re: USPS: "Delivery attempted - Front door / Driveway was not accessible"

that is what they code it when they frickup and miss the house, the package is too large to deliver that day based on the worker etc. He said there is no code for "we fricked up" and every package needs a tracking input each day.

This is the most honest answer

Happens nearly every delivery of our dog food. They just don't want to carry 30 lbs to the front door.

Also for some reason FedEx likes to leave boxes in our driveway. Ordered some new furniture last year and I was about to leave to go pick one of the kids up. Glad I glanced at the rear view camera. Big old furniture box out there after I opened the garage door. I get it, the box is heavy and you probably backed down my driveway to unload it. But ring my doorbell and tell me where it is. It was also supposed to, and ended up raining heavily that afternoon. I had no way of knowing it was delivered. Would have been a nice $500 waste if those two boxes were rained on.

Just had this scenario happen for the first time today. I’m glad to see that usps hasn’t changed their ways

The best is delivery attempted and they leave the pink slip to sign - when you have a package you need to sign for.

So you sign the pink slip and leave it on your door.

What is SUPPOSED to happen is the postal worker takes the pink slip back to the office. Loads up your package. And delivers it the next day.

What actually happens in New Orleans is your package sits at the post office for all eternity until you come pick it up yourself. Same with UPS and FedEx.

I’ve always wondered if I was an elderly human like how would I get my package if this happened to me.

The ole 2.5 year bump no one notices

I placed an order on Amazon last week. Tracked it to the delivery day. Tracking said it was delivered by USPS. It wasn't. Started a chat with Amazon the next day. Waited 30 minutes for an rep to come on. "John" reminded me of an ISP tech support guy when your internet is down. Do all the shite you've already done before you finally broke down and called. No John, this is a business. It's not on the other side of the house, not at the neighbors either. John couldn't refund me, and wanted me to wait a few more days "to see if it shows up". I told John this wasn't going to cut it, so he asked for my phone number so that his boss could call me. Broken-English Marianne called me and we went thru the same dance. She ended up telling me that if it didn't show up the next day, I should call back and start the process all over again. She said her "system" wouldn't allow a refund because the package was still in the delivery cycle. I pointed out that her "system" says it was already delivered. Made no difference. She said I would have to call back the next day and start the process all over........ over an hour of my time was spent with them trying to rectify this already.

After I hung up, I went to my credit card's website and filed a dispute. The money went straight back to my account, immediately. A couple of days later, I get an email from Amazon concerning the dispute. The email read like they had no idea why I filed the dispute, and their records showed the item was delivered. They wanted a direct reply, so I gave them one. First I pointed out that they obviously do not research an issue BEFORE contacting the customer. Chat records, recorded phone calls, and an email from "Marianne" went over their head.

I never got the "delivered" package, and have not heard back from Amazon. I have no idea how much they lose by replacing and refunding stuff they ship with USPS, but from my experience, it has to be a ton.
