    Default The *&%$@# USPS fails again.

    I won a W&B 8/8 last week and on monday of this week it was scheduled to be delivered along with another package containing 6.8 oz Guerlain Vetiver EDT. Tracking shows that both packages were delivered,but all I had in my mailbox was the infamous "Sorry we missed you" card. I contacted the local USPS supervisor, who informed me that the driver on that day was a substitute and could not find my address and mis-scanned the items as "delivered". They have no idea where the items are now. I contacted the sellers and poured myself three fingers of scotch. Things are much better now !

    I have had them deliver an empty envelope. When I went to the post office was told they found it but threw it in the garbage. When I told them they then owed me for the razor and postage they suddenly found the razor. So nothing they do surprises me!

    Are they trying your patience ? I watch packages take detours to other cities once in awhile. They make it here, just takes a couple more days. I had 1 missing for 3 weeks once. When it came the postman knocked on the door and I had to sign something. Was a damage report. The package looked like somebody spilled punch on it and then stepped on it. Apparently it was at the postmaster's office where he looked at it for a week or 2, composed a serious sorry letter, put it in a plastic bag, then had it delivered to me. Nothing was wrong with it and they treated it like it was priceless. No harm , no foul. It's just time. Hope you get yours soon :<0)

    USPS do's a pretty good Job IMO, the last sub driver that marked a package as deliverd,I called the postmaster and got his AZZ fired,he left no notice.
    My package was deliverd 1 hr later with apologys by a supervisor. Great service.

    All packages are xrayed now, so it surprises me we don't have more show up missing. I always insure any more, not worth it not to.

    I suppose it depends on where you live. My mail box is about a quarter of a mile from my home and often they are too lazy to find my house and instead of delivering the package they leave the "sorry we missed you message" and leave it to me to either retrieve the package from the post office or request another delivery.I have nothing good to say about them. Ups or Fedex are much more professional IMHO.

    Several times I have been outside and seen postal workers walk up to my door, slap a "sorry we missed you sticker, and turn around and leave. When I have confronted them, they'd sometimes retrieved the package but other times confessed they did not even have it. I've had to drive to the post office way too many times because of that.

    As a seller, I had one go into a weird limbo in S.F., several calls to the P.O. where it was looping, it finally got to it's destination. It was somehow stuck on the conveyer belt.
