USPS question

warrior4e · Oct 20, 2009

A friend of mine got a DC# saying his pack was delivered on Monday by USPS. It was not there or ever delivered. What do you guys think? Any advice for my friend as to what might have happened or what to do. It was supposed to be domestic. Thanks guys

Might be that it was delivered to a different address, The wrong address. Postal workers do that every now & again. You know, accidentaly put it in the neighbors mail box.

I know what happend

The Muscle Bound mail man took it, do not confront him he could go crazy on you. Just Kidding but you can't really Post like that without people giving you a little crap. I'm just the First one.

No really just call USPS with the DC# and they will investigate it.

contact the sponsor asap..
also call the post office and ask if there is a pack waiting to be picked up. Same thing has happened to a buddy of mine. A-holes didnt leave a note at the house but said they did. The pack sat at the p-office for 3 days before he realized it was there

Yes, I have had a package incorrectly delivered to me before; it was actually for the same house number but one street over. It was Priority Mail.

I had a pakcage of gear stolen years ago off my doorstep left by UPS . It was more than likely the little shit kids in my neighborhood that had no idea the just stole 2k worth of stuff. They probably threw it away.

Maybe he was sent the wrong DC#

Lol...same here. Good thing those people were honest and put it back in the mailbox for re-delivery where I could retrieve it.

The DC was the correct town and he also checked with the next door neighbor and still nothing. Could it be LE? You guys think he should call the post office?

I've had some businesses send me tracking numbers for the USPS where when checked on the link showed "delivered" when in fact it still had 3 days to get to me and had only left the post office where they sent from. Never had this issue with UPS or FedEx, only USPS FWIW.

OK... my friend felt better to hear this bro. How many times has this happened? 2 times? more? please fill me in so my friend can sleep even better.

With one company I shop with every few months it is every time. I know they are g2g and don't pay attention to the tracking now. The first time with them I sent them an email when the item said delivered, but once I got the response it had been. The USPS tracking is not as slick as say Fed ex where you get up to the minute details of each spot your box gets scanned.

If I lived in Cali and ordered a bottle of endorush from a place out of Virginia, and they sent USPS, I know I am looking at about a week from the shipping day. That same bottle of endorush would take maybe 3 days out of Texas. Figure like that for your buddy and I bet your time frame with the tracking doesn't match up right now.
