Fking hate my USPS delivery person

[calavera]

I live in a gated building so you have to dial the apartment # to be buzzed in but USPS can bypass this with a universal key or the manager lets her in I guess. Either way this b!tch keeps leaving me notes to pick up at the post office without checking if I'm even home. She just leaves slips in my mail box and leaves. Granted delivery usually happens around 2~3PM where normally nobody is home but I've been on a break and was available the whole time.


I was home for the past dozen deliveries and only once did she actually come up to deliver and that was when I put a note at the main gate saying I was home. I can't leave the note there 24/7. Management won't let me. So every time I get something delivered that won't fit in my mail box, I have to drive to USPS to pick up and there's always a few people with pick up slips there. This is driving me crazy. I mean it's HER FKING JOB TO DELIVER, not leave slips. How do I file a complaint? /rant

Tell your apartment complex to put a few large lockable ones in.  USPS then leaves the large packages in those slots and pops the key into your smaller mailbox.

Works great here.

Hey, I live in a house, and I have delivery companies do this all the time.

I have heard the door creak once, ran outside as he was leaving. He claimed to have knocked and rang the doorbell....f'in liar.

[The_Ed]

On a happier related note, my new post office lady was quite happy today -> "I've been here 2 months now and I FINALLY got you to smile!". Apparently I never smile in the post office...

Don't think there's enough room for that. There's about 40 apartments in the building.

I works also very well here at Purdue Village. Nice way to handle the large packages.

That seems to be the norm here in L.A. area.  They don't even bother to check whether or not you're home.  They'll just leave that note and be on their way like that's the way they're supposed to do it.  It pisses me off every time.

Sounds like filing a complain wont do **** then.

USPS don't give a f***, pretty much. If it isn't easy for them to deliver your package to you, they most of the time will not. My USPS person seems to be the cool 1% of them and even if it requires a signature, they just leave the package in my lockbox if I am not home.


I guess this might be just because I converse with him from time to time, and we are 'cool'. Might wanna try that some time. Just go wait where the mailboxes are and speak to the person.

mail lady left my newegg box on the ground while it was snowing.

[ideus]

Try to speak with her, if she continues doing that, call your post office.

Ditto.  I get so many packages now my usps lady just leaves them at my door....signature be damned. 

The ups guy and I talk about video games when he delivers...so he's pretty dope in my book.

I have a female USPS... I tip her $50 every Chinese NewYear

Always get my packages..   She'll even pick up large packs that normally must go to the office.

Money is how you get things done

My mailman ate my Korean sprinsg 

HAHAHAHAHAHHA.... idk why that's so funny to me.. i mean.. they kinda look like little candies you'd eat.


Picture this scene...

He knocks on your door all tired... and you're like nonchalant, and he goes,, f...k you,,  rawrrr,, rips open your package, and starts eating the contents.... You make // face...   

he finishes eating, puts on some aviator sunglasses, gives you the finger, and walks away..

I see how you get the ladies to touch you, now.

Glad that we have in our buildings a woman that receives all our packages, though even for the one that needs a signature, my mailsman actually take the time to deliver. Thoughm the mailsman for the mail (different from packages) lost my electricity bills for a good 6 months or so.
UPS are fine, EMS actually calls me if I don't answer the door to make sure I am not home so that is pretty cool, the only issues I have with them is that they charge a ton for the services for the VAT from packages that are from outside the EU.

how many times did you do that?

[Tym]

I accidentally tipped my mail man £20 (40$) last Christmas and since then, I've been getting great delivery from Royal Mail the problems I have are with couriers, I had a GFX card thrown over a 10foot fence into my neighbours garden Christ knows why. Somehow it was still in one piece.

I nvr buy any GFX card that can't take a measly 10 feet toss.

where did you get money when you were 13?

i'm 25

but also, you didn't have $50 when you were 13?  How did you watch movies and play donkey kong, Marvel vs Capcom, metal slugs, and dig dug?

