Delivery confirmation problems?

[daiseyfreak]

anyone ever had problems with delivery confirmation, they said it was delivered and it wasn't? They said my PTI order was delivered Friday....ummmm....no, it wasn't.....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've emailed PTI, so I'm hoping something can be worked out, I don't want all that money going down the drain for nothing......and I really was looking forward to this order :(

UPS or USPS? I'd contact the carrier and ask them for details.

The post office has done that to me a few times. The carrier signed the package out, then didn't make his or her entire run and left the box in the truck. I get it the next day.

That happens to me all the time. What happens here is that the package gets delivered to the post office and they record it as "delivered" BUT the post office doesn't deliver my mail, they use a contract higher, so it's delivered to me when the contract hire gets it and delivers it. Usually takes a day or 2 after the tracking says it's delivered.

I have never had the situation that either of the previous people has said, but when asking my post office about it (I live in a large city where they don't have contractors and such), if you ask about delivery confirmation --they will just shrug and say, it's not a guarantee, only a simple notification and does not mean that it was delivered or verified that it made it to the hands of the person you specified. If you need the guarantee, then you need to pay the certified mail expense and if you want it guaranteed and verifiable, you must pay certified with a reciept.

It's pretty sad. It's basically a very loose confirmation that it was delivered. but if it is never scanned it, then the post office will do nothing. If it is delivered but delivered and damaged (i.e. one time I got a box that was delivered to me, but busted open and half the stuff fell out!! but the seller had his receipt and confirmation!!) One time I mailed a package and it just was never a confirmed delivery.

It's frustrating if you don't get the right answer and double frustrating when they say they sent it and you don't have it. If you know your neighbors, maybe try checking some of them...

Sorry it didn't show :(
I really hope one of the other people's responses is correct and it shows up on your door!
