Another LOL at Mail Delivery Problems

beach-mom — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 01:45:56 GMT

My SIL mailed our present from another part of our state on December 15 - two-day priority. It came today. There was a strange white paper attached that had weighing information on it. The package was not overweight or oversized.

It was mailed December 15, two-day priority. Apparently it arrived at our post office January 8.

So I'm not giving up hope. Some of our packages sent in December might still get here!

I placed an order from the K store on 12/10. One of the items came quickly. Two items came the day after Christmas. I called their CS and they initiated a new order to replace the item that never came, free of charge. This past Monday I received the replacement order and on Tuesday I received the original order. My oldest great nephew now has 2 identical pairs of PJs. P.S. They also gave me a $10 gift card to cover shipping on the original order.

Yep, I have a similar story. A store here in NOLA sent my package by two day Priority Mail on Dec. 10 to my DS and DIL in Chicago. It arrived yesterday, January 14. This was a package of four ornaments, also not large or heavy. I think the ornaments were broken (not surprising) because the picture they sent me showed the ornaments still wrapped in tissue paper. Normally we unwrap gifts before we take a picture of them, so I think they were just trying to spare my feelings, ha ha.

My house number and state was the only thing correct on the card that came in the mail yesterday postmarked mid December. The name, the street, the zipcode were incorrect. I looked up the street name and noticed it was to be delivered to COL MD. That about 60 miles from me. In any case I looked up the street and number based on the COL MD and found the same last name. I sent it off today from our local post office . Hopefully the family will get it.

I should feel important because of my house number I was singled out to be the owner of the card. LOL

We got two Christmas cards today in the mail...they were postmarked Dec.10 and Dec.11 and mailed from friends who live about 100 miles away. We got another Christmas card last week. I wonder how long we will be getting Christmas cards?

We on the West Coast also have mail problems, but I must say, the dvds from Netfix always arrive on time i.e. when Netflix notifies us they will arrive. I wonder how this happens?

Is this true for others too?

I got a bill due 1/1/21 today 1/15/21 sent on 12/4/20. This is awful. I have made 7 phone calls to the company, and I could not get a straight answer from anyone. The new bill is due again in 4 days.Don't know when it will come. This is medical , so very frustrating.

When we mail out bills at postoffice drop box, they are cashed within 3 days. Yet invitations, or pkgs we send take a week to two weeks. Why is this? Lol!!!

My hubby got his Prescription delivery and a bottle was missing...looked like someone opened a corner.

Was not easy getting it replaced... It was blood pressure medication...

I just received my electric bill that was due on Jan. 4th yesterday. I had already paid thru their automated system as I keep track of my bills-when I get them, when they are due and when I pay them in a notebook. I never did receive bill for car or homeowners insurance. Just now getting magazines that I should have gotten a month ago. I did get my gass bill on time, though.

You're lucky Shoekitty. I do the same but in December my cable payment and cell phone payment never made it and I got past due notices. I NEVER get past due notices! My health insurance bill never arrived and I had to call them to get a mailing address since they do not take credit cards. I now check my bank account every day or every other day to see if checks have cleared. In the mean time I'm paying the same bill twice and tying up money I can be using for something else until all this is cleared up. A sad state of affairs!

@Melzie, same thing happened to me. I got my tore up bill back 2 months later in a clear plastic bag that the PO had put it in. It was my mortgage payment...took forever for them to take the late payment off my record.

@catter70

Are you signed up to get E-bills for any of your utilities?

I also received a Christmas card this week dated Dec. 15th.

Right now I'm waiting on a check that was mailed to me Jan 2. I feel bad for all of those who pay their bills using snail mail....going to be a lot of late payments!

@Tinkrbl44 , some I can pay thru the automated system. Other wise I just call customer service and pay with a rep.
