local USPS- I had been lulled into a sense of security. Message sent
A package was sent to me which contained two coins. One of them was
fairly pricey, but had value- real and aesthetic-over and above the purchase price. The coins were logged in at a local USPS facility on Saturday, March 28, and disappeared without a trace. Several other packages delivered into the area intended for others are missing over the same time frame. Whether this was a spike of incompetence (OR WORSE), or the beginning of an ongoing problem, is not known. Only a couple of conclusions can be drawn. Neither is complimentary to the local USPS. Be cautious! If you aren sending valuable material via Wilmington, NC 28408, you may wish to consider shipping methods which track the package every step of the way. If the package has value above some dollar limit (an eventual insurance reimbursement does not seem adequate), you may be wise to select another method of delivery. ===================== Give me one good reason why I should not post this where millions can see it! (the ONLY one that I find acceptable is the return of the merchandise by whomever "misplaced" it) |

They have postal inspectors whose job is to investigate and arrest postal thieves! Buy postal insurance for valuable packages! It's cheap! Use registered mail for valuable packages! Yes you should post this where millions can see it! --Dave |

local USPS- I had been lulled into a sense of security. Message
I won an auction on eBay in March 2008. Seller sent it with tracking.
When I didn't receive it after a couple weeks, I contacted them and they told me that the tracking showed an attempted delivery at 10:30am. My mail NEVER shows up before 1pm. I contacted local USPS, and they too showed the same information. Long story short (too late already), it FINALLY showed up 14 months later. As it was only a $40 purchase, I never pursued any compensation. I never even left feedback for the seller. I did however contact the seller to let them know that it did arrive. This unfortunately is NOT an uncommon occurance. |

I sent a nasty-gram to USPS- no where near as nasty as I felt- without details (what details are needed? my pkg got here; it's vanished) A customer service person got back to me (a person, not a 'bot), asking for detail. I attached some files, but basically said I wanted no reply except to say: we found your package, or we know who "misplaced" it, and it's being handled. |

Coins have not shown up in local coin shops, or in pawn shops accepting coins- I guess that's a good sign. Dropped off a note for the head USPS honcho- I need a formal response he has someone EVEN LOOKED AROUND?? It's a no-brainer: either the coins are still here, or someone ripped me off. Either way- you have some looking and explaining to do !!! |
