything had worked the way I believed it would. It’s been 10 (ten) days now and still nothing. I just had a sit down with a regional postmaster (rep) who told me the package, while not having tracking paid for, was tracked because they had to scan the barcode every time it went through a center. So, according to him, the last place they have my letter being scanned was in Jacksonville, FL. What? At this point, I don’t even know what to say. I know what I have to do now, but still thanks for absolutely nothing, USPS.

I'm not getting important mails since 4 or more months ago. I'm not getting any local mails at all. I've been waiting for my renewed driver's license since January. I've called the Secretary of State more than 10 times, made them resend it twice, went to state postal office myself and talked to several mailmen about the issue, but nothing is coming to my mail box. Now, I'm supposed to get my check from my insurance company and just got a call that it's been sent back as a bad address. I've never moved in the last 2 years. There has been a mail box problem last year before summer, but all of my roommates are getting all their mails just fine. I am getting mails from international places, but none of the local mails. Please let me know if there's any way to fix this as I am planning on moving out in about a month or so.

I inherited my father's home in the state of Florida. My mail has been mishandled since I have moved in January. Packages and letters have been misplaced one to many times. Plus, I have been receiving mail for a gentleman who does not live at my address. I have spoken to the regular carrier as well as the clerk in the office. I was reassured by my main carrier that she had spoken to her sub carrier. I have recently spoken to the postmaster there as well. I understand that no one is perfect, but how many times do I have to bring up these issues to get something done? I am only getting into arguments with these people and that still hasn't helped me or them. Please assist me in this matter for I have past the point of frustration and would like to receive only the mail that is mine within a timely fashion.

I had a check coming to me as of 3/24/12. It was sent priority mail and should have been here in 2-3 days. It never came. Funny to me because it was bound to happened. I have been calling my local post office for 3 days since the 17th and they referred me to the USPS consumer affairs. The woman I spoke to told me it was processed at their facility in Los Angeles on the 14th, so I kept checking on it through the day since the 17th and it never changed status. So I kept calling the consumer affairs three times a day since the 17th and it was the same response, "I'm not sure where it is", "I checked down there and it's not there", "It must be in the lost articles department". They never called me back and they said they would give me until this afternoon. I am so disappointed. I am angry because there was money in the package and now it's "shredded"? What the ** is that?
So what, no one was going to contact me about it? I'd have to keep calling and waiting 25 minutes every time to get someone on line to hear the same ** excuse? What good are they then? What are they getting paid to do? To tell me they don't know where it is? What's the use of a tracking number if you can't find it! They need to fire them and get some real workers who are going to get off their ** and do their jobs! In the end, all they told me was I had to have the same person resend me the money again, maybe next day mail. Why? So it can get lost again? They also told me they didn't have a lot of personnel they used to stay and find the lost packages reported. Then hire some! This is what's become of the USPS! I asked to call someone higher to complain and they told me, "there is no one, this is the place". Well, I'd rather have my mail delivered by a man in a horse carriage than by the USPS!

A photobook was being sent priority mail so I could take orders before all of our winter visitors leave in a month or so. The package was still banded, but the end caps were broken open. The book was missing. When I called the 866 number of the post office, I was told to go to the local post office and fill out a form. The post office told me that they don't have forms and I needed to do this on the internet. I was brushed off when I suggested that perhaps someone could check out the truck to see if the book had fallen out during delivery. They said that didn't happen. They also said that the package couldn't have been sent since the PO does not accept packages with bands on them. I explained that the package was in fact delivered with the bands intact so they did accept it. It was the end that was broken out and the book was missing.

I went to check my mail (PO box). They changed the locks on my box without notice. So they want me to pay the $16.00 fee for the six months, but they want me also to pay a $15.00 service fee to reinstate the box. That is just plain robbery and not right. Normally, you receive notice to pay the bill and I pay on the minute I get my notice.

Certified mail lost - I had a certified mailed delivered to my house on Wednesday, 03/21.

My daughter sent me a birthday package and paid for a signature confirmation and got it insured. I was home all day and saw the post office truck stop at my mailbox. Later that day, I got my mail and they had shoved the package into my mailbox and never came up to the house to get my signature. I called the post office the same day and the woman on the phone said she would send the mail woman back to my house to get my signature. The woman never showed up. This is not the first time something has happened to packages sent to me. One Christmas, I never even got my package. Why do they even get paid?

I have paid for shipping on three different packages, to be sent priority mail. One was lost, one was returned to the sender due to post office error, and one was delivered late. Then I was told that I couldn't come to the office to pick up the package. The reason anyone pays for priority shipping is because the item or document is time-sensitive.
So far, USPS hasn't delivered a single priority package on time and undamaged. By contrast, UPS has successfully shipped to me many times. When I attempt to call the USPS help line, I get nothing but an insincere apology. When I attempted to email them, they informed me that the email link was out of service! If this were a private company, they would have been litigated and boycotted out of business long ago. When I think of the fact that my tax money is supporting this institution, it infuriates me.

I mailed a package back to Coach Factory outlet in China which advertises and sells fake purses. Their website does not state merchandise is coming from China. I paid $55.40 to mail package back to China an address provided by Coach Factory outlet. Mail package on 3/2/12 with post office express mail guaranteed delivery on 3/12/12. I checked the status on USPS confirm and tracking site everyday through 3/20/12 and the information was always "Left sort facility in San Francisco" and nothing additional.
I called their customer service number on the receipt. I was given a case number and a promise to get back to me in two to three days. Day number 5, 6, no call back from the rep. I sent another email with the case number and asked for the status of the package. I was given another case number and to call the 1-800 for further inquiries and they will get back to me in 2 to 4 days. Two to six more days passed, I sent another email and was given another case number with the same promise. I call the 1-800 number today, 3/21/12, and was given, oh yes, we got some information back from our investigation and the package is in being held in Custom in China.
I said, Since it is 19 days later and you got the information on 3/20/12 but your guaranteed delivery stated 3/12/12, eight days later, do I get my refund?" "I will let you talk to my supervisor and get someone named Charlie," which will not give me his last name, stated he apologized for the delay and don't know why no one contacted me back. But because the package is held in custom, the guarantee delivery is voided. I stated it wasn't held in custom on the 3/12/12. "The package wasn't even in China on 3/12/12 per your customer service rep." Charlie kept apologizing and told me if I wasn't satisfied with his service, I can file a compliant with the Office of Consumer International Appeals in Washington D.C. even though I have a receipt stating guaranteed delivery from post office in Seattle, WA where I mailed the package.

On several occasions, too many to count, the condition of our mail has been unsatisfactory. We have received cards that are ripped, magazine covers ripped, letters crumpled up. It seems as if the mail carrier shoves the mail into our mailbox with no regard for its condition. We live in a four-family house with mailboxes and not a mail slot for our mail, and I understand that sometimes the fit can be tight, but there is no reason for the mail to arrive in such a condition. If the magazines do not fit into the mailbox, then they can be left on the porch instead of shoving everything into the box with no regard if the items are crumpled or ripped. I have called regarding this issue in the past, and it seems that it was not addressed as our mail is still arriving in poor condition.

