USPS is the worst

[RedsFan1941]

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.

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.

Tip jar, WOW the begging is getting way out of control. Plus the USPS workers are one of the most overpaid groups there is.

Some great advise on here but the sad truth is unless someone goes out of their way to help you out you are SOL.

Charity is out of control also.

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.
