yeah those jokers at the Katy carrier annex suck. most of the time when your informed delivery says you are supposed get a priority mail on that day you get it the next day. Since Beryl I have not had a picture of any mailpiece in my informed delivery.

Yes no pictures of mail since Beryl, the mail still goes through the sorting machine. We had a package that was supposed to be delivered with a signature, it was marked attempted no one home. We were home, then the next day it's delivered to the mailbox and said it was signed for. It wasn't signed for. USPS hire people who don't care, I took the postal test in the 70's and didn't get the job.
Before or after it makes it's drop?
I had this problem frequently in memphis, but informed delivery has been on schedule since living in Savannah. I also haven't had but one incorrect delivered mail during the last year.
Only thing I have used recently is Amazon.......they are good about delivery notifications and pics of the item delivered. For me anyway.
Been a long time since I ordered bulk ammo or anything expensive and gun related. But I used to have to do some planning to be home because they would leave that shit outside the door even if it required a signature. I live in an apartment complex so boxes of 1000 rds sitting out wasn't good.

UPS driver just destroyed (ran over) our trash bin. Dropped off the amazon package, said oops my bad, and left.
Does anyone have a number we could call? (Just to bitch, they won't do anything about it.) Nothing on the website, and the automated 800- customer service number is useless.
Good news is, we have it on camera and the trash service will replace the bin at no charge.

Not packages--at least so far--but I have a small, one-man LLC and last February I moved its UPS Store street address to a location closer to me. In other words, rented the new box and let the old one expire. So I submitted change-of-address info to USPS.
I don't get a lot of mail there, so I only check it once a week, and those from whom I expect mail were notified of the new address. Checked the box last Wednesday. Two envelopes from different senders. One postmarked May 14 and one May 16. Yep: it was sometime between August 1 and August 7 when the letters mailed 11 weeks prior finally found their way to me. Both had been mailed in Houston to a Houston address which had been set to forward to a different Houston address.
The average walking speed is around 3 mph. If you were to walk 5 hours a day, you'd cover 15 miles. If you were to walk 5 days a week for 11 weeks, you'd walk about 825 miles. So I could have walked from downtown Houston to Colorado Springs, Colorado in the time it took the USPS to get those letters to me.

I just ordered a $700 part last week from Rock Auto. It showed delivered, but wasn't there. We looked at the delivery picture only to see it sitting at the front door of our old house in IL that we sold more than a year ago.
I called my realtor and got the number for the new owner. She had already took it back to the local DG, the FedEx drop off point. So I called them and offered good money for her to ship it to me. She said it was "in the system" and she couldn't do anything but send it back to the sender.
So I called FedEx directly. The lady there, in barely English says "you're F'ed, it has to go back to the sender". So I messaged with the bot at Rock auto only to find that after they received it back, and after they inspected it, I "may" get a refund. And that if I wanted another turbo, to order another.
Later that night I got a call claiming to be the local FedEx hub asking for my address so they could forward it here, free of charge. The call seemed a little off, but not completely scammy. So supposedly, it's on the way, but I didn't get tracking info. So now idk wtf...

This got me thinking, so it re-tried my old tracking number. It shows "duplicate tracking results". One of which is the original delivery. The other says out for delivery from Bryan TX! So apparently it was on the level, and I may actually get my turbo yet. Now if only no one backed a truck over it 3 times a long the way...