Last Monday, I went in to the post office to pick up a much anticipated package. I went in and the lady could not find it. She asked me to come back the next day because they had too many packages to sort through. So I went back and still nothing! The lady at the reception told me that if I get a tracking number she can find it for me. So I come back the day with the tracking number and they tell me it’s already been picked up, by whom, not me!
Now, on my 5th visit to my very helpful post office, I was determined to get an answer, spoke with the clerk and the postmaster only to be told that unless I get my mail certified. I might or might not get it received. Such professionalism from another government agency and they wonder why people do what they do.

Despite repeat complaints to the US Post Office, the letter carrier continues to leave my mail dangling in the door mail slot instead of pushing the mail through the door mail slot until it falls down behind the outer security door.

We filled out a change of address request on Feb. 16, 2012 effective for Feb. 25, 2012. Since that day, we have not received any mail via USPS. That is going on nearly 30 days (March 21, 2012 now) and no mail. We have called USPS 3 times and have received a confirmation number with no return phone call. We have also filed a complaint online via USPS and here. We have also called our local post office (old and new) to get an answer with no success.
We are missing cards/money/gift packages from a birthday celebrated last week, deposit money from our old unit totaling nearly $3,000 and a paycheck for $1,500. I would say the USPS has completely dropped the ball on this and is costing us dearly towards our bills and livelihood. If something doesn't change by March 22, we will take some action as too much money is just floating around somewhere.

First of all, I am a contract carrier for USPS. I went to work on Friday, March 9 at nine and when I got there, Dawn ** was enforcing new rules to the contract carriers. She came to my case to talk to me about it and I had brought up the fact that it says in my contract that if I am to do any extra services, the PO is to compensate us. But she proceeded to tell me to do what she says because she is the boss and she was not going to pay us. I then proceeded to tell her that I am five months pregnant and I am already having complications. She said, "I don’t care and you are going to do what I tell you.” I then got upset and started to have contractions. I then told her that I have to leave. She then stepped towards me and said, “You cannot leave." I then proceeded to tell her that I am a contract carrier and I can leave if I wanted. I told her to get out of my way.
At this time, I was in tears because I do not want to lose this baby. She talked to me like I was a child. As I was leaving, she then tried to yell at me and say you cannot leave your contract. I said I was not, but she kept pushing me to try to say that I quit. But I told her again that I did not say I quit. I just wanted to talk to with dignity and respect. Dawn ** did none of that. She has caused an uproar with contract carriers and because of her talking to us carriers that way, the work place has become a hostile workplace. I have tried to contact someone, but I am getting the runaround. I have witnesses from that day as well to confirm what has happened. I am concerned for my safety, the baby’s safety and the safety of my co-workers because she is causing a hostile work situation.

Priority and delivery confirmation package was mailed on 12/17/2011. The package contained Christmas gifts for my two great granddaughters. I have talked to about 7 or more people and and have spoken to a few in the consumer affairs office in DC and have not been able to resolve the problem. I have checked the delivery confirmation number and it tells me that the package is being processed for delivery in Germantown. In February, when I checked the delivery number, it stated that the package was undeliverable as addressed. I had a return address on the package and if it was unable to be delivered, it seems to me that it would have been returned me.
At this point, I don't know what to do. One of the people whom I talked to sent me a claim form, but after completing and sending the form in with my purchased receipts, I received it back stating that nothing could be done because it was not insured. Even though the package was not insured, the postal service should take some kind of responsibility for it not being delivered. I paid for the priority box, priority mail and delivery confirmation. At this point, I am afraid to mail anything of importance because it might not be delivered. I do hope that this situation can be looked at. Thanks in advance.

My sister, Quianna **, moved from my home in September 2011 to **, Chicago, IL 60644. She made her moving status 'Individual' when she completed the COA form online. Somehow the system shows her status as 'Family' forwarding. Now, my mail is being delivered to her new address because we have the same last name. She is not getting her mail.
We called the Bellwood Post office to find out what steps are needed to be taken to correct this. We were instructed to come to the office to complete the corrected forms. Her form was to change her status to 'Individual' mail forwarding. My form was to have my mail corrected coming from her new home to mine. This seems very strange as I did not move! This did not correct the problem. We called several times after that to both our local post offices. She visited the downtown branch to determine what needed to be corrected on her end. Each time we were told our previous step was wrong and was instructed to do something different than we did before to correct the issue.
I have called the office irate about this problem not being corrected. They have made attempts to investigate or appease me at best. I find this utterly disrespectful and unprofessional for an organization such as the USPS to mishandle a consumers personal, confidential, important property. This is now a 7-month old problem that no one seems to know how to correct. We have done everything we can do and are kept being told the same excuses. I am looking for someone that can make decisive decisions to correct this problem. My mail should be coming to **.

I have read some of your responses and they make the employees who work with the public look bad. Please note that we have to follow the last instruction given to us. If they tell us to deliver and it's already past the cut-off time, that's the reason why we are delaying some of our customers. We as carriers take the blame for everything. We do not make any rules in the USPS or we cannot make any comments.
It's sad that we, as a company, receive complaints everyday but the truth is that we, as a company, is broken. In some state, we have employees that don't have a real job. They just follow carriers on the street, lease a car and USPS is just paying almost $3.90 for gas. It is sad when you have station that do not have change and no stamps to sell to the public. Some of the new people they have hired in the postal service to follow regulars on the street can be a backup to assist the front liners, do the backup phone lines or help sort out complaints for our customers.
But as employees, we do not make calls. Our system is not perfection. We lose money everyday because of the payroll system. They have people all over the city just doing stuff--wasting the USPS payroll. The USPS can't count all their loose employees. The postmaster of other cities have employees who are doing things that do not profit any money for USPS.
On Saturday, I watch young people working for the USPS in the City of Memphis, TN following behind a regular carrier delivery, riding a car from American Car Center. It is sad that we are broken but we got money for things that do not profit USPS. Apparently, the situation is so bad that someone has to pay a transitional employee just to follow carriers and install cameras in their mail trucks.
If it is that extremely important, it makes the carriers look bad in the public eye because when you get people following us, the public see this. And as a whole, the USPS get on live TV and say that we are broke. We can't be too many people riding the streets behind mail carrier. It endangers the carriers because they don't identify themselves. It looks very disgraceful and shameful.

I have had an ongoing problem with our regular mailman for almost a year. I am disabled and cannot walk a block to get my mail and there is no one that can get it for me very often.

In the past eight days, I have only had mail twice and that is not normal for me. The reason he stopped home delivery is my grandchildren were here and my daughter-in-law had her car parked in front of my house. The mailman told the postmaster that if I can drive and have children at my house, I can walk to get my mail. I am almost to the point where I will need a wheelchair but I am trying to be as independent as I can for as long as I can, but I cannot do the walking.

