USPS issues?

On at least 4 occasions I have not received something sent by USPS. Has anyone else had trouble with them? I hollered at the guy behind the counter, but that didn't get me anywhere. I want my stuff!

Re: USPS issues?

  • Yes, I have had a couple of product orders lost that were mailed in town to a PO Box plus some of our consignors checks never showed up. Frustrating. I called to complain and the lady just apologized and said nothing they could do about it.
  • We've had a ton of issues with them. Gifts and checks I've sent have not been delivered. I've started paying the extra money to have it signed for cuz it has gotten out of hand.

  • Us too.  We've lost books, dvd's and movie posters (one worth $$$) that e-bay sellers have sent through USPS and we never recieve.  We thought it was a fluke at first, but after that 3rd or 4th package missing we suspect it's our mail carrier or post office.  There's nothing we can do about it, we tried. 

  • I'm not sure if I should be relieved that its not just us or appalled that its happening so frequently. What BS, no wonder they are billions in the red?!

  • yep. Most recently I had someone drop off 5 pieces of mail to my house that had been delivered to their place (12 blocks away) on different days, no name or street relation to me. They had sent them back, but usps just delivered them a 2nd time.

    back in VT they refused to deliver my SIL's mail after she bought our house (we had moved a full year before) because she had the same last name as was on our fwd order. It took 2 months of yelling at them to get it taken care of. Total BS.

  • YES!!

    Out of 8 things I shipped once, 3 never made it to final destination, 3 packages!! So, I reshipped one of them again - guess what, I insured it this time, and surprise - it didnt make it either!

    So, from now on, I ship with confirmation, and insurance. Its pretty redic.

  • yes - I love it when I pay for delivery confirmation and then there is no scan at the end.  

    The problems have gotten worse over the least 3-4 years imo

  • I've had more packages not make it, than actually make it. The only client packages that ship through the USPS are the ones that drop ship from my lab, because I know they'll reprint if it doesn't make it.

    In my experience, signature confirmation and insurance are kind of pointless through them as well. It's nearly impossible to collect or argue it not making it still.

    Luckily, I haven't had any trouble when mailing packages [yet]. 

    A few months ago, though, a customer said she was going to mail me a check for a deposit and because I've worked with her many times, knew she was very reliable and timely with payments, so when I didn't receive it after a week or two, I made sure she still wanted to do the session, etc.  She did, and said she had mailed the check when she said she was going to - from the post office that is, no lie, 6 blocks from my house.  Ha!
