WWYD if the PO lost 28 packages you mailed

[deadballfreaK]

Last week I bought my wife two breeding canaries as a gift. They were shipped USPS "Overnight Express". Only cost me $40 shipping + $10 packaging. A total trip of about 500-550 miles. Birds shipped on Weds. Got em Saturday. 63 hours. Fortunately the birds were alive, but c'mon. 8 miles an hour is EXPRESS? I had made arrangements to pick up at the post office. Had I waited for normal rural delivery it would have been 7 more hours.

Yep and another 2" of snow this morning to wake up too.

Yes all the packages have been located and should be populating tracking info now. I just can figure out why they blocked off the out of town box in the first place. So there is an in-town drop slot inside and the rest goes outside in the big blue box or all of it if your to lazy to separate Just a mess and frustrating

I sent a certified mail letter with some original documents from boston to beverly hills on march 26. It gets to the la sort facility on march 29 so far so good. It then takes until april 12 to get to the main beverly hills facility. On april 17 it then, according to the post office internal tracking, gets misdelivered to a business around the corner from where it was supposed to go. I call that business and naturally they dont have it and their mailroom guy has no recollection of it.

I print my own postage for Ebay and Sportlots sales. I always have the post office worker scan in each package while I am there with an "acceptance scan" and when all the packages have been scanned she prints a summary of all the items that has all the delivery confirmations and times received on them. I am in there 2 or 3 times a week and for 10 or so packages this takes about 2 or 3 minutes. Not a lot of time to wait for piece of mind. I am generally weary about putting them in the slot so I do not.

i had the PO lose a submission i sent out to Beckett over a few years ago.
It tracked it to Atlanta facility, and never made it to Texas.
Later, i filed my claim..and received my check.
Back then..it had both variations (topps & OPC) of the Ozzie Smith RC
and some 86-7 fleer basketball card RCs and some pre-college Tebows.

You paid 60 some bucks to ship a live animal. Sometimes I can't get a card for under 12 bucks. It can take 8 miles an hour.
