I Think USPS Stole My Package

So I bought my mom a laptop, and had to install stuff on it for her. I live in Atlanta and she in New Jersey.
I shipped the package via the post office on March 29 with an expected delivery date of April 5.

And you know what? No package...and tomorrow will be day 13 since the drop off date.
I find it ****in nice and convenient how the package which just so happens to be a laptop is the one that disappears out of the 4-5 other items I have shipped over the last 3 weeks.
My mom called them on Monday asking about it and they told her to give it until tomorrow (Thursday) before calling back. I have to wait 21 days from the ship date to file a claim and I'm glad I got the $600 worth of insurance I did. Anyone now how the USPS claims process is for their own ****-up?

 

Knowing USPS, it will be hell. FedEx was difficult enough, I can't imagine what miracles bureaucracy will work for you.

Good Luck!

 

If it does show up, make sure she opens the package and tests it before signing acceptance. It's been lost too long to just accept, and once she does no more insurance. If the delivery person doesn't like that schedule with him/ her for pick-up at the post office and make them take it with them.
Oh... and they gotta make up their budget somehow.

 

This is one of the reasons I try to never, ever ship via USPS.

 

And they wonder why they're going broke

 

Too big to fail. Advancements in technology be damned.

 

Good luck getting any money from them. I've been waiting for my 275 for years.

 

bloated, mismanaged, hamstrung by congress and union negotiated benefits package? sounds like GM

 

because congress screws them over.

 

^^^ not just them...

 

i've had 3 birthday cards with $$ and gift cards go missing since i've been out here....

 

only, there's no non-complete law protecting GM from Ford, or something

 

well my mom called again yesterday asking about it and they gave her the run around...transferred her to random extensions, were rude, non-helpful etc. she was piiiiissed. she let me know how she felt about the post office via email that day...pretty graphic...geez mom

 

That is why you never send cash in the mail. Fail on whoever sent that to you.

 

well considering its a federal crime to open someone's else's mail, i guess some people would think it'd be a safe thing to do *shrug

 

Those same people think a sign that says "GUN FREE ZONE" will keep guns out of that area.

 

when i said $$ i meant a check...yeah no one i know is dumb enough to send cash. but i think the gift cards are probably the biggest giveaway, you can feel those through the envelope and they are anonymous, so easy to steal

 

I just read online that here in Atlanta, the USPS auctions off "lost" or otherwise undeliverable mail