On Thursday, March 8, 2012, I sent a priority mail flat-rate envelope from my office in New York city to my home near Albany, New York. 10 days have passed, and the envelope has not been delivered. I have spoken with customer service over 30 times and with my local postmaster in both the origin city and the destination city over 20 times. They kept saying to be more patient and that without delivery confirmation, there is nothing they can do. The post office thinks they are above the law and that they can get away with this. Good luck, that's all I have to say.
I am reversing my credit card payment to them, and I encourage anyone having problems with delivery to do the same. This is fraudulent. They should truly be ashamed of themselves for this "hey, it;s not my fault" attitude; it is your fault. And when you get fired because the postal service is operating in a deficit and willfully and knowingly does not run on a balanced budget. They will understand when they have to apply for food stamps (in person), since there isn't going to be a post office.
I even got an email from the national customer service center of the post office where they try to convert this to being FedEx's problem, stating that they "rent space" on FedEx airplanes and because of this, FedEx is responsible.
The missing mail packet contained one month's worth of mail from my office that I did not feel safe carrying on my person, so I shipped it home, since I was going to be out of the office for the week and wanted to be able to work from home. Also, it contained a new American Express card, my office bills, and a time-sensitive application for a grant. All are missing. I'm absolutely furious. Not to mention how it affects my family life, the frustration, and then rude one becomes to their family. This is all because of the post offices' inefficiency. They truly should be ashamed of their selves and have to answer to the US legal system.

Well, where do I start with the runaround I have been getting from the USPS? First off, I'm a regular user of the USPS and ship multiple items 2 to 3 times a week out of my eBay store until now. I take my packages into post office and pay cash to mail my items and have watched many times how rough workers handle packages, even ones marked "fragile" in bold letters by tossing them into a bin or dropping them from several feet with no regard to what it is. Makes me wonder what happens when no one is watching them during transport or in the hubs that sort the packages! Well, my last experience that prompted this letter just cost me over $200, so yes, I rather pissed not to mention all the runaround I have got.
I shipped a very expensive 10lbs transmission shaft in a heavy cardboard shipping tube taped all the way around and on both ends with commercial shipping tape. Well, my customer received the tube tore all to pieces and looked like it had been drug behind a truck and ran over several times but no shaft in it. I have spent countless hours and at least 10 phone calls and numerous trips to the post office talking with these people. Oh did I mention I paid for delivery confirmation and now almost a month later, it still shows as not delivered? So I actually paid for service I didn't get once again. Well a case was opened when my customer got his package missing contents. A week or so later, I called back and they told me it was delivered and case was closed. Huh? I said. How could you deliver it without a package and asked to speak to someone higher up who might be able to help me.
After talking to them and going through the whole thing once again (about the 5th time now), they said we will have to open another case for you! We will call you on the next business day, they said and I agreed. 3 days later, I called back since I haven't heard from them. I talked to a girl in FL, who told me they would start checking at all the places it passed through and see if they could find it. But in the same breath, she told me it's almost impossible to locate missing item unless it had your name or some other markings that could identify it. Funny as it only took a few days to lose it, so I sent them a picture which speaks a thousand words and I would only hope they have at least one smart enough person to be able to match a picture with an item. So I told her it's over 2 feet long and weighs 10+ lbs. She then told me it might take 4 to 12 weeks and if I didn't hear back from them, I could pretty much kiss it goodbye. Sorry, this is not acceptable to me.
What ever happened to customer service? I guess because it's a government job, they do what they want, when they want and get paid the big bucks to do just that. It's really no wonder our economy has wound up in the crapper and we get almost everything from overseas now because none of the major companies take any pride in their work or jobs and quit raising prices when they do less. Like so many others, I'm sure they really don't care as long as they get that paycheck every week. I do make this promise USPS, I can and will stop using your service if this is the way you chose to run your business as UPS does take a little more pride in their work and business.

On March 12, 2012, I shipped a 2-lb and 5-oz package from NJ to FL as "Priority." On the website and on my receipt, it indicated that based on that method, I can expect the delivery to be by March 14 as long as it's dropped off before 4:30pm on the 12th. The requirements were fulfilled, but the service was not! The receipt also has a "label number" that turns out to be completely useless!

After being forced to call, even the automated system wasn't able to track it. After eventually reaching a live rep. I was further dismayed to learn that the "priority" service doesn't provide tracking and that I would need to call for updates. In addition, the only info they have is that the package shipped out of NJ on the 13th and it can take up to 5 business days! 5 business days is considered priority?! There was nothing that could be done, because I had to wait until the 5 days have gone by!
I got the usual "I apologize" crap, but nothing else was offered or done. I've called twice a day everyday. Fast forward to today, and guess what?! Nothing has changed since March 13."! No updated scans, no info on the location of the package, or anything! However, that didn't ring a bell to all the reps who have looked at it. That maybe, just maybe, there's a problem that there hadn't been any scans since Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised if it was damaged, lost, stolen, or still at the facility! It was at that point that I was offered to have a case opened to research the matter!
To top that off, it will take 1 business day for a callback! I am forced to wait until March 19! I am beyond livid, because everything was misleading! This shipment was for a surprise birthday gift, and the only surprise given was the lack of business ethic and professionalism with this situation! I can't believe that there aren't hourly or even daily reports for all of their shipments to track their productivity! How can USPS ensure that packages are delivered or en-route where it should be?
I paid for a service that has not been rendered, yet every rep whom I've spoken with addresses me as the incompetent one! One even mentioned that if I had it overnight, it would have been guaranteed! The only reason I used USPS was because of the high cost with their competitors. I've worked in Logistics and Customer Service for years! This is beyond poor service. Needless to say, I will never use USPS again and will email, blog, and write complaints to any and everyone until I see fit!

I sent a package from Las Vegas to Houston, Texas on March 8, 2012. Then on the 13, I got the delivery confirmation by email that my package was already delivered. Then I called my relatives to ask about it. They told me that they had not receive any package yet. I called the USPS to report my missing package. They opened a case for me and gave me a phone number from Houston, Texas post office, so I can speak to their supervisor.
After speaking with her, she gave me the number of the USPS police or kind of. I called them and explained the whole story again, and they told me that they were gonna sent somebody to the apartment where they sign for my package. On the 15th, the lady from next door who received my package brought the package to my relative already opened, missing a pair of tennis shoes and all the baby clothing smelling like cigarettes. Also, 1 sweater and 3 t-shirts were missing. Today, she came back with the tennis shoes already used by her daughter. What an offensive person. I want her to pay me $250 for the stuff that she infected with her cigarette smoke and for the used tennis shoes.
It seems like the USPS wants to keep all the case like low profiling. I think I'm gonna need an attorney for this, because I called them today to ask for an update on my case and the lady on the phone told me that I have to wait 2 days until I receive a letter over the mail. Come on! Seriously! My relatives are going on vacations in a few days. I can't be waiting for a week until they fix their mailman's mess.

