Post office rant.

[Shifty_85]

So I just moved to Vevay IN and didn't have my birth certificate. My mom in MI mailed it USPS and certified letter needing a signature. She tells me it should be here Tuesday.

Tuesday comes and goes nothing she sends me the tracking number it was signed for and delivered on Saturday at 3:50PM.

No one here signed for it go in the next day ask them what happened she said it was signed for on the street but not the right address takes my name and number says they'll call later.

No call the rest of yesterday still nothing this morning. So I called them and they had a different carrier deliver that day and she is out right now but will be in today sometime.

I look and it's going to cost me 56.70 to have a new one printed in MI and mailed down here

Why would someone sign for a letter that doesn't have there name or address on it ‍

The carrier threw a bunch of mail away and didn't work. Shen then faked the documentation to show she did do her job. I have had similar happen before-they eventually fire the person, but you don't get any resolve.

My trust in humanity just fell a few more notches. That sucks man. Hopefully it magically appears. Have you gone door to door yet?

Not yet the houses are pretty spread out on this road and the road is 2.5 miles long.

I know I'd just put it back in the mailbox saying wrong address or something.

Bought an upper off Gunbroker, seller only took USPS money orders. Bought the money order and paid for delivery confirmation. The letter never arrived to the seller. The Dallas Post Office comes right out and admits they have zero idea were it went, they lost it.

I had to pay another $25.00 to get a refund from the USPS for their own money order which they lost. What a great policy.

That's ridiculous!! I'm looking to see if I can make them pay for a new one but most of the USPS policy's say they aren't responsible and won't pay!

It's on Ebay.

Because they think it might contain something valuable that they can steal?

You will be damn lucky if you can even get the postage fee back.

had a lady recently that tried to claim the extra insurance she paid for when she shipped a diamond ring. They refused to pay until one of the investigative reporters got involved and gave them lots of bad press.

I'm still waiting for the Father's day card my daughter mailed to me over a week ago.
It contained a gift card. Go figure.

Just hope the same folks arent delivering yours that delivered my packages. The USPS waited almost THREE WHOLE WEEKS to go pick up the box from fedex that they were supposed to deliver the last mile. Just short of 4 weeks to get a package from Chicago.

Someone now has a birth certificate to use for a new identity…

Since the OP just moved here, if I had his birth certificate I could fake a few other items and get his driver's license before him!!! Kind of like a shill account, only use it when I feel the need to do something stupid and might get in trouble.

I would hope no one here would do that. Vevay is a pretty rural small city and everyone here seems generally nice and kind.

That's true about small town areas.

The problem is you have out of town people driving around snatching packages off porches, grabbing items out of unlocked cars, and generally doing anything criminal that is quick and advantageous. That'd include signing for or getting the mail from a corrupt postal worker that didn't deliver it.

After 58 years on this globe, the people you “think” are ok are the ones that get you.

Called again this morning they said the carrier broke down before they could get to my road yesterday. They said the scanner Geo tracking isn't 100% Accurate about where it was signed but the carrier will definitely stop at the 2 most likely houses it could have been.

Because they could not get their phone out of their face long enough to actually read it.

Your tax dollar at work.
