<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">I can totally empathize with the frustration over late/ missing packages (especially when it’s medicine), but just wanted to pass this along. Our neighbor is a USPS employee and we hadn’t seen
him in ages. So a couple weeks ago we saw him in his backyard on a Sunday afternoon and said hello over the fence. He said they are totally swamped at the post office and he’s now working 7 days a week (only takes a half day on Sundays).

that they scan it delivery meet the contract requirements is accurate. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I never try for Sunday deliveries. The Sunday staff, for our house at
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/1213+East+Capitol?entry=gmail&source=g">
1213 East Capitol</a> have a 20% delivery rate for Sunday. The USPS staff mark it as delivered for “credit” but leave it at the SW station for our regular carrier to deliver it on Monday. Our former carrier Diana used to tell us they simply don’t want to work
and was reprimanded to bringing it up with her supervisor.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">When your package is marked as delivered, they are supposed to wait until they are on your block or at your house before marking it as delivered. They use GPS tracking to show where the carrier is when they mark it as delivered. Until
I was tagged as someone who complained each time we had a missed delivery, the USPS supervisor would look this up and tell me they where not in my area when they marked it as delivered and would apologize.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This also happens when we have a temp, although they usually make it closer to our house but the USPS rules state they are not to work past 8:30 at night. We have seen the carrier close to home at 8:15 some nights but never get our mail
until the next day or when our standard carrier is back. They are told to pack it up and call it a day out of safety and security concerns. I get it and don’t fault them. I do fault them when they do this and are on the 1100 block of East Capitol and they
mark our package as delivered when they know they won’t make it to our house that night.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My advice, pick your battles carefully and call the SW office to complain when you are really upset. Otherwise they put you on a do not answer list when it appears on caller ID. I was able to get around this by using my google voice number
so I know that’s what they do. <o:p></o:p></p>
