I hate USPS!

[Bat-Man]

I have never been so irritated in my entire life. I want to throw my chair out the darn window.

 

I have a house in PA - and never have a problem with mail there getting delivered.

 

I also have an apartment in Alabama. I rarely have anything shipped to my apartment in Bama. But I have had 3 important packages shipped to me at my apartment this year.

 

My apartment complex is not gated and my apartment has a door to an outside breezeway on the first floor. Very simple and easy to get to my door.

 

I have had 3 packages delivered this years and every single darn time I wait for them in the afternoon. Keep checking USPS.com only to see the status pop up "Attempted Delivery, Notice Left" AND I WAS HOME and no delivery was attempted and no notice was left. And every stinking time I have to take time out of my work day to go pick up the stupid package!

 

What gives? Should I complain at the post office???

Does your complex have a place where all mail goes or does the mailman deliver to ever single apartment?

[DrWatson]

Yes.

[faster friends]

At least they did not leave it to be pilfered. Get your Lazy butt to the PO and pick it up

Both. Have a community mailbox wall but the USPS delivery person used to always deliver to my door. If you see my complex it is so simple its silly to deliver to my door. And my box mail box is too small at the community wall.

If it was scanned attempted and you were at home you should call the PO or go there and find out why it wasn't attempted. I am sure a supervisor or other carrier will bring it out to you if you let them know.

[G.A.tor]

if you have a community mail area, then the PO carrier treats it as such and doesn't deliver to each individual apt... that is typically their policy, though I am sure if you spoke to the postmaster, he could make other arrangements...

 

the "attempted delivery, not at home" is standard for a box too big to fit in a lock box at your apt complex

Maybe there is a sub or new driver on the route?

 

I know my mailman does over 250 drops a day so running to the door at an apartment complex would be time consuming.If you want door service have them sent with a signature required or maybe use Fed ex.

Government cut backs, , I would rather pick it up at the post office instead of it sitting at your door step like UPS does.
