United States Postal Service [USPS] Stolen money orders

Dawson-Porter email: [protected]@aol.com; cell associated is [protected]. Incident# INC000026638432 at the accounting help desk, On November 6, 2021. I purchased two money orders in the amount of $1,350.00 that was stolen from the outside blue box of pot office. I filed two 6401 inquiry's reports of the money orders and found out that they were cashed by an unknown offender at the post office in other towns. I then filed a police report with the local Clifton NJ Police file number #21-50627. I also contacted the postal inspectors file #[protected]. I am trying to dispute this claim with the accounting department. File #[protected] another file number associated with case is#[protected]. Filed incident complaint#[protected]. I sent emails to the accounting off and the help desk at General Accounting Branch in Stlouis, MO to no avail. I am retired and is on a fixed income. This was my rent money and I maybe on the verge of being evicted or homeless due to lack of reimbursement of my money. I have copies of all my documents of my case.

Desired outcome: I want to get an apology and get reimbursed to pay my rent so I can put this nightmare to rest. I have no faith in our USPS at this current time due to lack of concern with proof of the incident.

Hard working citizen who has worked for federal government for 35 years of service, now retired being treated like an undocumented individual falling through the bureaucratic corruption of stolen and cashed money orders saga. The Federal Accounting Branch feels like my money should not be reimbursed. I am overwhelmed, disappointed and appalled with the handling of my situation. The statement written on the back of the money orders regarding lost or stolen money does not hold up well with getting a resolution and/or satisfaction.

I have been fighting this situation since November 2021. All I'm getting is the run around speaking to all agency departments. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission and small claims.

On march 4th 2022 I purchased two money orders from the Citrus Heights P.O I filled out the money orders completely with me being the purchaser and my landlord being the receiver one in the amount of $1000 the other amount was $200 I then put the money orders in an envelope addressed to my landlord placed stamp and put envelope in the out going mail slot inside the post office the same way I do every month to pay my rent. On the 17th of March I received a call from my landlord saying he did not receive the money orders. I took my receipts for the money orders to P.O where purchased and paid to have the money orders tracked . I received copies of the money orders showing that they had been altered refilled out and cashed at the Foothills Farm post office on the 7th of March 2022.(the copies I received it appears to still be able to see the impression of my writing on the checks I do not think they should have been cashed) I followed the instructions that came with the copies I received making copies of the receipts and a written statement and went to mail them to address as per instructions but when I tried to mail it I was told that the zip code nor po. box existed I showed the letter to the PO employee and asked him what he suggested I do he had no advice so I went home and after going online trying to decide and making several calls and getting nowhere I decided to mail it back to the address that sent me the copies .I received an email from them informing me that the money orders had been cashed and there would be no refund given. I found the whole process very unprofessional and unacceptable I feel as though it is quite possible that my money orders never left the post office that they were mailed from.

Money orders stolen from outside post office in Clifton, NJ from the blue box outside the post office the US postal building. On the back of money order receipt if it is lost or stolen reimbursement would be honored or replaced. Filed a complaint with the postal inspectors, file an inquiry report at the post office file a theft complaint with local police, send emails to the accounting department to resolve this situation and to no avail. It has been months now decided to take further action against the post office. I have no Faith in the USPO anymore and I will have to pay extra to feel secure that my mail and packages get to its destination.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Delivery

I got my license renew from dmv they sent them out usps and a picture was taken because we have inform delivery stating it would be delivered, it never showed up. I went to local post office they just give me run around said that it may went back to dmv, I waited another week and went to dmv today and they said it never was returned and if it wasn't delivered or sent back in another week that I would have to pay the fees for my license again and have it re delivered, with hopes of it making it here to my home the next go around. Needless to say I am pretty upset and would like to know where my license is being it was where ever they take a picture for inform delivery to tell you it will be arriving that day.

Desired outcome: would like my mail or for USPS to pay for my new license replacement.

I have been waiting for my license to arrive for 6 months and my car registration for a year now. They keep returning it or it is lost. I have paid so many fees to get them remailed. Still don't have them after 3 complaints online all saying the carrier has been spoken to and told not to return my mail. They then close the case as resolved.There is no change of address on file. Why can I not get my mail delivered, this has cost me my job as well as benefit cancellation and no way to prove my identity. Dmv requires the license to be mailed to me! A year of nit getting my mail is ridiculous!

My niece lives @ 7436 S. Exchange, Basement Apartment. Cards I have sent have been returned to me as undeliverable. Her name is clearly on the box. I have been calling the post office @ 773.75.2180 for 3 weeks now at various times: phone continually rings and then shuts off. I want to find out why this mail is being returned to me.

She needs to know that she is being sent various holiday and birthday greetings. What can we do to resolve the issue ASAP?

Desired outcome: Brought to carrier attention that this is happening and make it stop.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Hazlewood, Mo Sorting hub

I have multiple packages being "stuck" in the Hazlewood, Mo facility. This hub has a history of being a USPS bottleneck. USPS has invested 40 million dollars in upgrading these facilities and instead of getting better continue to get worse. Packages that I ship east and packages I receive from east always are delayed at this facility.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Customer Service In Person Post Office Parker Rd Plano, TX

I went to this post office at lunch to mail seven letters. I waited for the self service postage station for 30 minutes. It did not work, would not accept my chip bank card. I then had to go stand in line for another 30 minutes. There were three postal empolyees, then one left. All people in front of me were treated respectfully and stayed at the counter as long as necessary. When it was my turn I told the postal employee I needed to mail these seven letters and put them on the counter. She said, oh so you want to buy stamps? I said I want to you to mail these letters and pay for the postage affixed. She pulled out seven stamps from her drawer and gave them to me with my letters.
I said, excuse me, I asked you to mail these and I have been waiting patiently while you helped all of these other people mail their letters and packages and now I have to mail my own? No way. The other postal worker chimed in stating just pay and move along so we can help our other customers. What? I had been there longer than anyone else in the post office.
Horrible customer service. I will not be using this post office again.

