US mail grrrrrrrrrr
#1
I had ordered some things from Amazon and they were due today according to the email I got. I looked up the tracking number and it says out for delivery.
Now, postman has been here and gone - no package! Where is it? Was he not paying attention and delivered it elsewhere again(yes this has happened before)
According to the USPS site, you can call up to 8:30 pm, I doubt that they are still out delivering then though.
It has a delivery confirmation when it is delivered.

Funny thing is, another item that I ordered started out in North Carolina, went to Georga and is now in Tenn. at the sorting facility. Good grief, what a waste of gas etc.

I've noticed some strange stuff going on lately also.
With all the talk of closing distribution centers around the country I think it's affecting delivery.
I sent a package to Brazil and instead of leaving Columbus and going to Chicago it went to NY and sat there for over a week!
My mail carrier is such a nice guy- he told me some horror stories after I mentioned things I've noticed. He can't wait to retire and get out of there.

Some days my mail doesn't come until LATE! They did just do a news piece for our area/ Charlotte, Hickory, that they are running some routes late at night instead of early in the day. Don't remember their reasoning behind it. So don't fret! It could still show up!

The mail service is not the best here either. I sent out shower invites about 3 years ago. Half where delivered and the other half have still not shown up. Where are they? Whatever happened to "the mail must go through!" Pony express anyone?

Are you sure it's USPS and not UPS? post office does not use "out for delivery" in the tracking info. It would say "arrival at unit" then "delivered". My dbf is a carrier and when he scans the packages is does not read out for delivery.
