Tom...the PO is still looking for a package I mailed to California in the beginning of Dec 2018...It was delivered the end of Jan 2019...but they insist they are still looking for it....it seems you can't call off a search........joe
Joe/Neighbor,
I had the same thing happen earlier this year.
I always felt the USPS tracking was better than everyone else's lately, but then I had the issues like you. I actually had 2 similar ones. My problem started when the delivery person scanned the items in each case as "delivered," when they weren't! One was actually delivered 2 hours later and the other one arrived 2 days later. once it is scanned as "delivered" you no longer get any updates, so you are then at the mercy of whichever USPS worker has access to your package(s). Apparently, when there was bad weather for those two deliveries, it was easier to mark it delivered, throw it back in the truck and deliver it when things got better.
Speaking of USPS searches, I actually got an email from the USPS saying my search had expired earlier this week...here were the helpful tips that were meant to make me feel better, that you can look forward to, when your search ends:
- Put a return address on the outside of all mailpieces
- Include a label with your name and complete address on the inside of packages
