UPS also... and we... er, the usps picks up packages for ups, then they come pick them up at the PO... If he sent it priority, somethings wrong... if he sent it "standard", well, I just waited 9 or 10 days for an expected 4-7 day delivery myself...  |

Called my post office 1st thing yesterday, the package was attempted delivery no one home, package then sat at post office for 8 days.
No notice ever left at my house, just brought back to the post office and sat there for 8 days.
How the hell is someone to know the attempted delivery and they don't leave a notice ?

I just hate when anything is sent requiring signature, I don't have time to sit home all day and wait for the delivery to arrive. I like when both UPS/FEDEX moved away from positive presence and now just put things at the house (tell them where you expect packages to be dropped). My USPS is usually pretty good about leaving the notices and makes it easy to sign the card and he redelivers the package without me being there in person.
I found it really helps if expecting something to be delivered requiring signature, leave a note for the delivery person. Sometimes on-line tracking works (sometimes not) so you have an idea where the item is in the system and tentative arrival day.  |

I am still wondering what happened to something that was mailed to me two days before Christmas. Never got here and was never returned. Someone is very happy.  |

Lesson learned.
In future ebay purchases when I win an item, before I pay I'm contacting seller to make sure it's not shipped usps. if they insist on using usps I won't pay and tell them to keep their item.
