Delivery Confirmation

Post by Vicky »

My mail box is about ¼ mile from my house so if I’m expecting something, I get there within 15 minutes or so after the mail carrier.

A vendor shipped some parts I ordered with “Delivery Confirmation”. On the day the parts were scheduled to arrive, they weren’t there. I checked the vendor and he had Delivery Confirmation that they were delivered.

I checked with the post office and the mail carrier swore he put the package in my mail box.

A week or so later, the postmaster called and said someone had brought in my package – it had been mis-delivered.

I now insure stuff I send so people have to go to the PO and sign for a package to pick it up. I know it costs more but it should eliminate this problem.

I might be mistaken, but i think Signature Required is a good way to go because nobody has to make a trip to the post office. I wonder if your mailman would drive the 1/4 mile to your house to get the signature.

Not if it is RFD. UPS and FEDEX come to your door.

The Ups man leaves things at the Gen'l store if the weather is bad ( 5 miles) and fed ex makes you go to Their office ( 30 miles) if they miss you . You obviosly don't live in a RIURAL area. No such thing as overnite delivery either. We chose to live in the sticks, this is part of the price. !!!!
