I bet it did. :dubious:
Huh, do trucks regularly get stuck there? Because if so, that’s… funny? Maybe not funny, but it’s something.
Not far, but the whole point of having a mailbox is so I don’t have to go anywhere to get my mail.
Idiot mailman gave me more of other people’s stuff yesterday. Why haven’t I put that note in my mailbox yet? I’m going to go do that right now. We’ll see if this works.
[Found this on a Google search…]
Despite the presence of a yellow “Please deliver” slip at the back of my box with my last name on it, my mailperson has decided to reject, all on his own authority, every non-junk mail missive addressed to me over the past few weeks. I only found this out today, when the sender of a small package I’ve been waiting for told me that it got returned to him, despite the address being perfect in the email he sent me. Meanwhile I keep getting letters from people who don’t live here (apartment), including today. Now, maybe I made a mistake by just leaving them all in the back of the box, assuming he would eventually get the hint, but I guess it is up to ME to write “return to sender” on every single one of the damned things. I’m not sure why they get special treatment despite not living here, while I get nothing.
Fortunately, most of my important mail goes to another location, but still…
I think you’re a little west of me, but it’s possible we share the same post office. If so…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good fucking luck, sister.
We attempted to file a complaint last time we were in the post office. Note I say, “attempted”. We were directed to stand by the wall, where no one came. At the same visit, I filled out and submitted a Hold Mail form for while we were on vacation. Eventually we got tired of waiting for someone to come listen to us bitch, and we left.
We got home from vacation to find that our City Parking Stickers had been sent back to the city instead of being held because…no fucking idea why. The mail carrier thought “hold the mail” meant, “hold all this junk mail and shit they don’t want and send the only two important envelopes back to the sender?” So we had to go across town and wait 45 minutes in line to fill out an affidavit stating that they hadn’t been received and get new ones.
I’ve got a water bill, a bank statement and what appears to be an attempt at collections that belongs to the guy three blocks over, though. It’s postmarked July 3 - we weren’t home to collect our (and his) mail until August 5th. Sucks to be him.
They are *really *horrible. And the only excuse we get out of them (husband went and actually did talk to a supervisor this time) is, “There’s a new carrier on the route. I’ll talk to them.” We’ve heard this at least 5 times in the three years we’ve lived here. Funny, 'cause all of these different mail carriers look exactly alike. I had no idea the Post Office was so flush with quintuplet employees.
I use online, FedEd and UPS whenever I can. Once in a while though I can’t avoid them, and it’s almost always because people sending things to me (like City Parking Stickers) still insist on using USPS. Considering that I probably actually need the mail for 6-10 items a year, it’s staggering the percentage that never arrives or is misdirected. I can’t imagine how much stuff I don’t care about, and therefore don’t notice when it’s missing, has been fucked up in total.
When I lived in Uptown, the local Post Office was terrible. The mail in my building would regularly get left in muddy piles on the floor in the vestibule instead of in mailboxes. After enough angry people complained to the alderman, the problems stopped.
I just now had a strange problem with USPS and I don’t usually have any. I ordered an item from China which takes long enough to deliver anyway and have been tracking the package. When it finally arrived in the United States, it came in in New Jersey. From there it was forwarded to Denver, where I live, and I was excited because I knew it would be delivered soon. It never came. I checked the tracking again and my package is now in Somerville MA. I wait a couple of days and then call PO customer service. The lady looks at the tracking history and is as surprised as I am so she opens a case for it.
That was a couple of days ago and I just checked and find that the package is now in Boston ‘in transit to it’s destination’. I haven’t a clue what that destination is, though. Hopefully here.
Interestingly, I live on S. Oneida St and there is also a S. Oneida St in Somerville MA. and my Zip Code is 80224 and Somerville is 02144.
I am happy that it is nothing important; just some joke underwear.

Joke underwear is important.
