growalot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Here is an important suggestion... If you have found that your mail contains other peoples mail...or all their mail and you have none. Please do not just leave it and put the flag up...call the post office and tell them!...Because if it's happening to you...it's happening to others...What of the people that don't check at the Box or don't check for days...Then that could be your mail sitting in someone car,on their counter or even tossed...When leaving and putting the flag up..Do you think that carrier is going back and telling their boss, I've screwed up at this that and the others mail box? NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpkot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 side note I just found out my mail I send locally goes to Rochester to be "sorted" then delivered back to buffalo area. Apparently they got rid of sorting in buffalo area. Anyone else hear about this? Could be old news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they'd been getting mail as well..I called post office.Christmas time..package didn't fit so they just left it sitting on top of the paper box! Mr B. Has been talking about changing Banks because our statements haven't arrived or way late..then yesterday my mail box was filled with someone else mail not mine...get in car,knock on door. You have my mail?I have all of yours. I don't know,we don't check every day.Go look. WTH!

Tacti_Steve Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm the guy that only checks the mail once a week. I have gone completely paperless. Any mail work looking at goes in the scanner then shredder before it even gets read. My postman is horrible at it. I've found other peoples mail with tire tracks on it in my box before. I had to permanently put my name on the box and below it I put no one else lives here. Sometimes I think they just don't deliver it because it gets full of spam after a few days.

My wife and I just joked about it 45 minutes ago when she mailed a thank you card to someone who lives 1/4 mile away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We're mostly paperless as well. It's a rare day any mail makes it past our recycle bin and into the house. Playboy, American Hangunner and Outdoor news being notable exceptions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 After I win the 1.5 Billion, my next mailing address will be..."7 Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island". If my mail gets misplaced, I will send the pilot and Co-pilot over in my Leer jet to retrieve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Ohhh Boy!...so their boss must have called them before they got to us today... and I go to get my mail and there is a sticky note on it...Sorry I if I got yours backward...Then gives 4 #'s I will rubber band yours from now on. There was a lot of mail yesterday... Now that looks like a nice note doesn't it? Until one would have to realize the 4 #'s she said she got back wards...NONE OF THEM ARE IN MY ADDRESS ...BTW I have my #'s on both sides and the door of my mail box 3 inches high...I sit here shaking my head...

The_Real_TCIII Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I bought a $1,600 baseball card online for a buddy a few years back, USPS left it at the wrong house. The guy drove it over to my house after he opened it and realized it wasn't for him. He could have simply kept it and I'd have been screwed.

Paula Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I only get a couple bills, mostly paperless. If I don't get a bill I am still capable to make a payment. We don't get others mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Now that there is no more nudity in Playboy, I would have expected a shift in reader demographics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm a subscriber of over 30 years , the no nudity starts this spring , Im shocked , shocked I tell you !I believe Pam Anderson is either going to be on the cover or center fold of the final nude issue, at least they're going with one closer to my age , kinda creepy when the center folds are my kids age. I'd do enjoy the humor and articles so for a few bucks a year I'll keep getting it . Edited January 12, 2016 by Larry302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason118 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 When I was single I used to take the mail I wanted out of my mailbox and leave the rest lol. I'm a UPS driver ~ if we deliver to the wrong house and a person calls it in we get a trip to the office. I would talk to the carrier first before upper managent. Always better to have a good repor with them than a sour one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thphtm Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This happened last week. Ordered some small and light items from a business 37 miles away. from my PO. we do not have delivery to our house,we have PO Boxes.The business sent the items in a small box by Priority Mail , they said it might take 2 to 3 days. Now here is the part I do not understand. The package went from the PO where the business is to Springfield , MA =192 miles from there to Lakehurst , NJ =226 miles , from there to Albany , NY = 212 miles , to the main PO nearest to me = 88 miles to my PO Box 5.2 miles and 1 week later I got the small ,light box. When I do go to the town where the business is , on the way there on the same route there always are mini vans to tractor trailers bring supplies up to the area where Ilive, again 37 miles away.