[YoungMichael88]

My mail person once left a package of mine across the street and two doors down in a gravel driveway. A little kid walked it over to me once their family got home. By this time the packaging was destroyed as well as the box inside. It looked like it was slightly ran over by a car. The stereo recording device within was unharmed thank shark.

Hmm... stereo recording eh?? Ironic that the neighbors delivered to you the device for which you were going to use to spy on them with..

i'd still ask you for an id if i were a liquor store salesman!

when i were 13, my main hobbies were girls, alcohol and martial arts, but still...

How did you watch movies

morning cinema tickets were ~$0.70.

and play donkey kong

a friend had SNES

Marvel vs Capcom, metal slugs, and dig dug?

we didn't have arcades since sovet times, though in 2005 i got a job with barely one busy day a week, so most of the time at workplace i used to play metal slugs on a pc simulator.

I only have bad problems with FedEx. USPS and UPS always deliver.

[eth0s]

Tip your mailperson, is my advice.  Service will improve dramatically, and immediately.  How much?  At least $20, and more is better, but I'd say $50 is probably overkill.

According to the rules they follow, cash donations are illegal but gifts are OK. A family friend buys his postman some Bailey's for their birthday and Christmas.

they take cash

For some odd reason we have not received anything from USPS this week other than 2 Netflix DVDs and we always get something in the mail.

Also our UPS isn't too bad at home but awful at work.

FedEx is spotty either place, once the FedEx guy shoved a150lb TV stand/entertainment center box in between the seats in my Jeep and left a note on the front door.

[Joxx]

wo, is that a service you sign up for? the phone call?

No, my phone is registered somewhere in their database, Fedex also calls me.

Our delivery guy recently left something for us at the neighbour without notifying us. Luckily our neighbour came and brought it when I had not picked it up in weeks.

He also once left one of our packages at a different depot, writing down only the name of the depot on the notification (crossing out the original one) no address, nothing. I go there, they tell me that for people in my postcode, there is a different depot and the girl refuses to even go look for me. So I go to my normal depot, not there. Call customer services, they call me back that it was at the place where the girl told me the package was not there. When I came to pick it up , she acted very defensive (without me provoking her). I just told her I do not care anymore , i just want my package...

I realized by traveling from one depot to the other, that he probably had to go back a long ride to the other depot just to leave my package there, and decided $#&&* it , I will just leave it here.

Sorry, had to vent a little bit

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes in all cases it always boils down to lazyness. If only teleport technology was here, the package could just materialize inside and there would be no effort for people to carry things about and having to knock and ring bells which seems to be so challenging.

[Malphas]

If you want good service then tip, that applies to pretty much every service sector job ever. If you complain or act like an *******, then expect your delivery to deliberately get a thousand times worse.

I do not think there is a person in this entire country (Holland) who tips the mail delivery guy. There are certain times during the year, when some postal delivery services (and the kids bringing the papers) collect some money, and I even keep some money on hand for them in this period (in a jar next to the door). Other than that I just hope they do their job, which they generally do. There is just this one guy who messes up and really does not seem to give a #$@$. One other thing I noticed is that he never writes down the tracking codes on the notifications. Annoying imo.

All you spoiled city folk... here's how I receive packages:

• Go to the mailbox, conveniently located ~2km away
• Discover the package card isn't there
• Return to 1 for about a week
• Get package card
• If it's after ~4:40p, wait until the next working day because at that point there's no way I'm getting to the post office before it closes
• Drive to the post office, pry it out of their hands

Well..... I'd assume you live where there's more fresh air, and a river where you could fish and stuff.. So, there's your trade off..

I have to sit here and inhale pollution... but I do get my packages faster.

[Mandolin]

Couldn't you ask to get your items delivered to the central packaging office at your city and then pick it up by yourself whenever you have time?

Honestly, the novelty kind of wares off after the first 10 years - also, fish? pff, minnows more like.

If we could materialize stuff CC would be out of work and everyone would have keyboards made entirely of clacks.