I had a delivery that I wasn't home for on Monday, March 12. I re-scheduled the delivery for Thursday, March 15 and it never came. Friday, March 16, I went to my local post office (Morrisania branch at 442 E 167 St) and was told my package was not in the branch. I would need to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor finally came to speak to me after I waited an hour for the supervisor (a Hispanic woman who refused to give me her name) to come and speak with me. She informed me the box wasn't in the branch.
My normal delivery person was off on Thursday, March 15 and the floater that covered his route wasn't in, so they couldn't call him to find out where the package was. I should just go home and wait for the delivery. When I inquired about why I hadn't received the package on Thursday, March 15 after I had scheduled a re-delivery date, her response was, "I don't know." Anytime, I have to visit this post office, I encounter rude postal workers. The Morrisania has been my local branch for the last 15 years and the service has only gotten worse. Today was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The supervisor simply had no regard for the time that spent waiting on her to come and speak with me. While I’m sure nothing will come of this complaint, I hope it will at least be read.

I used priority mail with tracking and confirmation for verification of the arrival to send off an important document that needed to arrive to a prospective employer within a timeline of 5 days, the estimated date of arrival to the location I mailed it to using priority mail was the following day. I logged on after 3 days and saw that my mail was sent out of state! This is the second time, in less than 1 month that I used priority mail to send an important document and twice, my priority mail was misrouted, which caused me a potential job opportunity the first time and the second time; it caused me to reschedule an important meeting.

I mailed a package on February 14th to Canada (priority mail $25.50). The lady asked what’s the value and I said $275, thinking this was my insurance. 30 days later, it said it left Nashua on 14th and sorted in Jamaica, New York on the 15th. Now, 30 days later, it has not showed up. I was not offered express mail as the knowledge of the clerk must be limited. I had to find this out after the fact that for about $5.00 more I could have had tracking. They say it is not traceable, yet it is if it’s scanned. No one will help. The local post say don’t worry it will show up. I called supervisors, Canada post, and they said custom’s number is not in their system. The last thing said was contact my local senator.
This was an eBay item and the woman wants her money back ($275.00). Looks like I am out the money as I have to refund her soon. She won’t wait forever. I don’t blame her. I will take it as far as I need. After 6 to calls from Canada Customs to Canada Post to USPS and back from supervisors on down to clerk, they won’t help. They’re so sorry for my situation. They understand. I won’t ship anything to Canada unless they purchase express with tracking and insurance.
With all the nightmares, why would a person not buy insurance? It’s like they try to sell you the cheapest service to get you in the end. And I don’t blame Canada. The last place it was scanned was New York. It seems like USPS sets you up to lose mail and I read the nightmares on the net all the time. I think it’s time the local post office get replaced with better ways of keeping track of mail. First class was $4. There’s no difference according to people that work their.

The USPS tracking system is completely useless, and they never seem to deliver by the promised date. Every month I place two orders from a vendor and pay for express shipping, which costs me an additional $12 per order. The vendors, with whom I've done business for years, are very reliable and ship my packages the following business day, so I know I can count on their information.
The most recent example, which is typical of all my orders, I had a package that was picked up by the USPS on Monday, March 12, 2012. It was supposed to be delivered no later than Wednesday, March 14th, by 3:00 p.m. It is now Thursday and still no package. When tracking the package, the USPS website says, “The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on March13, 2012 to expect your package for mailing.” In other words, they are claiming they have not yet received a package; only to expect a package.
When calling the USPS customer service line, and tracking the package that way, the recorded message states that they were notified of the shipment on Monday, March 12, 2012. When talking with the customer service agent, they claim they were notified on the 13th. When I ask why their tracking information is inconsistent and is never updated, which makes the tracking system completely useless, they apologize and assure me the tracking website only updates once per day. I informed them that is not updated daily and point out that three days later, their system still says the same thing.
Again, they just apologize and brush it off. Never once has the shipment gone as planned, and never once has their tracking information been up to date. Often, the package will finally arrive, and their tracking system will finally update to say the package is now at a sorting facility in some other state.No one is ever held accountable, and they still keep my $24 a month for express shipping. It's ironic. When on hold while on the phone with the USPS, the recorded infomercial claims they have the most reliable shipping service in the world, when in fact, in my experience, they have the most unreliable service. It seems they do what they want, no one is held accountable, and the consumer suffers.

The teller advised me that it would be guarantee delivered on 1-14-12. I paid the $16.15 fee for the letter to be delivered the next day. When I called the office on Tuesday, the agent had not received the letter. I checked the tracking log and it indicated that the letter was not delivered until 1-17-12. I could have paid and sent the letter via regular mail for delivery from 1-13-12 to 1-17-12.
I'm asking for a refund in the total amount of $16.15. I was guaranteed delivery and did not receive it. I called the Kensington, MD's post office and was told to bring in the receipt and I would receive a refund. When I went to the post office, upon approaching the teller to advise her of my situation, she took my receipt and went in the back behind a wall and I guess got the supervisor. I stood there for at least 10 minutes and didn't know what was going on. Some lady came from behind the partition and stated, that she was unable to give me a refund, because the 12th of January was on a Saturday, further stating that the 15th was on a Sunday and 16th was on a Monday (which was a holiday). Since the office was not opened on a Holiday, Express mail was not able to make the deliver.
This lady, (who never identified herself, never apologized to me for waiting for a long time with no explanation, or ever greeted me with a Hello) stated that when I was in the office on the 13th of January (Friday) and since Saturday and Sunday were both non-working days and Monday was a holiday, that I wasn't entitled to a refund, basically due to Monday being a holiday. The office was closed.
I informed this lady that when I requested next day delivery, I wasn't told that since today is Friday and tomorrow and the next days were Saturday and Sunday and Monday was a holiday, she couldn't guarantee me next day delivery. I would have taken the regular mail route. I assumed that the clerk knew that the 16th was a holiday; she never said that, you know Monday the 16th is a holiday, so your letter will not be delivered until Tuesday 17th. Never was I told this. I completed the form and she gave me a receipt with the statement imprinted that 1-14-12 at 3:00 PM was the expected delivery. Money back guarantee signature waived. It also stated that the refund was for guaranteed service only.
When I checked out the status of the letter, it’s showing me that the letter did not get into Syracuse until the 14, of January and arriving at the destination on Tuesday January 17. Please review my compliant. I'm requesting for a refund. Please provide me with a written reply. I believe if I had sent my letter by regular mail it would had arrive approximately on the same date and the next day delivery with less money spent.

The USPS states they left the package on the front door when nobody answered the door bell. However, all of our family members were home that day the delivery man left the package. No one from our family heard the doorbell, nor seen any package at the front door. I've contacted the local post office regarding this issue; however the so-called supervisor stated that they have done their job in delivering the item, and if it went missing, it is not their responsibility to look for the missing item. They have left it at the door, but nobody picked it up, therefore it's our problem for not getting the package.
The situation of my important package being missing itself was very frustrating, but most importantly how the supervisor, who takes responsibility in delivering the mails in my community, was very rude and extremely unhelpful.

