Thanks, I have an item that was supposed be delivered late May to Early June by USPS.
We had another missing item not delivered by USPS, yet was supposedly delivered by another company. The delivery company sent a photo.
Only the photo was not our porch deck, it was a neighbor’s side of a garage. The Neighbor was on vacation, so another neighbor went with me into the vacationing neighbors’ yard.
I had 3 packages there (all heavy and expensive). The neighbor with me had 4 heavy packages along with other neighbors. There were 10 other packages from other neighbors.
That neighbor took pictures of the miss delivered packages, while I got my pickup and parked it close to the undelivered packages. We loaded them into the bed of my pickup, and we hand delivered them to the correct neighbors.
Common factors: were large and very heavy packages. That neighbor contacted the delivery company, and they told him that they had pictures of the deliveries. He sent back photos of the front of the home where the packages were dumped and the stacked of packages delivered to the wrong address.
He told the company to keep that delivery person off our block.
Yes. We did that twice so far. Each day we could see what mail arrived for us. The mail was not delivered until we returned.
You see mail delivered to the address, not to a specific person.
It’s actually not a PO Box. It’s one of those multiple mailboxes on a post. The only reason I have it is they won’t deliver packages to my house unless I have a mailing address. Very silly.
We also have it for a second house. It works fine there. We only get mail there every couple of months.
Thanks for this. I’m looking into it for sure.
All mail has been sorted via optical character recognition for many years, they’re now allowing public access to the images.
Their systems are good but when you get mail with an adhesive barcode on the back, that’s a piece that couldn’t be read by OCR and had to be read by a human.
Thanks, good to know!
When your postal carrier marks your packages delivered it notifies you within minutes. I had a package disappear minutes after saying delivered. I notified the post office the next day. They ere able to get a GPS ping exactly when the carrier marked it as delivered. Turns out it was marked delivered at a neighbors house a quarter mile away.....and that is exactly where it was found.
True but I think they were being sarcastic because I have complained in the past about not receiving mail or that it was placed in the wrong box. Informed delivery tells you how many pieces of mail are coming and takes a photo of the front of the envelope which sometimes one is not provided for whatever reason.
