Stupid USPS complaint

[mugsisme]

I should have known! I forgot yesterday was Columbus Day, and I went to the PO. I had 4 packages, and I never, ever ever do this. I dropped them in the slot. I figured that they would get to them first thing today, right? Those morons didn't scan them! I have no idea if they got to the main post office yet, but THAT one is notorious for not scanning. Now I am going to sit and worry that my packages aren't going to get scanned, and Ebay is going give me a defect.

you wouldn't get a defect for a non-scan. As long as you stay 90%+ forTop Rated, you are all set. It just needs a scan along the way or delivery to count too.
Not sure if the initial scan is part of the new rules, but I know as of now, it is not important (unless you have a really impatient new buyer)

You'll be ok. They will get scanned along the way and the labels are already uploaded. And as Justin pointed out the new policy is in effect.


Sent from a spun out toilet paper tube (one ply)!

I did the same thing with 2 packages. Got to the P.O. and felt stupid they were closed. I wouldn't worry, sometimes it seems to take a while for info to get uploaded.

OK. Lesson learned. They obviously took the mail that was left over the weekend, and did it LAST. Nice. NOT.

Confused here, it arrived at the "Origin" facility at 20:58 and then accepted at the "Sort" facility at 19:43 ? Sort facility would be where the mail was sent to be staged and forwarded on to the "Destination" facility .

All 4 of my items scanned early Tuesday, because I went inside and got a receipt. I do it every time, no worrying, no possibility that they don't get scanned, no possibility that they get lost and I don't have proof I dropped them off. Have you seen what the Post Offices look like the day after a holiday? PACKED. Tons of people in line, counters stacked, bins full, 2-3 days worth of mail to sort.....and they had the nerve to not get to your packages first thing! They work on a "first in first out" basis so stuff from Saturday gets sorted first, then Sunday, and then Monday.

I thought I replied to this. Anyhoo, I spoke with the clerk yesterday. She told me the opposite Joe. They waited until they handled everything in the P.O., and then tackled that. She said they didn't have time to do it until very late.

Of course they have to help the customers in front of them first, but when it comes to the mail that needs to be sorted, per postal regulation, its supposed to be fifo
