I would like to see the actual signiature as I know it isn't mine. It pretty well boils down to the postal carrier not doing her job and if there is a signiature, then someboody forged it which is illegal.

The proof of delivery should show the actual signature.

I highly doubt your carrier forged a signature. Chances are she just marked it as delivered and checked a box somewhere that says signed for. Did they leave a notice? I have seen this happen and usually just go pick it up at the post office myself.

Went to proof of delivery and signiature looks like mine but I was at work at the time recorded and at work all day. I do recall a comversation a while back where she said we could go to the post office and fill out a form saying signiature on file so she could deliver parcels requiring a signiature so we wouldn't have to make an extra trip to the post office. The issue here is we never got around to going to the post office to fill out the form so using a "signiature on file" doesn't fly. I agree that she didn't forge my name after seeing the proof of delivery form but the rules definitely were not followed. Hopefully the package will show up tomorrow.

Default Signature

I have worked for the Postal Service since 1981 and I have never heard of a form that can be filled out so your actual signature is not required. The mailer paid extra so you would have to sign for the item. The carriers signature is not acceptable.

So, the question is - where is the package? Most Post Offices now have Geo-tracking and we can map where the package was actually delivered.

The carrier should be disciplined. Unfortunately, because of the union contracts, the first step before actual discipline is issued is an "official job discussion". The unions position is that the carrier probably delivered about 80 packages and 2500 pieces of mail and delivered to 600 locations on that particular day, so 1 misdelivery isn't cause for discipline. BUT, in my opinion, an insured package that requires a signature should get special attention from the carrier and the carrier is never allowed to sign for the package.

Good luck. I hope your package is found.

Rick

Rick,

I always appreciate your insight into the inner sanctum of the USPS.

Thank you for your insight. This particular carrier has been busted before as it is a community mail center with 1200 boxes. What she apparently does is pulls up with the mail and in bulk marks mail as delivered whether it is or not. She apparently clicks a box for all packages as delivered and puts the mail in the boxes as she is filling them. Probably does not even cross reference whether the package is in her mail for the day. Hopefully it will be there today but clearly she is not doing her job correctly.

Exactly...so if the signature really looks like yours, then the real question is who forged your name? Weird. I fear someone has deliberately stolen this package. Best of luck!
