A clerk in the depoe bay post office, oregon, admittedly returned my 1099 because it had only my street address and not my po box #. Even though I worked in said post office for the past 10 years. When the 1099 was put back in the mail system with my post office box #, the same clerk withheld and did not deliver the correctly addressed mail piece, but...

United States Postal Service [USPS] USPS Union, NJ - Missing Package & Postman

I have lived in Union, NJ for the past 18 years and have not had any problems until this past year. I live in a condo community and there are multiboxes. If there is a package that is delivered to my unit, it always left on the ground level. The postman does not even try. I have seen him leave packages wherever he wants to, for not only me but my neighbors. Due to CV-19, if we don't leave our homes, God knows how long the package is out there in public site instead of at our doors.

We DO have larger package boxes that are locked near our mailboxes. Keys are left in our mailbox if we have a package. I'd much rather prefer that if the postman is too lazy to walk up the stairs and leave it at my door like AMAZON does.

Today is the day t hat I don't see any trace of my package and it was allegedly delivered at 2:31 today - January 29th. I go to check around 5pm after work and it was not at my door, on the steps, on the ground level or in my mailbox. This time it was a fairly expensive item that was a gift that I purchased! Now what do I do? I need my package and I need the USPS in Union, NJ to do a way better job delivering packages.

Desired outcome: I need my package and I need the USPS in Union, NJ to do a way better job delivering packages. If I don't get my package, I want my money back.

I have order stuff off walmart and have the delivered to my street address but got redirected because my PO Box was not on the address. I never have a problem with other packages coming to my house only when I use USPS. I understand I have a PO Box but some items I need delivered to my house.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Rural mail delivery

About 2-3 times a month we get some of our neighbors mail in our mailbox or they will get ours in their mailbox. This has been going on for about a year now. Is there any way to improve the mail deliver service in out small town? All mail boxes are clearly marked with the address number either on the side of the box, on the post or on the door, and some are even marked again on the inside of the door to the box. I have taken neighbors mail back to the local post office and let them know it is not mine but was in my box, I've walked some to their door and hand delivered it, I've left it in the box and put the flag up and I've went as far as 3 houses away to pick up my mail after a neighbor called and let me know my mail was in his box. Me letting the local office know about the issues doesn't seem to help but maybe if someone from higher up could investigate the issue it could get fixed. Thank you for your time.

Desired outcome: Investigate the problem and resolve the issue

United States Postal Service [USPS] Click-n-ship

The Click-N-Ship site is virtually useless. I filled-out ALL required fields and still get "Please select a contents type." There are SO many voice commands I must go through for technical support it's an enormous time suck. Thirty to 50-minute wait times. No dedicated Click-N-Ship number. How is the USPS supposed to compete with UPS other than on price. As a business-owner I'm SO frustrated!

United States Postal Service [USPS] Refusal of package delivery

After years of residing at the same address with no issues, the USPS has suddenly refused to deliver a package. I filled out the peach slip indicating redelivery date and location options only to have a clerk from the local post office branch tell me I needed to come pick up the package. I informed her that I worked/had appointments during those hours, and she stated she "didn't know what to tell" me. She then told me she will see me when I picked up the package and hung up. I have not been able to reach anyone at the number I was called from.

Desired outcome: Deliver package! to 1216 Specks Run Road Bunker Hill WV 25413

I got an email message that said my box was full and you could not deliver. Well the mail box and our special package box are both empty and no one could have attempted at 1020 am. I went out to boxes at 1030 and no delivery - not even regular mail. Not sure why the driver could not deliver - I know it is against regulations to come into our driveway as the...

United States Postal Service [USPS] Priority Mail

One week ago I mailed a letter at the Post Office in Newport RI to go to my granddaughter in Brookline MA, distance of approximately 90 miles. As it contained a birthday present, I wanted her to get it promptly so I sent it by Priority Mail. The Tracking Number is [protected] 74. As of today, seven days later, she hasn't received the letter. Your Tracking System states that it is IN TRANSIT! WHERE IS IT? WHEN WILL IT BE DELIVERED? WHY DID I PAY 14 TIMES THE STANDARD MAILING CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE?

Desired outcome: Deliver the letter!

United States Postal Service [USPS] Sending and receiving packages

Currently, nine (9) packages are unaccounted for in the USPS system. I can live with packages for me that may someday show up. What I cannot accept is the three (3) priority mail packages that I mailed early that just disappeared in the USPS black hole. These are all packages for loved ones that are always with us for Christmas but cannot be with us this year because of government dictates.

Tracking just says "in transit to the next facility, " a position that never seems to change.

I would like to think this is an isolated year for the USPS, but, based on past experiences, it is not. It is just more extreme this year. I know that I will not rely on priority mail again. I'll pay extra for FEDEX or UPS.

I completely relate, the same thing has happened to me several times. I was told by the post office supervisor that the package was scanned into their facility but not sure what happened to the packages. I filed a complaint with each and nothing was done about it. I have also mailed a birthday card with a gift card enclosed, the card arrived opened with no gift card. USPS needs a complete overhaul with honest employees. I was under the impression that mail theft is a federal crime. Please consider mailing packages with another delivery service.

I mailed a package by priority mail, 2-day delivery, on Dec. 14, 2020. Yet the receipt stated delivery by Dec. 17, 2020 (3 days) But the package was not delivered until Dec. 20, 2020 (6 days). Why charge for 2-day delivery when you know you can't hold that promise? For Service that I paid dearly for, not to mention that your rates are outrageous to begin...

United States Postal Service [USPS] Delivery/Packages

I paid the overly high rates for shipping from the post office and am not getting my $15.00 worth of shipping. Here it is 12/17/2020 at 5:44pm est and my package still hasn't arrived...worse it sat in the hub in California for almost 2 days! You can't blame everything on the pandemic as this has happened before the pandemic...plus I am familiar with the automation and how it works as my father was a postal worker for 35+years.

Payment for services not rendered is fraud. This is fraud by a government agency and is unacceptable! Hell my mail person hasn't been by in couple of days which resulted in me getting served court paperwork for something that had not arrived in the mail yet! I am fed up and wonder why I pay so much for lack luster performance. If I did half of the [censored] the USPS did at my job I'd be fired...so maybe the high ups of the USPS should be fired!

United States Postal Service [USPS] Waverly hall post office 31831

We haven't been getting our mail, it's been three or four days now. We get automatic answering systems. Those are helpful but we aren't getting our mail! I have been watching the news for delays or any reason since the pandemic. I get policy information on the web, no real solutions for the missing items or mail not getting picked up in my area. My flat has been up for days.
