Yup, dealing with that now with a knife that was delivered to the wrong place. PITA, bottom line, you are not getting it. Every post office seems to operate independantly of one another, the post office in SLC will say something different than the post office in Houstan, and no one will give you a straight answer.
I am using Fed Ex or UPS from now on.
I'm going to go to the post office tomorrow to see if I can get anywhere with them. This sounds like it may be a bit of a battle.
Hmm...Maybe I will get it tomorrow. The "expected" delivery date is for Saturday.
I have a Post Office box because it is near my house, and I need an out of house address. I am there many times a week, sending and shipping. When I have a package that I am not simply returning to someone, I drive 30 minutes away to the UPS store and ship it there.
Sorry this happened, keep in mind that the USPS tracking system is incredibly useless and this may mean it is coming tomorrow. I've seen stranger things happen. It's not abnormal for their tracking to take 3 days to pick up the number at all, then it just says it was "accepted at source" and then 5 days later it shows up at your door and they change it to say "delivered". Useless!
Maybe the person on the phone is just reading off of the same inaccurate screen that alarmed you in the first place and the package will show up on your doorstep later today (the "expected" delivery date). I wouldn't give up hope yet...
Also, could it have been a simple mistake by the mail carrier? My house number is 2336, and I get mail for 2366 on a regular basis.
Well all's well that ends well. The USPS has approved my claim and paid me 105$ USD, which is just a touch over what I paid for the skillet, (they included shipping costs). I think from now on though I'm going to purchase a PO Box so when I have things of a critical nature sent, they don't land on my front porch.
Sorry you didn't get your skillet, but at least you got your money back in relatively short order.
