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. this snapshot taken on April 11 at 12:19am 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.
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
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
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 smh :|
