“If that doesn’t get action take the matter to your Congressional Representative. They are paid to serve the people.”

Oh, and Jeff, anyone who uses the phrase “Golly Gee Wizz” wouldn’t be living in NJ very long before he incurs a serious azz kicking, or at the very least, causing the locals to double over in serious fits of laughter and finger pointing.

Jeff:

Thank you for your enlightened observations. If you were my neighbor or my relative, you would know that I’m a goddamned prince.

You’d be OK in the Northeast. We have trailer parks here too.

You should report the problem to your local Postmaster or Postmistress. If that doesn’t get action take the matter to your Congressional Representative. They are paid to serve the people.

Golly Gee Wizz…This fellow shur does like the Godd… word. I’m just grateful that he is not my neighbor, nor am I related to him, two good reasons why not to live in the Northeast…Thank GOD !! I’m sure you could pay $15 a letter at UPS or FedEx and get much better service. What do you expect for 44c ?? The ol’ sayin’ goes…you get what you pay for….Buanas Dias Senior…

Geez, Erica, for a minute I thought I was at the San Francisco post office. God, if I was the clerk, I’d be laughing at him too! Heh.

My first thoughts were along the line of Hoosierboy’s. He keeps the mail in his truck when he’s out?

OK, it is the 29th now. I need an update…

You think you have problems? Why not spend some time in the Brooklyn Post Office?

Gotta agree with #3 Ernie Nilsen.

Here in rural north-central PA its just two folks in the post office (only one at a time) and one on the road. Friendly, personal service. Of course that might be because everyone knows where they live….

I have found it quite a bit nicer to deal with folks out here than it was in Morrs County, NJ. Even if the time it takes to get things done is a little slower, it’s always much more pleaasant.

You could say you’re calling the police as you believe your mail has now been stolen… really – if it can’t be found then it’s been stolen and that is a federal offense. I think the threat of police coming in would get things moving. Talk to the Post Master of the local Post Office and tell him/her that will be the result if they don’t find your mail right now! It’s been a week – that’s long enough to find anything.

I NEVER ask the post office to do stuff – ever. We can’t even get the local carrier to deliver mail to the correct address. When I put mail on hold – I don’t give a delivery date… I take the extra time and hassle and head to the post office to pick it up. At least then I know I’ll get my mail. If I rely on them to deliver it – it could end up in just about any box along the route.

After all, I often get neighbor’s mail. Now days I don’t bother to be nice and drop it off… after the first 20 times I just started putting it back in the box and raising the flag. I am not paid to deliver the mail. However, if I get other people’s mail – who gets mine?

I wonder if that’s what happened to your mail – they delivered to the wrong address. OR they are looking in the wrong bin. Geeze.