This time, in order to save a few dollars, I gambled on the post office because I still perceived them to be a respectable organization. So, I let them handle the delivery of the second 20 of my new books. That was a big mistake! Not only did they drop the 25 lb pound box causing it to split completely open, spilling all 20 copies of my 380 page book on the ground but they put dirty books back into a very poorly taped box in a helter-skelter (senseless) order that caused even more damage to my property. Not a moment was spent by the post office cleaning my books off or trying to arrange them in a manner that would prevent further damage. Even the seams of the box, which were now split completely apart, were taped so poorly as to leave one inch gaps for the books to shift around even further while in transit. Bent and damaged covers and filthy books was the result of their poor package handling skills.
Furthermore, not one person stood up to take responsibility for their mistake. If that was one of my people and they tried to cover this up and not display the honesty of admitting fault and offering an apology then I would fire them on the spot! Not the post office. They just say, "It's not our problem. You should have bought insurance." What I should have done was to pay the extra money to have a respectable company, one that actually cares about its deliveries ship these to me.

The post office in Union has checked and found that there is no scanning from the Decatur post office indicating that the package was sent to Union, NJ as of today 3/12/12. I called Decatur and spoke with two supervisors, both indicated that the package left Decatur on March 2nd or 3rd.
Mr. ** stated that they do not have the package and do not scan when a package leaves Decatur. He cannot account for the location of the package and was very arrogant when I asked how they verify that the package was actually returned. Union, NJ does not have my package and Decatur, GA cannot give me a current location of the package and will only state that it was undeliverable and should be on its way back. Union assures me that they are required to put that information in the system and it has not been done by Decatur. Please assist me in obtaining the whereabouts of my package. Decatur received it but is not providing any accountability for the package. Federal postal standards are universal. I cannot believe that Union, NJ is following protocol but Decatur, GA is not. Any assistance you can provide in requesting Decatur, GA to locate my package would be greatly appreciated. Their telephone number is **. Thank you.

I don't know how many times, but my package is lost on the way to my door. During the delivery time, nobody was at home, the tracking number shows it's delivered. I called post office, they said it's delivered. I filed a complaint again, what else can I do? Now the Flushing Office Supervisor left a voice message telling me to check again.
I moved 3 different places inside flushing, whenever the package is small size, enough to be pocketed, it's gone. Sometimes, they deliver an empty package torn off with hands, with the content inside gone. I'm pretty sure there's mail theft in the Flushing Post Office. I filed complaints for 3 years now, happens repeatedly. There's a bunch of mail thefts in Flushing Office. Do not use USPS in the area especially if the package is small in size.

I have been waiting for a package that’s due to arrive around Feb 21. It was an eBay transaction. I’ve been to the post office a number of times looking for this package. I usually get the delivery slips when a package arrives. The post master told me that a woman had come to the PO stating she was my daughter, and she was there to pick up my package. He gave it to her.
My complaint is that she didn’t sign for it, nor did he ask for her ID. He told me after I had gone there, with confirmation tracking of the package and arrival of the said package, and that it left the post office on Feb. 21 at 3:29 in the afternoon, and that there was nothing he could do. I don’t feel it’s right that my package was given to someone else, and that there is nothing he will do about it.
I’m going to ask for complaint form 2016, and also writing a letter to the editor. Maybe this fictitious daughter of mine will return the package. I have no idea if this person went into my mailbox, or if the slip was delivered to the wrong address. The post master did not offer the complaint form, and he did say because it wasn’t insured, it didn’t need to be signed for, and that the post office was not responsible! They are responsible! they gave it to the wrong person!

The post office that operate in my community is very shady and unresponsive. They claim they are holding my mail because I don't pick it up every 2-3 days. They leave a slip that doesn't have anything checked nor a date listed or who was responsible for the decision. When I went there to pick it up, they claim they sent it back to the sender. This week they did it again. After maybe five days, my mail is left there again. I know my mailbox is not even half full but they keep taking it out and throwing it away later. The post office responsible for this is the Citrus Annex Office (1941 California St.) in Corona. All of their employees seem to be trained to tell us that it's our fault for leaving it in the mailbox for more than three days. This is my mail. I should be able to do what I want with it.

On February 27, I received a phone call from the Westgate post office; they received my daughter's passport application but they could not process it because first-time applicants have to submit their application in person at the post office. The woman said she would hold my daughter's application and I could come pick it up. She also assisted with making an appointment for my daughter regarding the passport application.
On March 3, I went to the Westgate post office, and the staff acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. They looked around for the application, but they could not find it. They suggested I come back when the other staff member was there. I returned on March 7 and spoke with the same people, but this other individual was not in the office, so I was given her phone number.

As directed by the man on the phone at Folsom post office, we left a hand written note, signed with my signature, that any packages received by the post office with our name and address is to be placed on the front door of our home.

My home address where I receive my mail is: **. Also, I have a PO Box ** located in the Bitter Lake Station. I had to acquire a PO Box due to the fact that I was missing mail too often. Although I have a PO Box, some mail like credit cards were stolen from my box at my street address. I had to deal with it and had to buy a keyed mailbox for my street address. The mail is delivered to my home address at around 11AM, so I pick up DVDs sent from Netflix. I have enough time to watch my movie from 11AM until afternoon at around 4:45PM. I return the DVD at the postal office. This has been a routine for a while until I started to miss the delivery that Netflix has scheduled.
One day, about a month and a half ago, after missing a delivery, I called the post office for an explanation. According to the attendant, everything was normal. That was my first complaint. The second time my mail was not at home at 11AM, I waited all day long until I saw the mail carrier vehicle approaching my block just a few minutes before 4PM. To my surprise, the vehicle turned around the corner at the block before mine, so I waited again. When I had waited long enough, I decided to go see where the vehicle had gone. Again, to my surprise, I noticed that the vehicle turned onto Aurora Ave N heading toward the postal station. So I went to the postal station and complained again to the attendant. For these two times, I had to submit my driver's license to check on my address and document the occurrence. Again, the explanation I got was that everything was normal.
On Saturday, 03-03-2012, I had a schedule to receive my DVD from Netflix. When my mail didn't arrive at 11AM, I waited until 1:30 and called the office. At 2:00, U went to complaint about my missing mail. The attendant had his explanations, but my mail has not been delivered. At 3:00PM, I called again but the phone was disconnected so I went to the office. The office was closed for business at that time, the buzzer at the service door was disconnected and so I went home and stopped at a place to eat. At around 4:50, I was arriving at home and noticed that the mail carrier vehicle was pulling away from my block. My mail had been delivered, but way too late and after the postal office had been closed for a couple of hours. These mail holdings caused me a great deal of inconveniences because it cost me money that I am paying to have these DVDs delivered and returned on time to keep a steady and normal flow of my DVD service.
An example of these inconveniences is now. If I had had my DVD delivered at 11AM or before closing time last Saturday, I could have had returned that DVD on time. I returned that DVD at around 6PM on that Saturday. If I had returned that DVD before closing time that day, I should be receiving my next DVD tomorrow Tuesday, 07. Now, I have to wait until Netflix receives their DVD to schedule another shipment. As you see, these mail holdings offsets my services for which I am paying. Before, when I didn't know why my mail was not delivered on time and at the day it is scheduled to be at home, I had to take it as it was. But now, enough is enough. Now I know why I have been missing my deliveries and I want this issue to be corrected immediately. I thank you very much for your kind and immediate attention.

