QUESTION
What can I do if I have not received mails and other items from the Post Office which has been going on for years?
Asked on Aug 29th, 2013 on Litigation - South Carolina
More details to this question:
For years, I have been having a problem with the Post Office. I buy items from E-Bay and the Post Office claims these items were delivered to my house and they were never received. I live in a private house with my mother and sister. I have notified the Post office so many times about this major problem and even told them to hold my mail and I will pick it up. After losing thousands of dollars worth of items, I felt this was the only thing to do. There answer is always that we scanned it, delivered and that’s it. There is nothing more I can do because they said it was delivered. This problem is still occurring even though I am picking my mail up at post office. Sometimes one or more slip by the workers and it so called delivered to my home and I never receive it. Please advise me on what can be done on this matter. It just seems like the post office has a licensee to steal just because they say delivered. Please help me. I have lost so much money and I don't know what else to do.

Go to the Postmaster at your post office and register a complaint. Demand to see signed receipts to prove that the items were actually mailed to you, and the address(s) to which they were mailed. There are a lot of scams on EBay.

Have a sit down with the postmaster and/or postal inspectors. There could be a thief in the system, or they could decide that you are a fruitcake. But sit down with the boss and maybe.

For your main problem, have it delivered by UPS or FedEx from E-bay. For your other problem you can write a letter to the postmaster general and I am sure he will investigate. You may also want to consider moving away from your mother and sister.

You might consider getting a post office box. That way, if items are addressed to the PO Box, it is less likely that the post office would "slip" and take it to your residence. I can't think of anything else to do except t continue to complain. If you could prove the post office was stealing the items, you could sue them, but I doubt you could prove it.
