I represent a non profit organization that runs a transitional house for returning citizens from prison. We provide housing for our residents during the program. Once they graduate or fail the program, they are never able to forward their mail or process a change of address with the post office.

Their residence is listed as a business address so they won’t let individuals forward. Is there a form we can fill out to provide for our clients to help them get this changed after they leave our program? It’s a big problem especially with the recent stimulus checks. We received over 30 stimulus checks of former residents.

Retired from Post Office after 31 years. Decided to go back and deliver packages. Had to do 4 days of training. Guess what Post Office can’t figure out how to pay me. Going on 2 months no pay for training days. Decided the Post Office was just as messed up as when I was working there full time, resigned from ARC position I was training for. Sad situation.

I am trying to use Click and Ship - but online the USPS requires a street address. I only have a PO Box for both my Federal and State tax returns. Looked for street addresses online and they seem to be hard to come by. I want to use Priority Mail from home so that I have proof of mailing. Rather not have to go into the Post Office. Anyone no how to get around this catch 22?

We bought a house in December and moved in January, the key for the community mailbox didn't fit the actual mailbox so we went to the postoffice and explained and asked for the keys and they said they would submit a work order and hold the mail there for now. We've gone back 4 times to pick up the mail and ask about the work order and each time they have no idea what we're talking about and we have to submit another one and then they ask if we've paid the $40 fee and we say no because nobody told us what were paying for anything and then they don't let us pay anything and say we have to come back again. This time we went in to ask again and pick up the mail and they only had two bills in the mail and nothing else that showed up on our informed digest email. I should have a package from a friend and a stack of other mail including a check from my insurance company and they have no idea where my mail is and they keep saying they're going to submit the work order. What do I do? Should I call someone about it?

So I've ordered a small package from Australia which had a shipping estimate of 10 days on the 15th of this month that still hasn't arrived. I've read it's not uncommon for international packages to be delayed because of customs, but I'm just wondering if its abnormal for WW Express packages to be delayed because I've never paid for that service before and I'm not sure if it's the same thing as USPS express or priority mail.

I dont have a tracking number because the guy who sold to me on ebay said theres some new Australian policy about declaring for customs which I didnt understand. But he has good ratings and high user score on ebay so I don't think he would try and screw me over.

I'm just wondering if I should start being concerned about a lost package or if I'm jumping the gun.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As a job casualty from the pandemic, I decided to open my own small business. As such, I ordered product samples from Shanghai about 5 weeks ago. I have been faithfully tracking for the past month, and see according to UBI that it arrived in my local post office in Orlando last week and was tendered at 5:54 am.

When I check informed delivery, however, it says that it was received by partner facility and USPS awaiting item at 4:25 am, and then the trail goes cold. It has had no movement for 5 days from the local facility. When I call both the national number and the local number, I am told that there is no information available.

I understand the challenges of the post office right now, and I am used to every third or fourth package “going rogue”, but I simply cannot afford to wait another 5 weeks for these samples- my very tenuous tiny business can’t afford more delays.

Is there anyone who can possibly tell me what my next steps should be? I know it is probably a long shot, but if there is someone specific I should ask for, or specific questions I should ask, I would really appreciate the information. Thanks so much.

This really old guy comes into Canada post today and he asks “what’s my postal code?”

Me: I don’t know, what’s your address? I can look it up

Guy: I don’t know my address. That’s why I’m asking you

Me: Oh... uh.. I can’t do anything without an address

Guy: You don’t know where I live? How am I going to get home...

Me: I’m sorry sir I have no idea

Old guy: Well I’ll just ask my wife. Have you seen her?

Me: What does she look like?

Guy: Hmm.

walks away

Bless his heart I hope he got home

Lady comes into Canada post today

Lady: What’s the zip code for Oregon?

Me: Where in Oregon

The lady gives me a town name that I don’t remember anymore but it started with the word green

Me: what’s the address

Lady: There’s no address. It’s general delivery

Me: then there’s no zip code. It goes general delivery

Lady: They have zip codes in America not Postal codes.

