USPS signed my name 😦(Update)

cbrite — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 01:40:11 GMT

I'm not sure what to feel. I had not received a package in a long time so I went to the tracking # and read what it said. It said my mail carrier with the USPS deliverd it to me and said I signed. This has happened 2x now.

I went onto the USPS site and requested a copy of 'my signature' to which I was to have signed for my deliveries.

Neither were my signature. Both were written by the same person I feel. I believe my carrier signed my name.

My first delivery I got. My 2nd package I never received.

I've reported it all to the appropriate places with the USPS. But I'm feeling hurt that my mail carrier would sign my name and not ring my bell and have me sign for them.

I've never seen the guy/gal. So I also put a note in my mailbox to please come to my door and meet me face to face. I included a note as to what's taken place and my missing package.

I 'think' he's lazy and maybe does not want to bother knocking, so he leaves things on my front table out front. Well, somehow the jewelry package did not arrive to me.

The package is insured by the nice seller but to think a USPS employee would do this twice, has me worried as to their honesty/integrity.

The USPS fraud dept. will get back to me in 3-5 days.

Again, he left a box on my table out front today and did not come to my door to meet me as I'd requested.

@cbrite The drivers are not allowed to sign for you unless you give permission. If a driver delivers it into my hands, sometimes he will say he will sign, but usually, I have to sign. I definitely would keep on top of this especially since you didn't get a package. At My Choice, there is an option to sign before something is delivered, which is nuts, why would anyone sign before they received their package(s).

@cbriteCertainly sounds as if the carrier you have isn't following USPS protocol. Please let us know what the fraud department tells you. I'd be horrified to find out he/she is following some new policy.

Re: USPS signed my name 😦

cbrite — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 00:35:59 GMT

@mousiegirl I would never give him/her permission. I've never seen him/her. The signature is horrible and very obvious it's not mine. Maybe he thought he was doing me a favor to not bother me......but the jewelry package never got to me and it's not cheap. I just can't imagine he/she would take it. Both packages came to me by the same company.

At My Choice, there is an option to sign before something is delivered, which is nuts, why would anyone sign before they received their package(s).

@cbrite I will add that I have huge notes very specific as to what the drivers are to do, and either they read them and ignore them or don't do as I ask. My regular driver will lean on his horn all the way up the driveway so I will hear him, the others are afraid to. I instructed them to knock hard on the door with the huge door knocker, they don't. I confronted one the other day as I happened to be standing in the front hall and heard a tiny tapping on the door with knuckles, so went downstairs and let him have it. He was afraid to use the doorknocker even though I told him to do it.

The reason I have to sign for everything is because over a year ago, on the same day, four packages were not delivered, only one, though the driver logged in that they were, so now due to their mistake, I have to suffer with signing, though it is better in that they can't not deliver and get away with it.

I hope this is rectified for you soon.

@cbrite Imagine it. One driver told me recently a package was not on the truck. I saw a zulily package and asked him to check it, sure enough, it was mine, so he ranted that it was supposed to be on a certain shelf in the truck, blah, blah. I have had so many issues with UPS, it isn't funny.

You can file an online complaint on the USPS.com website.

That was the only way I got my local post office to respond to a problem.

cbrite — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 00:47:11 GMT

I only have big issues with the USPS...never much with UPS or Fed Ex.... Maybe I need to give them something out of my gift drawer, lol......

I will keep you informed. He/she will most likely lose their job...and I hate that too.

Thanks for your replies @ Montana @mousiegirl @millieshops

Spurt — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 00:55:45 GMT

UPS usually knocks twice, signs my name and leaves the package at my front door. Once in awhile they will knock and ask me to sign, or sometimes they leave packages at our Condo Mail Center where we've given the Condo Association Rep permission to sign for our packages and we get a text or email notifying us of a delivery. And until they are picked up the packages are kept in a locked mail center station. But you have to pick up the packages during the office hours which can sometimes be a pain.

And USPS either puts packages in our mailbox or leaves them at the Mail Center. What irks me about USPS....he's STUFFED clothes in the mailbox making them all wrinkled instead of taking them to the Mail Center where they would not get wrinkled and today I got a notice a package arrived and it was a book that would have easily fit in my mailbox and he's done this before too (other small things Ive had to go to the Mail Cener to pick up which was unnecessary) ... If its in the mailbox those are in a panel box on the outside of the Mail Center and you can access the mailboxes 24/7.

So I can't keep track of how packages are delivered.