This overstuffing does not allow the key to turn to open the mail box. Ms. ** came over on Feb. 29, 2012, opening the carrier door to release my mail. Today's date is March 2. 2012. I again cannot turn my key to open my mailbox. I spoke with the manager Ms. Borenda ** today at 4:02PM, about the ongoing problem with the mail carrier, not being careful of overstuffing the mailboxes, preventing the residents from retrieving their mail.
The West Brae location does not see any responsibility on the carrier’s poor job in overstuffing the mails of the residents, and will not come to release my mail anymore. I asked what the policy was for the amount a carrier should put in a box. Ms. **, as well as Ms. ** says the carrier can stuff as much as fitting in the box. On February 29, 2012, the mail Ms. ** released for me was balled up, as if it was thrown away, instead of delivered. This shows the carrier is overstuffing, with no concern if the lock can be turned by the resident. I have opened a case with the Consumer Affairs Department on February 29, 2012, because my problem has been ongoing, since the original carrier left my route. Please help me in resolving this problem.

I paid $16.75 to have a package delivered to a PO Box at the Nantucket, Maine post office. I paid extra for signature confirmation. The package was delivered nearly a week ago and there is still no update in your system showing it was ever delivered and there is no delivery confirmation. Now, I am having problems with the package. The cost to me is substantial. I have called the main post office several times without success at getting my problem solved (1-800 ASK); finally, they said to call the Nantucket office. I called several times over the period of a couple of days without any response. No one has responded to my messages. No calls, no updates to the system. What kind of post office do we have if we cannot count on the system to work? I paid good money for a service that I never received, and the cost to me is thousands of dollars.

We here in Bowling Green, KY have been lied to! As we have all heard post offices are being shut down and our sorting is now going to be done in Nashville, TN. That is a blatant lie based on most recent tracking on multiple packages in and out of the area. Evidence: Two parcels went out. one to a small KY town just north of BG and one sent from BG, KY to PA. Did they stop in Nashville for sorting? No! They are skipping Nashville all together and being routed straight to Memphis. I send parcels out all the time and since the change, not one of these, even the ones coming straight back to KY are going to Nashville!
So I test mailed a letter to myself on February 28th. It is now the 2nd, four days and still has not arrived. Nashville is just 60 miles from BG. Memphis is practically another state away. The delay, not to mention the extra gas and logistics. How exactly is this going to save the USPS money? People are going to quit using USPS all together and they will lose even more revenue, not to mention customers!

My case number is **. This is unacceptable! We have never had any problems with any courier since we had the young female.

She did not leave the slip that day but the next day, she tried to put the slip in the door with the other mail.
When I opened the door to get the mail, I noticed the date on the slip was from the day before, which she tried to hurry away. I wanted to ask her why didn't she leave the slip or package. If she would have tried to really deliver the package, my security door is unlocked for that purpose (for packages). I really don't think she even care! I have family and friends working at the post office and deliver mail and said that if we let it go, it will continue! I am really angry that no one contacted me yet by phone or e-mail! This is unacceptable for the courier and from management! With all the job cuts, you would think that she would value her job! Dissatisfied customer!

I went to the post office located at 71459 at 3:35 pm today to find that the window services were closed, no change of address forms in the lobby, and to boot, the hours of operation have been scraped off the doors. I’ve wasted time and costly fuel trying to get my change of address completed. The address used in this email is the old address. My new one is **, Leesville, LA 71446. My mail is still being delivered to an address that I no longer live at and is now subject to being stolen. We started trying to turn in a change of address as soon as we rented our new place. There needs to be a form you can download, print, fill out and mail or hand back into a post office to get this completed. My husband is a retired postal worker.

Non-delivery of Mail: My girlfriend and I moved into an apartment in late September 2011. It was a newly renovated building and the city issued a new address. The landlord met with the mail carrier to decide upon a good location for the mailbox. For the first couple of weeks, we received all mail, but ever since, it arrives sporadically. At least half our mail is returned to sender, address unknown. This week a credit card was suspended because mail is consistently returned to them. My cell phone company has threatened to do the same. Christmas cards were all returned to sender. Utility bills (predictably) are the only mail that arrives without fail. We have been to our local branch on several occasions and each time they said they would correct the problem, yet it was never resolved.
In January, we called the "Consumer Advocate," quickly received an email from the USPS, then never heard back again. Here is a copy of the email: "Dear Customer, This is an auto-reply message provided to acknowledge our receipt of your inquiry. Your issue is being assigned for review, research, and resolution.

I ordered somethings online that cost close to $200 and was tracking it day by day. When the day came for it to be out for delivery, I checked my mailbox and my package was not there even though it said it was delivered. So the next day, I went to my local post office to let them know what the problem was. They looked in the computer to find out the mail carrier who delivered the mail that day. They gave me a phone number to call the next morning to get more information. So I called and the phone stayed busy. So early in the morning, I went back to the post office to talk to another manager. He was of no help either. He brought the mail carrier to me so I can see who she was and she said she never delivered the mail to my residents at the time that was shown with the tracking number. He said he would call me back in 2 hours with some information.
He actually called me back and said he didn't get any more information, so he told me to get a pen to write down a 1800 number and while I was getting a pen, he hung up the phone. I called the number back, there was no answer so I went back to the post office to confront him. They told me he left for the day. I truly believe a mail carrier stole my package and I'm not getting any justice. This is not the first time this has happened to me. This is the third time.

Being a graveyard worker, I do much of my shopping online since most stores are not open when I get out of work. I usually use UPS or FedEx when I need a parcel that is time sensitive; otherwise, I use USPS. When ordering products online, I am given a tracking system showing on what date my products are in town and out for delivery. I track my orders daily so that I can be up waiting on the mail on the expected delivery date. I began noticing that when I use USPS, that the delivery man would just put an orange slip in the mail box and I would have to wait for the next business day to pick up my parcels.
At first, I thought it was no big deal; however, this is with every parcel that I order. So I began leaving the door wide open around the time the mail would come--same outcome. Finally, I was kind of fed up with having to get dressed, go up to the post office and stand in line for 45 minutes. I called the local post office and filed a complaint with the supervisor. The supervisor assured me that he would have a talk to the delivery person.
Soon after, I began noticing that I would not receive mail for 2, 3, even 4 days at a time. And when I did, I would have an abundance of mail for the day. Well, maybe they have been backed up at the post office. Finally, on Feb. 24th, I ordered a ring online. My ring arrived in ABQ on the 27th at 7:43 am, Sorting complete on the 27th at 8:09 am, Out for Delivery on the 27th at 8:19 am, no status update as of Feb 27th at 10:19 pm, no further update since.
I've called to talk to the post office and they told me that they would talk to the delivery man and ask him about my parcel. They took my number and said that they would call me back--there was no call back. I called the next day and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told that the supervisor would give me a call before six o'clock--no call back.
Angry and concerned, yesterday, I called and spoke with Noah (supervisor) and he said that the delivery man never came across a parcel for my address and I need to file a claim with the company I ordered my ring from. It is this type of behavior that the postal service is getting a bad reputation. Tampering with peoples' mail out of retaliation is a federal offense no matter what way you look at it. Lastly, my boyfriend ordered a CD from online being delivered by USPS. It was out for delivery on the 28th and surprisingly, no status update ever since. This is out of control and stressing me out.