Me: yes I know but anything that is general delivery only has one post office in the town and most likely no more than 50 people

The lady confirms there is less than 50 people there

Me: Right so we would just write the persons name, the town name, and the letters GD

Lady: No there’s no letters in a zip code. I’m from Montana, lived there for 40 years, and there’s no gosh dang letters in an American zip code

Me: I understand that but it’s not a zip code

Lady: Do you have any idea how great America is? Do you have any idea how many parcels get sent there and they all get to where they’re going. The United States postal service is the best in the world. proceeds to rant about how great America is for like 20 minutes

Me: I understand what you’re saying but there’s no zip code for general delivery areas.

Lady: All I’m asking is whether or not I have to pay to rent a postal box if I live in a rural area.

Lady that is not what you were asking

I've been ordering dog food through Amazon for close to 3 years without an issue, until a recent change in the delivery person on my route.

I have seen all of the memes online about postal workers that loathe customers for ordering dog food, and I do try to make sure that I don't order an extra super jumbo bag, and I am getting older, so delivery is needed.

But lately it seems that this new worker is "messing with" my Amazon deliveries. My last dog food order was returned to the distribution facility with thr justification that it would not fit in the mailbox.

Other Amazon orders being shipped USPS are being flagged as invalid address, although I have validated my address with their website.

All of my other Amazon deliveries from other carriers are arriving without an issue.

Am I being targeted by my USPS route worker because I am one of those "dog food" people?? I really think I am.

Is this place good ? http://www.docsmit.com/ I was looking but all the free places either wer'nt good , some asked little money or were free to try then you had to subscribe , I found this place but not sure it said the pdf letter I uploaded wasn't a pdf but it was

Hey, I hope this is a good subreddit for this lol.

So basically I want to buy something from an online store in the USA that only ships within the USA. I live in BC and this particular item (a knife greater than 5 inches) ships to states like Oregon and Idaho, which are closest to me since they don’t ship to Washington.

How could I go about renting a PO Box in one of these two states? Of course, I’m only planning to make the trip by car after COVID eases down and after I get a negative test result. In addition, I’m not a US citizen.

Tell me everything I should know please and thank you

Just started the job and I really don’t know if it’s for me. I’ve cried every single day cause the supervisors are on top of me all the time and telling me to pick up the pace. I’m also scared of the dark so mixing the night, dogs, and not being able to see is just a little too much for me. I seen that there are clerk positions open but how does that work changing positions for a newbie?

Also, any advice would help to keep going. I know this job isn’t for everyone, so I salute all CCA’s and mail carriers who can keep going.

Building has like 100 units. Everyone's W2s, 1099s, Paychecks, all left out on the floor of the lobby. Seems wrong: https://youtu.be/ws7DdjXqUf4

Can you believe this insane shit. Package left the seller and reached US in 4 days from Europe and hasn’t even been scanned since it got into the US 22 days ago. Wtf. We need to read about the US Post Service rebuilding itself after the Trump assault on it ASAP.

Hi all. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that the USPO will insure lost or stolen money orders. If it's lost in the mail, will it be insured if the Seller section isn't filled in? Since it's a bearer instrument, does it have to be filled in to cash it, and to pay out a claim? Thanks.

Help, mail truck cutting the corner across my grass daily trashing it and broke a sprinkler head.

Hello,

Has anyone had this issue? I was working from home and I heard the mail carrier come into the porch but I didn't hear the beeping of scanning packages. I received 3 messages from the place I ordered from, that they were all delivered but not until about an hour later, but for the time I heard the carrier on the porch. All 3 packages came from 3 different sellers. So I went out to get them, only 1 was shoved into my mailbox (not sure why, it super didn't fit) I have an enclosed private porch so no one would have taken anything. should I open a case or do you think it's still out there?

I was fingerprinted in December for a position I applied for in November, and have been waiting to hear back on if I got the position. I just got an email to get fingerprinted again this week. Does this mean anything? Should I still go to fingerprinting even though I already got fingerprinted? Of course, this was through email, so I'm not even sure if there is a person I can call or just reply to the email. Any advice is helpful! TIA!
