We attempted to deliver your item at 10:51 am on February 04, 2005 in MUNCIE, IN 47304 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

A) I was up at 10:51. In the kitchen, no less, which is right next to the front door.
B) I can find no trace of any notice.
C) So what, exactly, am I supposed to do now? There's no information as to which post office has my package, and even then, I'm unsure of how I would attain it.
D) Will they attempt delivery again tomorrow and leave another non-existant notice?

But hey, my bills arrived just fine.

The post office that delivers your regular mail either attempted to deliver the package/item but you didn't answer, or it was too oversized for them to even bother trying to delivery it.

To find the post office that delivers your mail go here:
http://www.usps.com/locator/welcome.htm?from=home&page=0060locatepo

If you don't pick the item up in a week they'll return it to the sender.

No, they won't try to deliver it again.

That brings up four different locations.

That brings up four different locations.

Put in your zip and I see two in Muncie and a few in other nearby towns. One is not clearly closer than the others?

There should be a phone number on the notice or web site which you can call -- I had a similar problem a while ago, and after going through an irritating menu system, I was able to find out which location the package was at.

Shit, that's the wrong page then. There's one that specifically tells you "YOUR MAIL IS DELIVERED BY..." so lemme try to find it.

 

[goodcow]

I can't find it anymore.

Call 1-800-ASK-USPS.

One is 4.8 miles away, another is 5.5. And it turns out it's being held at the one 5.5 miles away.

Thanks. What a horrid menu system: "For English, say or press one."
"One."
"For Spanish, say or press.."
"ONE!"
"Please pick from one of the following seven options."
"Customer service."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
"Customer service."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
"Customer service."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Please hold while we transfer you to a customer service representative."

Thanks for the help guys. I think it's fucking ridiculous that I was home at the time and the regular mail arrived just fine later in the afternoon. Not to mention they managed to misroute the package to the wrong coast earlier in the week. And hey, thanks to work, school and the hours of operation at this branch, I won't have time to pick up my package until next Wednesday. Brilliant.

The USPS lost my custom Fender Jaguar. I will never ever forgive them.

I say we start our own postal service.

Report all obscene mail to your local potsmaster.

The USPS lost a package of mine. I went to complain and they said that it had been marked as delivered and considered it as such. They were quite rude about it too, I was livid.