I'm filing a complaint against our mail carrier. They would not give us her name. Everything started back a few years ago when a snow blow knocked over our neighbors and our mailboxes. Winter that year was extremely cold, below zero and snow was a lot, I must say. Being that we were unable to fix our boxes until weather was better, until then we had to just support them the best we could. Our neighbor was elderly and we were to do his for him also. Mail service didn't approve of the support we had but there was nothing we could do and they were at a level where they could function. I know because I have an SUV and had no trouble pulling up to my mailbox and reaching in to receive my mail.
However, our carrier decided she didn't like this. One day, I watched her push over our mail boxes and took our mail back to the post office but left a nasty note for us on our mailboxes before doing this. I immediately went and reported her and from this day our service has been horrible. She refuses to come to our door for certified mail and she jams packages in our box that don't even really fit in it and is very difficult to get out. Luckily, we have not had any damage to what has been inside these boxes. I do not work and wait for our mail to come before leaving my home, especially when I know we are to receive certified mail or packages via US Postal Service. She makes no attempt to come to our door. I have discussed this several times with the supervisor and this last discussion with ** the supervisor of Mattawan Post Office, 55680 N, Main St, Mattawan, MI 49071.
With today’s closing of postal stations and laying off of employees, you would think they would appreciate their jobs. I'm sure we've been tagged as complainers but we've done nothing. Nothing will be left at our door, even when we sign consent. All of this over our mailboxes being knocked over years ago that we had no control over. And when the weather cleared we bought and fixed both our neighbor’s and our own mail boxes. They even tried to complain it was the wrong height and distance from road after being done but we made sure everything was by regulation. We would like some form of corrective action taken, seeing the supervisor has done nothing for this. It's been at least 3 years now and our service stinks. The Mattawan Post Office staff has always been very pleasant when I go inside, so we have no complaint with them.

On February 10, 2012, I went to my local neighborhood postal center 20 minutes until 5 pm just before last mail pickup route to have a package delivered to Puerto Rico for Valentine's to my granddaughter. I had everything properly in the box ready to ship. I only needed to seal the top of the package. I asked the associate that was handling my mail if she could kindly seal the top for me as I had ran out of tape. Before she sealed the box, I noticed that she peeked to see what was in there and said, "Oh, you have lots of stuff in there," and took the box to the back and said she had to weigh and measure it in order to charge accordingly to postal charges. So I was okay with that but this was not the first time I have sent a box the exact same size before and I was wondering why would she take it to the back if the weight station was right in front of me where she has always had it. Well, she came back and said if I wanted to pay $20 for shipping or $50. I said to her, "What's the difference in the price?" She responded $25 she gets it in 2 to 9 days and $50 in 4 or less because of the holiday.
So I said no rush. I will pay the $25 hoping the package would arrive on time since my sister had just sent a package going the same route a day before me. My sister's package arrived just on time two days earlier than expected. I gave mine the time specified 2 to 9 days. The nine days passed by giving it two more days after Valentine's and still nothing had been delivered or returned to sender. So I went to the postal center where I sent it off from and explained that the package had not been delivered yet and she said give it another week. Now, at this point, I'm really mad and suspect that she might have kept the package herself because that day that I took the package in, she had her granddaughter there with her in the office but I didn't think anything of it until the package became lost, not delivered or mishandled mail.
Her granddaughter was the same size as the belongings that I was sending to my granddaughter and that put me to think that the package never made it out of there since she did peek in the box and mentioned what I had in there. Well, it's now March 1st and the package still has not been delivered. I don't plan on going there anymore. I don't trust her handling my mail anymore. There were two other times since before the second week went by that I let her know about the package not making it to its destination and she said this happens all the time, "You're not the only one it happens to." But it was the way she said it that convinced me it never went out. She never looked me in the eye. She was talking to me but not looking at me straight-faced.

USPS postal carrier never delivered the mail to my 57701 address and sent it back to the sender. The sender sent another mail asking for address verification to my old address (zip code 62025) as now they got my old address because USPS returned my earlier mail without delivering it. I verified my change of address from USPS as it was done in August 12, 2011 and it is in good order.

But again, folks on 62025 address haven't received this delivered mail yet.
We started our inquiry from government agency that sent us the mail and got the tracking number for it. USPS tracking system says mail was delivered, but in fact, that mail has never been delivered. We are very sure about this because of the fact that USPS office in zip code 62025 just delivered old piece of mail on Feb. 28, 2012 with the request of address verification from government agency that was sent on January.

The mail at my dental office goes to the wrong business post box at least once a week and sometimes it is considerable mail. Today, a stack of mail one inch thick went to the business across the street and they had to bring it to us. This is getting pretty serious because that stack of letters was full of checks worth hundreds of dollars. I am trying to run a business and this mail mix up is getting upsetting. We have gotten our neighboring medical office's mail many times and if someone in my office inadvertently opened one of their envelopes we would be in violation of HIPPA laws. Please help us. We've told our local post office about this. If it were once or twice it wouldn't be a problem, but it is reaching a consistent level.

Priority service did not arrive! - I paid for priority mail and package got lost. I called Pasco post office for compensation on postage only and was told that there was nothing they could do. I will not use USPS again and will pay the extra for UPS/FedEx. They lost a customer.

I tracked a package that weighed 2 ounces. It was delivered on February 15th. Today is February 27th so I called the post office in Hawley, Pennsylvania and the postmaster said he would have the mail carrier check the boxes that needed a key for large items. Living in a rural area, our boxes are all clumped together. He said he would call back when she returned. I had to call him. He told me that the package was delivered on the 15th and a key put in our box. No key ever received. The package weighed 2 oz. I am sure our mail carrier looked for our package today but unfortunately with no avail.
He sternly stated that it was delivered. I told him this was a cake topper for my son's birthday and that upset me. He then said if you say you did not get the package, you think the mail carrier stole it. So unprofessional. Our mail carrier is a very nice person. His unprofessionalism was uncalled for. I am reporting this not because I lost my $10 because the package was not insured. I am reporting this because I do not want anyone else to go through this type of treatment that is not necessary. It does not cost much to be nice. Thank you for your time. When I called the lady she had no more of the toppers available--that will really disappoint my son being a big NY Rangers fan. Again, thank you.

Package was coded to zip code 27604 instead of 27614. 27604 marked it as shipped to get out of error queue... causing this package to be permanently marked as shipped, even though it never arrived. I called several times and was told it would be delivered the next day. On one one occasion, I was told it would be returned to me. I never received the package back. I filed a case, and the package still hasn't been recovered. It is at a sorting facility somewhere in Raleigh, NC. I would really appreciate someone locating this package and delivering to correct address.

