I want to start by saying that my father worked for the USPS for 30 years and I'm usually a big supporter if their's. I know their work is hard, I know the mail never stops, etc., etc.
In all my years I have never really had any problems. Until today:
I had a reasonably expensive item being shipped to me and it was scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, March 31st. On Tuesday, I made sure I was home but no package came. Of course, the delivery confirmation said it had been delivered at 2:22pm. I waited. On Wednesday, again no package. So I contacted the main USPS delivery number last night. They asked for a bunch of information(which I gave them) and said they'd contact my local post office and have them get in touch with me.
Well, they just did. I essentially got 5 minutes of, *yeah, it was delivered.* I realize that the computer says it was delivered on March 31 at 2:22pm but um, yeah, don't you think I'd know if it had really been delivered to me!!?
Obviously, my carrier delivered this someone other than me. I just can't get over the fact that my local postmaster actually called and tried to tell me that it was delivered. As if, 1. I wouldn't know if it had really been delivered to me and 2. doesn't the fact that I called and said I hadn't received it sort of negate her calling me and telling me it was delivered? If I don't have it, then telling me it was delivered makes no sense!!!
Now, she's going to ask the carrier and, of course, he's going to say he delivered it. And, then I'm going to get a call where she says, *yeah, he said he delivered it.* And then what? Am I supposed to just be out the money on this because no matter how many times she tells me he delivered it, it still doesn't change the fact that IT'S NOT HERE!
Thanks for letting me vent!
