2. I ordered stuff on Amazon, and my package got lost ...."click here for a cancellation and refund".

it said “click here to cancel and get a refund” WTF??? I live in Minnesota, and my package got lost in Illinois. Hope I get my $86.00 back.

[triron]

8. This has happened to me as well and more than once.

[sprinkleeninow]

9. Happened to me and I had no trouble receiving a full refund. n/t

[a kennedy]

13. How soon did they refund??

and I’m really liking ESTE stuff. Screw Amazon.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. It was pretty speedy considering it only happened once to me.

Sure I was wary, but they came through in a quite reasonable time frame.

Just keep apprised of their updates. If you need to call them, do dat and don't let go!

[sprinkleeninow]

17. Also, if it turns tedious, consider notifying your method of payment

if bank or credit card. Esp. backed up by a credit card company. Then you can generate a dispute for the item and the bank or card company does the investigation.

14. Our local PO no longer delivers "the last mile"

So if a shipper uses UPS but sends it to the local PO for the last mile (USPS) it gets returned to sender and a refund will eventually be issued. On top of that, we have no home delivery for daily mail so you either pay for a PO Box or you don't get regular mail.

Kinda sucks.

19. that doesn't sound right

we have no home delivery but we get out POBox free.

15. I use Amazon

Packages shipped through Amazon delivery get here. When Amazon ships through USPS, they never arrive. I use the designated delivery services to decide among vendors, but occasionally one slips through using USPS. When I see this, I just accept that I won't be getting the package. If I can, I reorder from another vendor.

Amazon has never failed to refund my money. It has been pretty seamless.

3. I can empathize.

For years our mailman appeared at just about the same time every day, with some minor variance. Now, he can appear at 4:30 in the afternoon, 9:00 in the morning, or just not appear at all.

That prick has damn-near ruined an American institution.

4. Try going to post office real early ? You might get the person before they go out.

I worked briefly at FedEx. New workers or specially hired contractors (me) might be slow and still in the building.

6. Tracking sometimes turns into an adventure!

A recent package from Melbourne, Australia came to Los Angeles, then all the way up to the East Bay, less than a day away--then disappeared for five days, finally popping up again in Pittsburgh. A few days later it was delivered safe and sound. Not the first time a package of mine has been diverted to tour the continental US!

[womanofthehills]

18. Same with a package of mine

My package from overseas said delivered to a New Mexico Indian pueblo - post mistress called and they sent impackage on its way - to the next pueblo - she called next Pueblo and told them to put package in a big envelope addressed to her - then the package went to Texas - but I finally got it.

Quite a few times, my Amazon packages have gotten lost - I get a refund and then weeks later the package arrives.

7. Yeah.. The Saturday mail delivery has turned into a "well, occasionally, if we feel like it. "

[Dysfunctional]

10. I go to the USPS app and look to see what mail I am getting that day.

I also track all of my packages especially because I get all my med from the VA by mail. First, I get a notice that the VA had told USPS they are going to send me a package. Then I follow it to the different post offices until the last notice that it is in my mailbox. I have never had a problem and I have been getting my meds here since 2001.

11. cost-benefit analysis

DeJoy's new plan for USPS: Slower mail and higher prices, sources say

Self-serving sycophant of Trump with a goal of sabotaging the PO for two reasons: his own gain and loyalty to Trump.

Destroying million$ of mail sorting machines and going back to manual labor.

Surely there must be a cost-benefit analysis to make such a business decision. Let's see it.

12. I Remember A Year And A Half Ago When People Thought His Days Were Numbered

Sure Thing.

[AllaN01Bear]

20. update . new arrival on package..

[maxsolomon]

22. So, false alarm?

USPS works fine around here.

[QED]

21. On a good day, my mail comes about 5 pm

but it often arrives around 7.
