Totally agree about taking care of the quality usps workers. Always leave a dollar in the tip jar.

Two things....
First, I have had a few packages dropped in the blue box that do not receive a scan entering or leaving my local sort center...they do not receive their first scan until they reach a sort center near their destination. Possibly, your packages fall into this scenario. Second, I routinely drop into a blue box and the only time multiple packages did not receive a scan I contacted the local post master. He explained to me that there is some sort of bin in the bottom of the blue box and that these four or so missing packages may have fallen to the outside of this bin and were missed by the USPS worker completing the pickup at that box. He said he would speak to this worker.....a few days later, they showed up in the system....likely these were missed in the blue box itself. I would call the toll free USPS number and open a case...if you do not get anywhere, expedite your case. |

I have nothing bad to say about the USPS.
I often use the self service kiosk with no problems. As a buyer, I've had one item "lost" and considering the seller had "feedback hidden", I don't think it was ever sent.

Always ask a receipt
If they won't do it talk to the Postmaster .

NEVER drop in a mail box.........bring them into the Post Office and they are scanned then and there.

I am with you on this one. I don't tip people to be good at their job. They should just be good, because they are getting paid and they want to keep their job. The entitlement in this country is out of control. It is not like the service industry where they are getting a fraction of the minimum wage. I forget where I was, but I saw a tip jar out. The only thing I re-call was having to pay, like triple what I would have in another scenario, and I thought to myself, "the audacity of that thing", and what it would be like if I swatted it off of the counter without breaking eye contact with the person at the counter. With that said, I have never had a problem with the mail, or even a single package and this is now my 5th address over 30 years. Last edited by PhillipAbbott79; 06-01-2017 at 06:10 AM. |

I have had the good fortune to travel extensively internationally since retirement back in 2007 and have come to appreciate our postal system, whatever it's shortcomings.

My worst experience with USPS was in the spring/summer of 1976 and it wasn't the USPS's fault.
Got a call from the Post Office that they had something of mine that they thought looked important. Turned out that some dipshit had set off fireworks in the PO collection box at the corner and had burnt up the student loan application that I had mailed. Enough of it survived that the PO could figure out it was mine. Got another application, filled it out again, and then proceeded to the actual post office to mail it in person! |

Two weeks ago I had a package that was "delivered" according to USPS. I do not have it. It didn't arrive the day they say it was "delivered". When I talked to the Post Master, he said it was delivered. That's all they can go with. This was only a four dollar item, but it has happened to me once before. Awful.

My Observations Regarding....
....the USPS echos what most people here have already stated. I am a fan of the postal service and consider them to be a terrific bargain and generally staffed by good, ethical and hard working people. I send everything, beyond 1st class envelopes, from the counter at my local PO. The clerk always offers me a detailed register receipt including destinations. I have always viewed dropping over sized/overweight envelopes as a crap shoot. I could have misjudged weight and under stamped the thing. It seems best to minimize the opportunities for problems and hand it to the counter person. Of course this limits the day, for most people, to do a shipping. But again....minimize the opportunities for trouble. And I also remember my rural carrier and substitute carrier at Christmas. I let them know that every piece of mail is important to me and their understanding of that is appreciated.

Is a "mail lady" the opposite of a "femail man"?

Two different issues bother me concerning my mail delivery.
First, on enough instances to consider it a trend, the tracking # says that it is delivered and it wasn't. It is delivered the next day. I have grown to expect it periodically. I can deal with it. The situation that pisses me off just happened again this week. We happened to have our A/C go out over the holiday weekend. They made a temporary fix and came out on Tuesday to fix it right. At 1:30PM I was in my driveway shooting the breeze with the A/C tech as he was closing up his truck. I paid him and took a few minutes to confirm the Air was blowing cold. About 2 PM I walked to the center of the complex to the bank of mailboxes. In my box was an Orange Slip saying that a package was undeliverable because there was nobody home to sign for it. I went back to the house and checked the tracking #. It was marked "Undeliverable" at 1:27 PM. I do not get too many packages that require a signature. Perhaps it has been 6 in the last two years. My wife is home every day. She no longer drives and I take our only car to work. I/we have signed for exactly one package. Orange slips were left in the box for the rest. |

We been home all day, like you said as well. Ends up, they thought our drive-way was too long/far off the main road. Which is nonsense!!! Its a good 1/4 mile gravel road. He even came up and said there was no reason for them not to do so. So now, we don't get those slips anymore Sometimes you just have to be a ass!!! In return, we get large packages/ and Auction catalogs crammed in the mailbox now.
