Post office Thief

Thanks for posting this. Best practice is to ALWAYS get a receipt even if it means standing in line.
 
Seems obvious (but maybe not, eh?), but what you really want is a receipt with a TRACKING NUMBER. Not all postal services include tracking... don't be cheap.

That is why I insist on using Paypal for PURCHASE and not FRIENDS when I sell on here. I use Paypal shipping with free tracking. I ship so much stuff I never even thought someone would steal my package. I set stuff on the counter at the PO all the time... NO MORE!!!
 
Just got a call from Opticsplanet. It appears that someone from the PO had actually set aside. They said possibly to steal it themselves. But it has been scanned now!!!

I have no idea how they did that, I never even told them where I dropped it.

Yayyyyy me. And I guess that guy was a nice guy after all. :)

That is the USPS for you. I cringe every time I send a package...….even with a tracing number
 
I recently had a return to Optics Planet. Their instructions said drop it at either USPS or Fedex and it would be returned. What I found out when I dropped it off at the PO is they hold it for Fedex to pick up and complete the return. So if and when I have a return to Optics Planet I will just drop it at FedEx.
 
I think several here didn't read the OP well and understand you left it with a usps employee.
Glad it worked out well.
Have a good day !

No I handed it to nice person in line. He apparently handed it to the USPS employee, and the PO dropped the ball.

Yes it appears it is really a Fedex so scan it at Fedex. Is good advice.

To their credit Opticsplanet kicked some butt here.
