man don't get me started! over a month ago i lucked out and sniped a rp sun grown ceramic ash tray on ebay for 14 shipped. After waiting in excitement I notice the tracking says refused. I called my p o they said it was refused and it was sent back to ga from Missouri. I never refused it. The misses was home all day. My neighbors walk packages over if they got to wrong house. They never came and never left a we missed you note are anything! So package takes an extra trip back to Georgia then back to stl. I get home all excited pick the box up on my porch and i heard the rattle. I knew before opening it was busted up. I opened it up and it was in a gazillion pieces. I had to ship back then over a month after it all started I had my 14$ refund. I called they said they had a sub on the route that day and no idea what happened. They were going to check with the sub and call me back but never did. I had two packages coming today... less than a month since the last issue. Out for delievery on tracking ...then get home nothing. Again the misses was home all day. I even shoveled the drive way and porch. Also tossed out ice melt so it was clear as can be today. When I got home my porch was empty. Neither of my packages came. And yet again no we missed you card. Im going to post office in morning. Maybe ill get an app why im there. I could do way better than this. I think there just playing catch up and to damn lazy to get out of the mail truck. I get it there busy but if there too busy to leave a we missed you card like they used to do its inexcusable. There is no reason for packages going all the way back to be reshipped.

If your package is marked as delivered, and you or none of your neighbors has it, call the postmaster immediately. Write down their name, the time and date you called, and what they told you. Documentation is everything. If you don't document it, it didn't happen.

Has anyone else had this happen and gotten the "Delivery status not updated", as referenced earlier in this post?

The NC PIF sent to me was due to land last monday, and never arrived at my office.
https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9114999944313079873183

After a few days (Thursday) I called, spoke to the post office manager and another staff member, they were unable to locate the box, were able to confirm it did arrive at their post office, it was out for delivery, knew which post office employee had the package in the truck... and beyond that, it's gone. They physically checked the truck on Thursday, no sight of it falling behind "ergonomic shelving". Has anyone else gone through a similar experience with the USPS actually losing a package at this stage and/or the display of this error?

This package has been sitting for a month. Nobody knows where it is.

I have another that's been sitting in LA, listing as "processed through sort facility" since March 1. No further updates.

The other day USPS literally dropped off a package to the wrong local facility after it left main hub in Kc for sorting. Never seen that happen before ever! Crazy

Late packages. Tracking a package that gets mysteriously paused at one location along the way for days when it used to clear in hours. Complete inability to provide any info that's not already on the website. Inability to do anything about an obvious issue with a delivery.

I'm not the only one seeing that things have gotten markedly worse over the last couple of months, am I?

***PLEASE consider including a Boveda or water pillow or some sort of humidity when shipping USPS*** There is no longer any confidence that your package will arrive within the time frame it used to.
I do not know but this whole past winter most of my shipments have shown up a day early. What I think is happening is they see my package and yours and say "Pshhhhh" Let's rush toastedfoots(y) and put senor perfectos on the backburner:stop:". True story. ;)
