If It Isn't Fed Ex It's The U.S. Postal Service! 2 2

[workingdog]

Sent in a MFT submission package late last week via USPS Priority Flat Rate Mail.  I properly addressed it to:

CGC
PO Box 4738
Sarasota, FL 34230

The postal clerk told me the package would arrive, Monday, 10/23.

And today, I received a notice that my package was available for pick up.  However, when I clicked on the details I saw this:

Available for Pickup
HIGHLAND CITY
4114 CLUBHOUSE RD
HIGHLAND CITY FL 33846-1755

Please see attached screen cap.  I immediately called CGC customer service and the gentleman I spoke with had no idea why this happened.  I'm now waiting on a call back from the Postal Service to try and get this sorted out.  But I mean, what the heck?  @CGC Mike

I can tell you that we never go to the PO to pick up packages.  The USPS brings the packages directly to us.

Unbelievable , not that it is right but sometimes they hit a wrong button however that happens and shows something completely different . I wonder how much mike can help you since its in the postal service possession .

Thanks anyway, Mike.  I just got off the phone with the Postal Service.  The young woman I spoke with was also confused as to what happened.  She opened a Service Request to get more information and to call them back on Wednesday if I don't see anything happening.

I have a feeling this will all work out in the end.  Hang in there, @workingdog

Thank you, Mike, I'm sure it will.

It's still in the USPS system.  4114 Clubhouse Road is a US Post Office

If it was someone's house, I'd be worried.

Probably a tracking number scan error.

And indeed it did, Mike, thanks!

Awesome!  Thanks for letting me know.

Mike, mine was delivered at usps today, but it says Your item was delivered to the front desk, reception area, or mail room at 5:10 pm on April 8, 2024 in SARASOTA, FL 34230.

I’ve never seen that before. It’s always “picked up by individual.” Do I need to worry?

I actually had something similar, but a little different, happen recently. A package was shipped with UPS, and I checked the tracking for the estimated delivery date. The date comes and the tracking indicates it's been delivered. I check the lobby of my building, where the mailboxes are, and no package. Looked all over; other side of the building, where the mailboxes for the other side are; the vestibule, in case they couldn't get in/couldn't be bothered to try to get in. No luck. I check the tracking again and it indicates a different address that it's been delivered to, and it turns out that was a US post office. UPS handed off the package to USPS for the final couple miles, and I got it the next day. But I wonder what happens in those cases if something goes wrong; who covers problems with delivery?

No

Also UPS

This morning they just left a Hulk 1 on someone's doorstep in California. 

I would have preferred to send it Registered Mail, but the buyer wanted it on a day he knew he'd be home, so we opted for UPS Air Advantage, Signature Required. 

Buyer got it, but I can't believe I just paid $500 for shipping and insurance just to have it left at someone's front door.

USPS is going to sue AI.

I think you can call them and complain about it.  Maybe you should get money back. Probably no but good luck.

I called. They said I'm entitled to a refund. I paid for secure shipping with signature, I got neither. I need the local UPS shipping to fill out a form. We'll see how it goes.
