USPS signed my name 😦(Update) - Page 4

Gosh....I'm feeling bad about the usps fellow - He does know I have health issues so possibly he was trying to not bother me.....and just signed my name..... I can't believe he would take my 2nd package.....if he did, in fact, sit it on my table, well, maybe someone walked by and took it..... I'm sure he thought he was helping me. I don't want him to lose his job. I was just so shocked....I'll pray on it and him.

@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.

@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.

There seems to be some confusion here. USPS is United States Postal Service (the post office) not UPS.

Saw a news report once where at Christmas time, one mail person was so overwhelmed, they just stopped somewhere and threw a bunch of the packages over some ravine. Human's who knew?!

I don't know the rules of who can sign. Might be the area or in the past signing a blank statement that THEY can sign for you. However I am very very very careful. l try hard TO BUY THINGS THAT DON'T TAKE A SIGNATURE. I might not be home. And things from other countries are tricky. Imagine buying something from Ebay and it costlng only $5 or less and having to sign for it and not being home.

Ok, let the process work itself out. You aren't out anything. You said the seller made it right for you, Usps is processing your complaint. You have a case number so that proves that. Like they say.....stuff happen.

I would think that is illegal.

@cbrite Maybe it was a substitute driver and was delivered to another residence where they signed for it. I've had items delivered to the next street over as our numbers are the same and the street name is similar. Also had Amazon boxes delivered to my house that belonged to a neighbor across the street. It could be that you have a neighbor who got the package and decided to keep it.

Of course there is always a chance that you got a driver who wasn't supposed to, but did sign for the items, but isn't mail fraud a felony? Doubleful that the driver would risk a felony charge to steal your package especially when there is "proof of receipt", signature, etc, and all the cameras that everyone has installed all over the place.

......You look like I need a drink.....

This has happened to me repeatedly, package left in a lobby shared by 106 apts. I complained to usps supervisor, (took literally hours to reach) and was told he’d speak to carrier.

It happened again.

Ours was marking our items as “delivered” even when they weren’t. Every single time he did it, I complained and got rather nasty replies from the manager of our local post office, telling me that they were probably stolen!. I knew what he was doing. He was fudging the numbers so that it appeared to Amazon that my packages were being delivered on time. Then, a day or two later, the packages would miraculously show up.

One day last week, I got a bundle of various mail pieces that should have been delivered in December!

its really frustrating! And now, due to cost, I have to get one of my thyroid meds by mail order. We’ll see how this goes! Caremark has already messed up and it hasn’t been sent out on time. Between the total incompetence, I’m probably going to run out of my thyroid meds!

Sometimes when services use USPS for final delivery, the packages are marked delivered when they come to the distribution center where they are passed off to USPS. I have had this happen a number of times. The originating carrier marks them as "delivered" when they go out of their hands.

That may have been what has happened here, thus the original carrier signs off that they are delivered, or it gets signed off when it is handed over to the post office.

WOW - reading through some of these posts here makes me just think WOW!!!

I get a lot of packages from here, there, anywhere just like many just because it's so convenient and it's so darn easy and it's what we do these days. There is VERY little and I mean VERY that I would be expected to sign for.

Regardless which service delivers if it needs my signature and I'm not home the carrier leaves a post-it indicating they will attempt delivery the next day. Still no response I get another post-it saying I now have to pick it up myself.

I really don't understand the rest of this giving your mailman the ok to sign your name to packages he needs to leave. Is this a practice the USPS knows about and is okay with? How often does anyone get something that you HAVE TO sign for?

Many of us get our prescription drugs delivered home now. Some of us get our pets' drugs in the mail too. How many of you out there HAVE to sign for such deliveries? I know I don't, never have.
