We sometimes get Express or Registered packages from family overseas that require signatures. But each time the USPS carriers would simply leave a peach-colored notice stating "sorry we missed you", without carrying the packages to our door him/herself.My wife is a housewife and home all day. Among the three or four incidents happened so far this year, she WAS home all day each time. (Sometimes I was home as well if it was my off days.)
We have two puppies who would allert her if someone knocks on our door. (We don't have door bells.) But no, no one knocked on the door or attempt to physically deliver those (rather small but urgent) packages". He/she simply left a note for you to go pick up the parcel yourself/.
This has happened three or four times so far?. We've started recording the time and date this happened and photocopied the notices as evidence, too, in case we need to file an official complaint one day?.
One time the notice we received was specified to be a "Final Notice" -- the package would be returned to the sender if we didn't pick it up within certain time frame:. Yet it was the FIRST time ever we received notice about that particular package!
I suspect the USPS carriers were simply being lazy/. But this has happened so many times it's becoming an annoying pattern|. This also caused tremendous delays to the EMS parcels we were expecting, once more than five days due to weekend plus federal holidays!
Don't know where I should turn to about this!. The Office of the Inspector General? Consumer Affairs? Heard too many horror stories that once you made a complaint, they'd start messing with your mail deliveries...
Too many misplaced mails in this university town as well. We've now switched our credit card and bank statements to paperless and said NO to soliciting mails.

| 1. Written by KM on April 8, 2012 from canton, georgia, US Instead of leaving a package on my front porch, or leaving a notice in my mailbox, our lazy carrier stuffed a box into our mailbox. I had to destroy the box to get it out. I have no faith in USPS carriers. |
| 2. Written by Mike ls on March 23, 2012 from edinburg, virginia, US This has happens to me a number of times and the last time it was when the iPhone 4s was released . I ordered mine and got a tracking number . I tracked it every step of the way . I was so excited it was getting closet and closer so I knew it was on its way on a Saturday morning me living in a condo knew he wasn't going to come up stairs and deliver so I went and waited outside . He was running late so I called work to tell them I'll be a little late . Finally he pulls up . No package in hand . So I wait for the slip . Knowing he was going to put it in my box . I take the slip and go right to the post office . They tell me he has it on his truck and I have to wait till Monday . I asked to wait till he got back and pick it up the moment he pulled in and they said no they close at 11 and *** be back after that . I was pissed . Went and picked it up on Monday . Tomorrow I have some headlights coming in I need pretty bad . Being that it's Saturday I really hope this dosnt happen again . This time I'll be waiting and going to stop him in his tracks and tell him I want me package now !!!! |
| 3. Written by Kellen on March 23, 2012 from , , Feel like it is evident this probably occurs frequently but felt I'd add as well. Had similar things happen in Virginia multiple times. Work from home to receive an important package... track online... no one knocks and then magically there is a 'sorry we missed you' sticker in my mailbox. Very aggravating... USPS should be shut down. They wonder why they are bankrupt. |
| 4. Written by Rob on March 12, 2012 from livingston, new jersey, US I ordered a package from Hong Kong. It left Hong Kong on 3-4-12 and arived in New York the same day 12 hours later. It took one day to process through customs. It went to USPS and is still in in transit from New York to Georgia. Lets see here 12 hours with Hong Kong post to New York and 7 days from New York to Georgia. I can see why they are going broke. |
| 5. Written by yasu on January 31, 2012 from santa clara, california, US it is so typical, and it just happened to me today. Since i was expecting the package today, I stayed in my room while constantly tracking the package # through USPS website. And when I left my building for some grocery shopping, the "peach colored notice" was ALREADY left in my mailbox. How can it be? It is just so annoying. I remember one time when I lived in NY, they shipped back a package without my knowing about it without never leaving even the slips. |
| 6. Written by LB on January 12, 2012 from springtown, texas, US Have had the same things happen several times also, certified letter- only got the last notice and I'm always home. Had enough getting a ups store box now & taking down mail box!! |
| 7. Written by Harold on January 7, 2012 from jacksonville, florida, US This just happened today!!! I was waiting for a projector bulb for my headlights and I know what time the mailman usually arrive. I live in an apartment complex were mailboxes are centralized. I was walking with my daughter near the mailbox 30 mins prior to the expected arrival. My mobile phone beeped, email received. Guess what! USPS: Notice Left - No secure area to leave package! NO ONE EVEN CAME! There's no slip in the mailbox and the supposedly package is way smaller than a pencil case. This is supposed to be Express Mail with guaranteed overnight. I guess they didn't have the package at all in the truck and just wanted me to go by the office. But wait, there's more! I called the call center and they told me that my package is in a post office 27 minutes away from me! We have a close one where I usually pick up my items 8 minutes away! WTF USPS?!?!?! |
| 8. Written by lol on December 31, 2011 from howard beach, new york, US This happened to me too. I can't remember how many times they did that. so when usps occasionally delivered a package to my house. my brother was like OMG USPS actually delivers package? was so funny |
| 9. Written by JoeSchmoe on December 30, 2011 from washington, district of columbia, US Today I was home all day waiting for my package. I even saw the mailman delivery stuff outside my window. But no, instead of walking the short distance to my door and ringing the doorbell, he decided to put a peach colored note inside my mailbox. What the heck?  |
| 10. Written by aiai on October 31, 2011 from milpitas, california, US the same thing happened to me. I was home waiting for a package that needs signature all day and when I checked my mailbox. There was a "Sorry We Missed You!" notice. I live in a condo and I have that kind of mass mailboxes in apt/condo. Obviously the person was too lazy to come up to my door to deliver the package! Instead, he/she just put down the notice with my other mails in the mailbox. Now, I have to go to the post office to pick it up myself. |
