I don't really intend for this to be a dig on the USPS. They've done me a solid since I first started using them in the mid 1960's. But every so often, things happen that make me wonder.
I use their online tool called, "Informed Delivery". If something is headed your way with tracking it automatically lists it on your page, and lets you view the tracking. I've been using this tool, for a little more than a year now. It has made package tracking much easier, and even shows pics of regular mail due to be delivered.
Just recently two packages I was expecting showed up in tracking -- then one went on to be delivered in Fontana, CA. The other was here in Tucson, AZ on 11Nov, then, suddenly it was in Seattle, WA. It visited several places in Washington state, but finally returned here to Tucson, AZ, where it is expected to be delivered, today.
It wouldn't be so bad, if there were some way to communicate with the USPS, and make some kind of progress towards resolving these issues. For instance; when using their online tools, the system drops the original tracking number and generates an arbitrary case code - after that I can't connect a package with its tracking number. After all, if the package wasn't delivered to me, I will never know to whom it was actually addressed, or what it contained.
Most recently a package was delivered to the Canton, OH post office on 10Nov2021. I only know this because its tracking number showed up in my Informed Delivery. This morning, it was still there, in the Canton, OH post office.
heavyhitterokra, I sure hope the USPS can get it together this season and into the future. It's too good a service, to let these kinds of things continue, or escalate.
