My mail was stolen this morning at 3:35 AM, determined via delayed witnessing on my Ring camera recording. The vehicle pulled up to my mail box at the street and was seen removing the mail, reviewing then departing with all the mail leaving the box open. Since it was dark there was no ability to determine the color or make of vehicle other than it was a recent model 4 Door sedan. I am commenting in this manner due to the failure of the Postal Service telephone system providing an option even though I listened thru every option three times.
Mail sent to my niece in Toa Baja Puerto Rico was delivered to I guess someone who stole it. A package containing Shakeology never made it. It cost us 100 dollars and someone stole it. Sorry fuckers that claim delivery and the keep it. Sorry people in Puerto Rico postal service. It NOT the first time either. I was military and kept missing packages to my mother as well.
I am writing this complaint on behalf of my household and my Amish community neighbors. We live in rural NW Montana. Our mail is delivered to our mailboxes on a busy road approx. 1.5 miles from our homes/businesses.
We have had several pieces of mail including checks stolen in the past. We reported the theft, talked with our local post office and wrote a letter to the Governor requesting a delivery extension of approx. 1 mile so our mail will be in the community and off of the main road. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 17 MAILBOXES FOR PRIVATE HOMES AND 3 AMISH BUSINESSES.
Since the letter was sent March 2021, I have spoke to my local post office several times and they said there is no way they will allow us to move our boxes and extend the route so our mail will be safe.
In the last few days, our mail was stolen again. I went to our post office to report it and was told “Yeah, its that time of year”, we will not add an extension for safe delivery and call the sheriff. It is the next day and I am still waiting for my call back from the sheriff.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! BETWEEN 17 FAMILIES/BUSINESSES WE PAY MORE THAN OUR SHARE IN TAXES TO COVER THE COST OF THE EXTENSION AND DESERVE TO HAVE OUR MAIL DELIVERED TO A SAFE PLACE!
Mail was stolen from my mail box Friday 11/19/2021 by the daughter that lives with Tanya Felkins and Christopher Buckley . I have her on video stealing my mail. They live in my neighborhood at 7226 Yecker Ave Kansas City Kansas 66109
Police and USPS WAS notified-So we will see what happens
I sent a package from Japan and it arrived in California but it was diverted intentionally to a different NON existing address. I filed a claim with the Japanese postal services who were SHOCKED at what occured and I also informed USPS who agreed that this was a stolen packagre intentionally sent to a bogus address. EN142463418JP The Japanse postal services want to decline postal services to corrupt LA!
The reality is that it is 100% safe to steal packages. There is nowhere to report it to anyone that cares or will spend resources looking into it.
Every single carrier service has immunity from stolen packages. A legal no fault policy.
No guarantee that a package will be delivered.
No customer service to report lost/stolen packages to. (None that actually work any way.)
All carriers have and do make false delivery reports with ZERO accountability. They will mark things like undeliverable or that they couldnt find an address and there is no verification.
They consistently “lose” packages with apparently no consequences or reason how, when packages are tracked every step of the way. Seems you can track packages to individual employees but they can just disappear along the way.
You can attempt to report anything other then how great a particular carrier is and you will get nowhere.
Bottom line is, until we can rig shotgun shell traps to stop package thieves, they have cart blanche to steal any package they want with almost no risk and zero consequences.
My mail has been getting stolen in transit before it gets to the local PO. I just had $460 taken from a priority mail 2 day box. The driver did not mark it as a damaged box but it was empty when I got it. Your link does not work. USPS does not care.
