[Every so often someone will send me a light that requires a signature.]
First time I "lost" a package, I thought it was a fluke.
Then my Peu titanium E body "disappeared."
Now another light is missing.
It seems this is what's happening: I'm home (work at home) during the day. Mail is delivered to my curb side box. I have a sensor that beeps when it arrives.
I go out and find a pink "Sorry we missed you" slip. The lazy @&*#! mailman never came to the door to have me sign for the package.
I go to the post office same day ("its on the truck, come back tomorrow"). Next day, stand in line again for 40 minutes... they can't find it. They tell me it will be "re-delivered tomorrow."
Tomorrow --nothing. I go back and they tell me it "must have been returned to sender" as unclaimed.
And the insurance I bought, doesn't cover the "return trip" WTF?
Of course, nothing ever gets retuned. The mail monster just eats it.
So you're thinking... he should talk to the supervisor at the PO.
That is like talking to a brick wall. Here is a typical transcript of a recent conversation:
me: (pink slip in hand) I was home, but the carrier never came to the door.
PO Supervisor: Well if you're not home they leave form 3849.
me: I was home. He never attempted to deliver.
PO Super: Form 3849 is a delivery attempt.
me: Wouldn't the doorbell work better if he needed my signature?
PO Super: You can sign form 3849
me: I did sign the form, but you can't find the package.
PO Super: We can't hold all packages forever.
me: Maybe you should try delivering them.
PO Super: You can call 800-ASK-USPS for a redelivery.
me: and they will forward that request to this office?
PO Super: yes.
me: but I'm here now. Can I request it in person?
PO Super: I'm sure it will turn up tomorrow.
(cycle repeats)
Very frustrating. Happy my Gatlight came via DHL.
Any advice most appreciated.

Mark
