Yep, just happened to me too and I’m sick about it. Shipped smallish box by priority mail to my daughter. She never received it. It contained handmade, embroidered, baby items I made personalized with the baby’s name. I am currently in the claim process. Makes me sick to think that some postal worker stole my items. Hope they know a little baby named Annabelle!! Or – hope they DON:T know a baby named Annabelle. Then what will they do with my items. Trash them? Sickening!!

What can you do about important business papers that must be delivered by a specific date? Insurance is no good since they have no monetary value and if tracking doesn’t show it ever delivered, post office just says, “Oh well, it left here.” This happened to an automobile title and a reply to chancery court. Fortunately the court issue was close enough I could hand deliver a copy but if had been far away…..what could I have done? Fed X next time.

I know this thread is old, but what happened to Gordon just happened to me. I bought some artificial flowers from China through E-Bay, they made it all the way to my local post office, the tracking says delivered, but it was not delivered HERE. Seriously? It made it all the way from China only to have the substitute postal carrier deliver it to the wrong address. I know that if I file a claim on E-Bay, it will affect the seller, and I will not do that. They did their job. The item says “delivered.” I am not going to penalize them because the post office can’t read. It was a low-priced item, but I am still out of the money with nothing to show for it. NOT happy.

I buy products on Ebay, and twice in the last two months I failed to receive several items, even though the Postal Service tracking system listed them as having been “delivered”. (Apparently, this is not an uncommon practice, as my local letter carrier quietly informed me.) In the earlier case, the item(s) were found languishing on the delivery truck and I eventually received them. In the current case, the items are probably also on the truck, but still have not been delivered, despite my informing the local post office supervisor of the situation. These experience have caused me to join the chorus of the others who strongly caution against sending anything of value through the United States Postal Service.

I ordered an item from Japan, and it mysteriously disappeared at the central post office.

I suspect that some postal worker saw that it was from Japan, believed it to be valuable, and stole it. This item is fairly obscure, so if it gets sold on Craigslist or eBay, I will know.

Scumbag USPS.

We need to boycott the USPS and only use them for envelope packages, which consumers don't have to pay for. Maybe if we start hitting their pockets then they will carry themselves like a reputable company.

I HATE the USPS! You are basically paying for package roulette. smh. My fiance placed my artwork and specific document in the mail for delivery from St Louis to New York City which never got to me. Upon speaking to various people over the phone, they came to the same conclusion that i got when i realized the mail had not reached me; the freakin mail hadnt been delivered. (really??) they told me to fill out a claim online (which was just a dismissive way to get me off the phone). In short, i lost my life work and the art program for middle school aged kids was never created. Thank you USPS.

I am dealing with the same game now. This gives the post office the right to have no responsibilty to protect your package.

Ordered an item on eBay via USPS, never arrived at my PO BOX. Then I ordered another one from a seller within the state, lost again! The criminal shall be punished. Next time I'm going to camp at my PO BOX with a camera when the package arrives.
