Thieft and the Postal Service.

[parlyvous]

Being a two time victim of 'disappearing' mail and contents, I've been talking with others.(loss to date $200.00):frustration:
Those that work in the Postal system say it is common. Boxes of See's Candy are an easy mark, Birthday card-sized envelopes scream to be stolen. They warn anyone receiving a Social Security check of any kind on the 3rd of the month..to please have it automatically deposited into one's bank account.
The Postal workers I've talked to blame it mainly on the sorters.
Doesn't the Post Office have cameras in those areas? If not, why not??

Soon everyone will be forced to send everything certified or must- be- signed for to ensure their mail will be delivered it seems.

Any input or opinions are appreciated. Have you had mail ripped-off? Worked in a Post Office?
:Thanks:

i have had exceptional results from the post office. i understand there are exceptions, e.g. a PG&E bill that i sent in that got "stuck" somewhere, so i checked with the bank to make sure it hadn't been processed, paid the new PG&E bill that was twice the size ... then my next PG&E bill showed that they had finally gotten the original check.

of course that could have happened on the PG&E end also.

in the early 90's i sold computers & computer parts via USENET & bulletin boards like BMUG (Berkeley Mac User's Group). a lot of the transactions went out UPS COD for cash. then UPS would send me a check. for it to work, both UPS & the USPS (post office) had to do their job.

out of about 150 transactions that went COD - every single transaction went through right. UPS batted 1000, as did USPS.

of course, that was 15 years ago ...

sometimes i wish USPS would be a little LESS efficient with the junk mail.

:hello:
Dear...,
I am sorry to read you have problems with the USPS. However, there is a way to remedy the situation. Would you like to know how? Firstly, a little test to verify you quailify.

At a four-way-stop-road intersection, four vehicles arrive at the same time: one is a USPS truck; the others with lights flashing and sirens blairing, one is a fire truck, the other an ambulance, and a police car. Which one has the right-of-way first?:hmmm:

You can file a complaint form with your local office detailing your situation and an answer will be provided. If after a few no replys, you should file one with the plant :wink:manager in Peteluma on North McDowell Ave, and you will get an answer to your problem for certain. Why should you do this? To keep the mail safe for all who depend on good service and ensure safety of a national treasure. Where else can you get a letter delivered to say, Maine, for a few:2cents: cents?

It would cost more than 50 cents to just warm up your car to start your trip to Maine. Think about it. More than one person handles your mail on the trip to Maine and a good job is done by the pros at the USPS. Junk mail is good :Yinyangv:cause it helps keep rates down, believe it or not!

A tip for better service is to include ample postage and readable writing to expedite it on the trip. If not, it could end up in the "nixie cage" with a delay because someone has to sort by hand to decide if it goes back to sender or to an address they had to guess. With so many mailed, yours might have to wait awhile. So help yourself and them with doing it correctly.:thumbsup:

Ben knew a good:yinyang: comunication system could foil a bad government. That is why the USPS has first right-of-way, because that truck may contain a letter from you to your government rep about a situation you wish to be remedied by someone. Think about it!:idea:

May YHVH continue to :heart: bless you & yours and America

:heart::hello:
Dearest ...,:heart:
Thanx for the reply to my posting. BUT, you seem to miss my point exactly.

How? :hmmm:You can not call the office about your case. Why? There is no connecting nomenclature the person on the phone can use to look-up your letter out of millions. That is what is meant by " ... can't:): help you..."; because they are not able to pass the information to the next guy/gal to look for it. In-other-words, the person you spoke with would not be the one investigating your problem and can not convey to anyone facts :idea:about it. So fill in the form and submit to your mailing station and NOW :thumbsup:THE PROS HAVE SOME FACTS IN WRITING THAT CAN BE PASSED :Yinyangv:TO THE NEXT PERSON INVESTIGATING YOUR WRITTEN COMPLAINT. I'm asking you to please file one for the saftey of ALL.:2cents:

Yes you are trusting::wink: That is Fathers way; some abuse the finer things in life.
Ben knew a good communication system could foil a bad government. Do not give in and let a few bad peaches spoil the pie. File in writing for Ben's sake!

You never did mention if you knew the answer to the test.

May YHVH continue to bless you & yours and America

Identity Theft is sometimes initiated by a thief who files Change of Address with USPS (those convenient packets found in the post offices) in your name but ferrets your mail to another location (the new address), including those with your personal information, SSN, credit card numbers, and bank numbers.

See my post today on the most comprehensive service available today, Identity Theft Shield, in Product and Services Offered, for credit monitoring and full restoration in case of identity theft (there is more than credit/financial related IDT arising from breaches of nationwide databases) while a member.

agreed, those change of address packets are WAY to easily accepted by the USPS.

is it possible to get a restraining order on the Post Office, to prevent them from changing your address without you appearing in person & presenting 2 photo ID's ?
