I order things online all of the time. Due to my disability I am at home and now with Maki I really am home bound. For some reason I am losing about 1/4 of all my packages and stuff. The post office marks them delivered but they never are on my porch. No one has anything to say about it. They can't tell me where they left it. Sometimes I get lucky and a neighbor will bring my box to me. Its the same lady over and over that keeps getting my boxes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I have tried filing complaints, I have tried talking to the post office and management. No one has anything to say to me. They are rude and full of "I don't knows."
I have lost a lot of things because of this. I wonder how much of my mail actually never gets to me. I even sent a complaint to the post master general about the po box we had because the same thing was happening there. The only answer I got from them was that someone is marking my items as delivered when they are not in that process. But wait, how can that be. First they mark it as out for delivery and several hours later delivered. How can that be a mistake? The truth was stuff was just sitting in the post office for months because someone isn't doing their job.
Then, recently I received an empty box that my item was literally taken out of by someone in the postal system. The seller had to give me a refund and they filed a claim and got paid last week. We have decided the reason that item was taken was it was shipped in a liquor box which is against USPS rules.

What usually helps is when people send things I have to sign for. I always get those. If its first class mail its 50/50 I will get it. I am so frustrated and upset about this. I just don't know what to do. Its not an address problem. This is a postal process problem. I have decided to just quit buying things for a while until I can figure out what to do. My mother is having the same problem. She isn't getting her mail either and she is in a whole other city.

Does anyone have any ideas I have not thought of? I am so frustrated and upset. I was waiting for one last thing and yes yet again. Delivered...I don't have it. Where it is ...is anyone's guess. The incompetence is huge. This is not pony mail...this is everything I order from my medications to stuff we need each month.
 
Are you using a local branch? If so I would put in a complaint with the Postmaster General. I had similar problems when the last post lady was at our tiny little office. Half the packages I sent never got to their destinations and I received only a third of what I had mailed to me. Funny enough, lots of people complained (all four of us and a cow) and we got a new mail guy. Now all our mail comes and goes without a hitch. Funny how that works when you eliminate the thief!
 
a remote shock collar on the postmen-I mean go in there and tell them what for
 
I cant say if it was the weekend guy or the weekday guy or the sub they had but after the post lady got a new route my mail was not showing up. OH! I got the paper mail bills, junk, and the like. But I had boxes and thing now show up or stolen they would be mark shipped and delivered. No paper in the box and nothing at the post office. Never did find out who it was but one of these guys was apparently coming on my porch and beating on my door to get my dog to jump up and bark at him and just egg him on. I found this out only because I was sick and at home from work and my truck was in the shop that day.

Needless to say I called and reported him as I know he had done it before and I never saw him again and guess what I started getting packages again. So just a guess as who might have got them.

But I agree with foofoo write a letter to the post master if that don't work go to the media our media does these neighbor story thing where if someone has issue with thing like post office business etc they help them get answers iono if you have that there. It will at least get there attention.

Hey the cow always counts

*moos sternly at fail mail*
 
My boyfriend did not get a package. We went in and talked to the people and they showed us that the package had come as well as the day it was delivered. Turns out someone had stolen his package outta the box.

Go down there when you've got free time and make them show you on their computer system.
 
Yea I have had stuff stolen out of my box and the box resealed. It is just amazing to me how someone can live with themselves when they just out right steal like that. So, I have done all the things mentioned here except the shock collar ROFLOL. Nothing much has worked as of yet. I live in a huge city and the offices just don't care about complaints. I think the whole operation is manned by doppelgangers.