The USPS website says my packages are still at the ISC in New York, though I received 1 of the 2 packages and was never required to sign for it. I always thought registered mail requires signatures to ensure receipt and delivery. My assumption is ISC released my packages to the local post office. Then, someone at my local post office kept my packages and never scanned the other so that theft cannot be traced.

My mail is not being forwarded via the procedures specified - I filled out and dropped off two COAs. One at the Plant City, FL post office and one at the Thonotosassa, FL post office on the 2nd of February for a start date of Feb. 3. I have a confirmation letter with a confirmation code of **. I have not had a single piece of mail forwarded to date. My mail is still being delivered to my old address. The reason I filled out two is to be sure that my mail does not continue to be delivered to that old address. I have had no help from my new post office or the old servicing post office. Help!

My mailman rides up and down my street 3 or 4 times a day before delivering my mail. I never get mail until after 4pm. My mailman makes my section his last stop of the day but I see him ride past my house 3 or 4 times before delivering my mail. Why is it when he is not working and there is a sub for him, I get my mail early?! My mailman is lazy and he is only trying to get extra money so he extends his time. Also, 2 out of those 3 or 4 times, I see him he is taking a break! I mean literally just sitting in his truck doing nothing! Most businesses close at 4 or 5, I can’t pay any bills or take care of anything because he is always running at 4 or 4:30.
This does not make sense to me! If this matter is not resolved, I will take this to a higher authority! This does not make sense! especially when he is seen going in the same direction, it’s like he just make circles to kill time and get overtime pay but I’m tired of my mail coming at 4 or close to 5 o’clock. Every time someone else is working his route, it never fails. They are always early or at least before 2pm. Why can’t he get his deliveries done at this time?!

The mailman put my SSI check in somebody else's mailbox and that person encashed it. These people who are in charge of the mail need to be more careful especially with government checks. They were always in such a hurry without double checking things. This caused trouble to me and my kids--a hardship that was unnecessary, and this really pisses me off.

I had packages mailed to me on the 02/21/12 and the last update was 02/23/12 that the packages was out for delivery but it never showed up. Went to the post office 02/25/12 and they said they don't have my package and would investigate. I was very upset. It brought me to tears because one of the packages was from my mother and the things in there cannot be replaced. On my way home, I got a phone call from the post office telling me that one of my packages was there and to come get it and it just arrived which was a lie because I was just there and the system showed it was out for delivery to my address two days ago. This is not the first time and will be seeking legal help. Also there was no mail delivered to my address on 02/24/12. I am very very upset that something as important as mail delivery is not taken seriously.

I only know that the driver's last name is ** who has repeatedly damaged the blinds on our front door. I have overlooked it since I opened my business in 2007 but today (February 24, 2012) I am now speaking out. I have asked him several times to be more careful when making deliveries. Today, he severely bent over 12 slats in the blinds on the front door. They are beyond repair and I'm sure I will have to replace them only to have him destroy them again. Please don't think I am over reacting because as I stated above, this has been an ongoing thing.

I've lived in Carlisle for 16 years. I have a rural route box. My 86-year-old mother lives here too and has cancer. We get some important medical mail and prescriptions for her in that box. We have gotten the wrong mail for streets in Carlisle that have the 205 numbers and sometimes places around that I don't know. I've taken mail back to the post office many times, just trying to be nice and not just throwing it away. This happens at least two times a week or sometimes more.
Today, I saw the route driver come down the street and I went to get the mail right after she went through. The mail box was standing open and again had some loan papers for someone at ** here in town. I've wondered many times how much of my mail was delivered to someone else and just got pitched. I will no longer put up with this problem and it's way past time for people to do their job. Like I said, I've tried to be nice but that just doesn't work with people that insist on not taking the time to deliver mail properly.
I've thought of getting a PO box, but I've talked to two people in town who have them and they say they have the same problem, so it's not affecting just me. I understand more each day why the postal service is broke. Please let me know if this problem needs to be taken higher because I will not stop until the mail is delivered properly!

USPS screwed up again. I have had mail delivered to the wrong mailbox on three separate occasions. The first time, they delivered an important set of government documents to the wrong mailbox. Luckily, the person that received it had a soul and gave it to the building manager. The second time involved some e-liquid. I never received it because most of the people in my building are animals. I was not able to get a refund from the company.
I complained to USPS. They called me. I tried to call them back and I was on hold for over 45 minutes (I guess I am not the only one that has to deal with the nonsense). A 45 minute hold to me indicates that I am being blown off. The third time happened today. USPS tracking showed a package was delivered but it was not in my mailbox and the manager did not receive the package, so it’s lost in the ether. I guess it’s hard for the paste eaters that deliver the mail to put small packages and letters in the mailbox in a timely and efficient matter. I might be expecting too much from them. Needless to say, I despise incompetent morons.

It does not matter what happened, when, what, and where, because it is getting a constant situation. Some lost mail, or not delivered, and the sender post office advised us to complain at the receiver post office. At that point, the receiver post office is telling us to complain to the sender post office. Then, they told us to wait 90 days. Past these 90 days is too late. There is nothing they can do. Neither are they sorry. What makes me angrier is that at no time, has anyone tried to look somewhere. They just wait for the consumer to give up. In the meantime, they are sitting on a big pile of benefits, and want more money all the time on the stamp. They lost the parcel business by UPS. They lost the express mail with FedEx, but it is not enough to understand, and they persist to have declining service. My local USPS has a full tribe of people behind the counter, walking through and doing nothing. There is never enough form at the front, so we can arrive prepared, and this priority service they advertise on TV. Irt has never been the appropriate advertising for them. What is next?

I learned that the primary post office our community uses in 90807 (Atlantic) will be closed. We also have another in 90805 (Market street) that is the absolute pits. It's filthy, nominal service, graffitti-ridden, no parking, in a challenged part of town-- just terrible. I don't know if the one in 90805 is closing, but if there is a choice between the two, it must be 90805 that goes, not 90807. Also, if 90807 goes away there is no viable post office within a reasonable radius, probably a good 5 or 6 miles away in another town. You must rethink this strategy. 90807 is an excellent post office conveniently located for these two zip codes serving about 150,000 or more residents. Please, please, please close 90805. If you need to downsize 90807, there are small locations available in the shopping center nearby. 90807 is a necessary and important location close to multiple banks, businesses and residents, half a block from a very busy main corridor and an extremely business intersection. 90805 is on a small street with inadequate access. Please, please, please do the right thing and leave 90807 open and close 90805!

In the last three weeks, I've received four different neighbors' taxes returns, one for a person on my block and one the block before, the other two not even close to my street. Today, I got mail from IRS that was opened. On the outside, it says "Opened at ** Eugene, not here at this address. The address on the IRS letter was correct at ** Eugene which means not only am I receiving other people's mail, but they are receiving mine as well.