Ive lived here a long time and there are steps and bushes near the front door not seeable from the sidewalk or street. I know my neighbors so I havent had a problem of packages being taken. But normally we have people coming to the property on Saturday leaving flyers for restaurants and nearby businesses (which they are not suppsed to do there's signs posted on the condo property gate ) And I was suprised that UPS delivered a package on Saturday ---it was after 2 PM after I left to meet friends and that made me a bit nervous because there were also flyers left by door too....I dont want them casing my house looking for packages....

@cbrite

Good Luck I hope you get your package or a replacement delivered.

Re: USPS signed my name 😦

cbrite — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 00:52:30 GMT

@ Montana I called the fraud/thieft USPS department, after talking to my main post office here. I was given a case #....... So, I'll see.

The main post office sort of stuck up for the carrier...saying he/she's delivered my mail for years.....and I said, well in all these years I've never seen him/her nor have they come to my front door! (I cannot see out from where I am inside)

Re: USPS signed my name 😦

Spurt — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 01:00:27 GMT

@mousiegirl

Ive never had a problem with UPS....I know those drivers and its the same couple of guys that deliver.

I have had problems with Fed Ex and USPS............

@cbrite I just realized you are speaking of USPS not UPS, and I have been complaining about UPS, but I have had many bad experiences with USPS also, lost hundreds of dollars worth of items because they weren't insured. I hope your packages were insured because otherwise, USPS does nothing, in my experience, to rectify such a situation.

I even sent a CD with a USPS manager's recorded phone call to me, recorded accidentally, to the Postmaster General, no response, who told me over the phone that he saw my package there and didn't know why it wasn't delivered. In spite of many phone calls, I never heard again. The postal workers who answered the phone kept telling me to contact the Postmaster General, but nothing came of that.

All USPS does is open a case and that is the end of it, but maybe because your incident is different, you may be compensated, but I doubt, but hope, it will be soon.

@Spurt The seller is wonderful....and I'm not worried about getting a new one. She insured it. She was great to chat with about Easter and such. We're just shocked.

I know what you mean by the USPS stuffing things into the mailbox...Hope you had a wonderful Easter~

@cbrite Seems unlikely the United States Postal Service employee would risk his/her employment and benefit package (including a nice retirement) package by signing your name to a package unless given a reason to do so.

You mentioned something about four packages in the past which now have your signature required. Are you readily available to sign packages when the USPS dellivery stops? Remember, they are on a tight schedule and do not have time to wait a lengthly time for you. Perhaps it would be a good idea to sign up for Interactive Mail through USPS.com; then, you'll know exactly what mail to expect. You will, however, have to watch the tracking number of packages you order and be close on the day (and at the normal time of delivery) for the convenience of your USPS delivery person.

I'd remove the "large notices" you have posted. The employees for USPS pass stringent testing and are knowledgeable employees. Please don't insult their intelligence. That could be the problem.

If you and the USPS delivery person have a personality conflict, you are going to have to "kill him/her with kindness" in order for your packages to be delivered properly. Sorry to say it, but sometimes that is human nature. Kindness always pays! Good luck and perhaps you won't have to sign for anything in a year or two. (Have you asked how long that requirement is in force? After six months of kindness, ask the question!)

I did have a nice Easter and hope you did too..........

Glad that you purchased the item from a good seller who is willing to get you a replacement .....

SXMGirl — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 01:16:02 GMT

@cbrite, I have never heard of this, but it is important to find out exactly what is going on. I would try to meet with the driver and supervisor and find out who is signing. Is it possible that a neighbor is signing for you?

@cbrite Great, I am glad to hear your items will be replaced. QVC, and three other companies replaced the items lost by UPS that day, extremely nice of them, but I also have been a long time customer of all four companies. One was a huge box of plants shipped from Ohio, and another package was from another plant online company, and one from zulily which also replaced, so all UPS had to replace was one, the most expensive, as it turned out, lol.

Re: USPS signed my name 😦

cbrite — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 01:20:46 GMT

@BirkiLady I've only said 2 packages required signatures - both shipped by same seller to me, and seller requested my signature on both. First package was left out on my table and it was NOT signed by me.

The 2nd package shipped to me never arrived, and again the seller requested my signature...the signature again was NOT mine - but I'll bet my bottom dollar the same person signed my name on both - they are exact, sloppy and a big ol scribble.

I am available - I again left a note in my mailbox early am today, to knock and meet me as I've never met my mail person. My door bell works fine - Fed Ex has no issues reaching me to sign..... nor does UPS.

I'm very kind......giving. But it's not ok to sign my name w/o my permission and then the package does not arrive.