Desired outcome: Apology

I live in Las Vegas, NV. I would like to know why i am not receiving the weekly add. its been 2 weeks, i hope our advertisements are not being thrown out. I did call the P.O. but nothing has been done. My zip code is 89123 . I have a neighbor who is disabled and i shop for both of us. I know your company pays the P.O. to deliver but we never get it. Very frustrating when you live on a fixed income and you really rely on the adds. Thank you.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Missing package

RE: Tracking # 92612909814768581083530595. Filed a service request on 8/31/21 # [protected].

My post office in Bronx, NY 10472 has been horrible. Most delivery people do not come to my apartment to bring my packages. I have had missing Amazon packages during the past year. Most times, they just return them to sender.

This time I am waiting for a package from Avon. the USPS site says "awaiting scan" since 8/29/21. I filed the above service request # on 8/31/21... so far no response. I tried calling over there numerous times. Seems like they pick up the phone and then hang up. It's horrible. I am a senior and should not have to deal with this aggregation.

Thank you,

United States Postal Service [USPS] Lazy, worthless employees!!

I work from home, I live upstairs, and it is difficult for me to get up and down the stairs. I rarely drive because I get everything delivered.

Well... Almost everything!

The lousy, worthless, f-tard turds at the usps office in plano, tx at 3400 coit rd, plano, tx 75075 are miserably the sorriest excuse for what resembles a human being there is!

I have told them millions of times... I must have my packages delivered to my front door! And they never do it!

I keep forgetting to ask who i'm purchasing from who they use as shippers. When I do remember, or they have it listed on the check out menu, if they do not have fedex on there, I won't order from them!

Ups are just as worthless and lazy as usps, as they hand off my packages to the usps... Who of course never delivers them to my door!

I get a "door notice" in my mailbox! Seriously! I live in a very small apartment complex! And actually my apartment is right next door to the office! Why can't these miserable fu*ers walk a few feet to my front door after they deliver to the office?
Useless monstrosities and abominations!

I cannot get to the post office and I should not have to go, because I pay my hard earned money to have this stuff delivered to my front door!

There are even oversized mail boxes that are available to put packages in so people don't have to go anywhere, and the miserable pissant monkey can't even do that! I take that back... A monkey would do a much better job!

This is why people hate, loathe, and despise the usps! This is why people want to see it go under! They are completely 100% worthless turds!

Desired outcome: burn in hell

United States Postal Service [USPS] Mail delivery

I have lived at the same address for 14 years. Beginning in July, 2021, my mail carrier began placing a card in my mailbox upon which is written:

"Attention Mail Carrier. This address is currently vacant. Do not place mail in this box. Vacant!"

When I remove this card, the mail carrier replaces it the next day. The mail carrier is returning my mail and packages to sender. As of today (August 25, 2021), I haven't received any mail or packages for part of July and all of August 2021. I have contacted the Supervisor/Postmaster at my local post office (Absecon, New Jersey 08205), explained the situation, with no results.

What can a powerless citizen do, when the United States Postal Service refuses to deliver his mail for no legitimate or lawful reason? Apparently, the mail carrier has decided I have moved to a new address and that my mailbox is vacant. How he came to this conclusion, I do not know. I will not approach the carrier directly for fear he might make false allegations about my conduct.

As of now, I cannot receive mail through the United States Postal Service. As you can imagine, this is a serious issue which will have a consequential impact on my life.

Galloway Twp., New Jersey

Desired outcome: Reinstated mail delivery

Have you talked to a lawyer?
Do you have video of the postal worker doing this?
Do you have documentation of all these things you've done?

You may have a case to sue the USPS for causing you grief and personal problems that is causing them to interfere with the quality of your life.

United States Postal Service [USPS] Service in Pismo Beach, CA

I write a lot of letters. Often (every two weeks) the sorting machine picks up on my address instead of the addressee's and it goes in an endless circle, between my address and the post office's. Our regular carrier, Scott, is outstanding. His subs often have neither the training nor the initiative to solve the issue. That involves crossing out codes, on the front and the back, and putting it in one of their envelopes if that doesn't work
Instead, the letter keeps coming back — often as many as four times — the envelope gets damaged in the process, and the letter might never reach its destination. This happens randomly, and has happened for years.
Sophie is the only supervisor there who showed good customer service. Gaby, Steve, and Jay have been anywhere from ineffective to obnoxious.
I had three stamps on the last outgoing letter to experience this, which still hasn't arrived two weeks later. Lots of money for no service.

Desired outcome: Train the carriers to do their job. Get my letter mailed!

United States Postal Service [USPS] Package from Amazon

I was left a message on Amazon that stated there was and issue delivering my package.
"Delivery attempted, but front door or driveway was not accessible.
Waycross, GA US"
I have a walkway to my front door from the road as well as a driveway in which my SUV wasn't even in my parking spot. There was plenty of room to park and walk to my door. I cannot see how a USPS employee could no access my front door. This is not acceptable in my book, and nothing but a bold faced lie. I am a carrier with a different delivery service and this is not good practice at all.

Desired outcome: My package delivered and the employee spoken to about lying
