I'm frustrated. I have been waiting for 2 weeks to get my Very Important Everyday Minerals order. I was in the front room tidying up and saw the mailman go by my front lawn.

Not wanting to appear TOO eager, I waited a few minutes before running to the mailbox with baited breath to see if my order was here.

Nope, just a *We Missed You* tag saying to p/u the parcel tomorrow from the post office because we were not home.

Not so! I was here! There was no knock!

I have a suspicion that my letter carrier writes out these notices and never actually has the parcels but leaves them in his truck because he doesn't feel like hauling parcels on his route.

I'm calling the Postal Authorities. Ok...maybe not, but I am a little miffed!

Signing off my b-tch now. It does seem a tad petty now that I have re-read it...

I think you should call your postmaster and find out what the deal is with your carrier. I didn't think the USPS was making that much in budget cuts that they are now expecting customer to pick-up their own packages. I'd be majorly miffed too!

I hate that. My postman does that too, or he justs throws the package in the general direction of the front door.
I caught my fed ex guy doing this once. I saw the truck pull up outside and was waiting by the front door. Well, a "Sorry we missed you note" comes under the door, no knock or anything. So I open the door and he's standing there with empty hands waiting for the elevator. I asked "DO you have a package for me?" and he said "Oh, I'll have to go get it."
WTH? I still can't figure that one out. Don't Fed Ex guys get paid by the number of packages they deliver?
This is turning in to a hijack...I just wanted to offer my sympathy. I have spent way too much time waiting for packages lately.

Thanks for the support! Not that this is a serious bitch, I feel kind of bad even typing it because it really is petty, but oh well.

That would have been awesome to have caught him empty handed. If only I had opened the door right after he came and I could have ran across my grass, "Oh Mr. Postman, you-hoo, I'm here". I can picture it now...it would only have been made better if I was in fluffy slippers, a house-dress and rollers in my hair, chasing him down the sidewalk...

I think you should call to complain. I mean, you were there, and you know he didn't knock. His job is to try to see if he can get you the package, even if it means getting off his lazy butt!

It's happened to us several times (long winding driveway so the bigger ones he doesn't like carrying up to our door) and call me a witch but I call and complain EVERY SINGLE TIME. If only to have the postmaster realize that I complain to him AND the main USPS #. Hopefully it lights a fire under their butts.

It's happened to us several times (long winding driveway so the bigger ones he doesn't like carrying up to our door) and call me a witch but I call and complain EVERY SINGLE TIME. If only to have the postmaster realize that I complain to him AND the main USPS #. Hopefully it lights a fire under their butts.

I have had that happen before, quite a few times. Our postman now leaves things on my front porch regardless of whether I am here or not as long as it doesn't have to be signed for. Usually the "no show" packages and their "we missed you" slips appear when it is a substitute for the day. Very frustrating!!!

This happens to us consistently: I'm home on Fridays, and they've left a note. Most recently, I was expecting some plane tickets in the mail, and I *know* my mom was home all day, and again, sticky. I think this is pretty common, unfortunately.
If I had time to complain, I would. On the other hand, I don't want to PO my mail-person. Lose-lose, I say!

I've had this happen too, at Christmastime, no less. Just what I wanted to do, go stand in line with a preschooler for an hour...

I agree with a pp, this generally happens when we have a sub. My regular postman is all but just as interested as I am in the packages we receive. We get odd, large stuff (i.e. slalom waterski in a 6 foot box) and he is always curious when he brings it to the door! Being friendly with the regular has certainly paid off for us. He is very accomodating when we need it.

You're a fellow Cdn, right? I have found that the USPS is way better than Canada Post for reliable delivery - unless you make nice with the postman. My EM purchase (which was TINY, btw), came just over a week from when I ordered it.

DS was forever waving at ours, and once he got used to that, he would bring packages. At the IL's, however, or before we knew him at our old address, we get the pick-up slip every time.

Maybe you can corner your postman next time in advance of expecting something, so he both knows your on the lookout and that you're on to him...
