PSCG is fantastic, Shane and Sandy are a credit! The USPS stinks and is going the way of the buggy whip.
My REGISTERED MAIL was misdelivered to someone else. A beautiful coin is in the possession of God knows who due to the ineptness of an arrogant, pompus Postal Employee. The ole, "I've got 30 years in", routine.
I went to the office yesterday and asked where my Registered was. The clerk lied and said my regular carrier delivered it on 7/3. He said my carrier signed for it and turned in the 3849. That doesn't wash since I found it was delivered to a PO Box. You see, boxes are a clerk function. A carrier doesn't see PO Box mail.
Thanks to Sandy at PCGS, the Inspectors are involved as I speak. The word I get from the Service is "It's an ongoing investigation".
This clerk misdelivered to the box and lied to me to cover his puny donkey. Let's see how his 30 years suit him now.
thanks for listening and excuse any typos, I'm fried. Mike

Looks like nothing but hot air
Does your post office have the electronic signature machines for your registered packages?

No. The addressee must sign a 3849.

to have me sign for registered or insured packages and just leave at the door. I call and complain and I mean let em
have it with both guns, and now I get the packages in my mail box with the card and a note to please sign
and put back in the box.....I've got 3 cards now in my possession (these are for insured and not registered)
that they want my signature on and I'm undecided on what I'll do with them. Might save enough to wallpaper
my bathroom.

Sorry if this does not make sense, my bloods boiling.

Same here! I live out in the country where my mail is deilvered by some guy in his car (not a postal employee) and it seems like several times a year there is a different guy. Anyways, all I ever see is a note in my box along with the package down by the road (my driveway is a 1/5 mile long) saying please sign and put back in box. So anything with insurance or registered mail is left there, even the items that require a signature to receive. So far, I haven't had anything lost. But I would be out of luck I bet if something did get lost because they would claim it was delivered.
Say, do these "contract employees" have the same regs and rules to follow if you are out in the country on RR's?
i feel your pain on the po
I live in what is basically a suburb of Seattle (across the lake) and it isn't a small town, even though I doubt many have heard of it. I don't know the clerks, they see too many people to know me, and the PO that takes in mail isn't the same branch I get my mail from (it is an outlet/branch) and that is also where I have to pick up packages from as well.
All my carriers have put the slip in my box or tagged to the door if I am not home (usually the box) and, if it is insured at all, or signature required, I don't have the option to sign and put the slip back...I have to go down and pick it up and show ID.
Since they are open at 9am and are on the way to work, it works for me
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
If I didn't keep on top of things and just waited, I never would have gotten it. What service! I look forward to more of their ads and commercials. I hope they sponsor Lance again. Mike
Since my PO installed the electronic signature machines, they have always asked for my ID before giving me the registered package.
To me, that 's an improvement. I just want my packages.

<< <i>I'm lucky because a) I have everything delivered to my work address, and b) I've had the same postal carrier for the entire 17 plus years I've been here. In fact, you could probably address it to Russ Stringham, Kent WA 98032 with no street address and it would get to me.

It's not just arrogance, I was lied to yesterday when I went down with the PO with the tracking stating "Delivered". No 'woops' or 'we're sorry'. Just, keep paying more postage.

No, but I hear their burgers are quite tasty.

<< <i>I'm sorry for your misfortune and hope your coin is returned. I'm going to the PO in the AM to find out where a registered package is also. I sent it on 06/21 from VA to IL and hasn't arrived yet?
I am in the process of checking on 2 packages (registered) 1 coming in and 1 I sent out.
After 15 days you can began a formal search for a registered package (7 days for overnight package). I beleive it is form #1000
I would start the process right at 15 days to get things moving.
It looks like yours is at the 15 day mark. If it is heavily insured they might find it quick and deliver it.

Edited:
I think I will only use Priority/insured from now on.

Talk to the PostMaster General. Give facts, hold back your anger as much as you can and just be factual. Give names, dates, times, what was said, etc. State what you found acceptable vs unacceptable.
That may help straighten things out in the future. I know that when I have been a manager (retail, customer service, USArmy, etc), I have taken complaints, worked out root cause and solution, and never chastised nor badmouthed my people to the customers/complainers....but, when it was just them and I, I would straighten things out and make sure it didn't happen again. I don't handle liars well so, if they had done that, there would have been discipline and/or new jobs for people.
