Packages with holes in them from Post Office

 What is going on with the Post Offices !  Atleast 80% of my packages have  had  holes in them when they arrived at my mail box.  Am glade that the items have not been damaged . This last pkg went through petersburg pa, then harrisburg Pa, then Baltimore Md  then onto 2 other MD post offices.  Has anyone else had these problems lately ? I've reported this issue  to QVC .

I doubt that QVC has that kind of power over the post office, but who knows, maybe they do. Smiley Happy

You need to report it to the Postmaster General.  QVC is not responsible for damaged mail.

It's not just QVC. DH ordered some cigars. The box was mashed & open. The mail lady left the package. I sent DH pics asking if that was what was supposed to be in the box. He replied No. The mail lady brought back the other cigars that had fell out of the box. The cigars were in good shape.

@skatting44: This sounds like an issue that should be addressed with the Post Office...not QVC.

@Nightowlz , didn´t  mean to laugh but I had to. At least she brought back the cigars that fell from the package.

Oh I'm so glad she did. I would never hear the end of it from DH if you know what I mean. He would have been complaning about it until he received what he should have.

They probably should not use our packages as a footballs while loading their trucks. LOL!!!

 Thought abt  going to the Post Office , but  figured they  usually  don' t care  and figure if it's  damaged then  the company will fix it . Maybe , the machines are old  or the QVC oversized bags are getting stuck in  a conveyor belt ???

Re: Packages with holes in them from Post Office

Thinking some of the damages are from the process of shipping the packages from one point to the next. Last week I received a box (delivered by UPS) that looked like it had been opened and retaped. I immediately opened and inventoried....thankfully all the items were inside.

 

The rest of the week delivered packages were all dirty like they had been in the back of a truck full of dirt. Don't think anything can be done on either side. If your items are damaged, I would submit the claims. Maybe an influx of claims might cause the shipping companies to take another look at how the packages are handled from pick-up to final delivery...just a thought.
