Mail delivery problem
 

We moved to the villages two months ago before that we used to get our mail delivered by the same man for years now we use our mailbox center And three times already they have lost our Mail some of it important has anyone else experienced problems like this with them here in the villages

Oh yes everything was better where people came from . I haven’t lost anything for as long as I can remember and at 81 that’s a long time and just in villages I’ve moved 5 times

The problem may be with the change of address from your last residence

Lived here four years and have never had mail lost.

They have done a good job for us

we've had the same two folks sorting mail in our mail center for the past 3+ years....once and a while I may get a piece of my neighbor's mail...but it's usually junk mail that stuck together
...that said, we've gone 'green' with anything that's important...so it's basically catalogs and junk mail coming to us via USPS

It might just be the new norm usually I receive 2 medications from VA by mail had taken 3-5 days. My last request although processed waiting 12 days and have not received yet. Being positive maybe today.

We experienced a nightmare a few years back. Constantly getting mail of others, not receiving pension checks, a very long list of serious matters. Finally straightened out when the lady who presently works at our mail center started.

I noticed someone wrote a snarky reply to you about its always better "somewhere else where you came from". I was fortunate to have had the same experience, same carrier for many years, never the slightest problem. I was not familiar with "private" mail delivery when I moved here, the difference was pretty shocking in the lack of the professionalism we'd experienced previously. Just thankful it has improved. IF you don't mind the inconvenience, you can do as friends of our have done for years; rent a box at the actual post office nearest your village. You will have access 24/7 to your box and only USPS personnel will be handling your mail. Friends have done this for 8 years now, cost was very reasonable, and they receive their things at least a day before I receive same the same thing, always get Amazon packages on the date stated on the notice/receipt, etc.

Give it another month to straighten out, you may have poorly skilled or non professional employees working there.

Have you discussed with delivery person?

If that didnt work would have conversation at main post office with whoever is in charge of delivery

Hopefully it smooths out for you.


We have been very happy with our service. We have gotten to know the "carriers" over the years.



Good Luck.

We rented in Pinellas and we got mail and packages for another address in Pinellas. The mail carrier got the boxes mixed up often. We then moved to Charlotte. We get our mail but it is very slow in coming. I received a 2 day express letter after 10 days.

This is definitely an issue at times. Found a nice tip at Holidays helps. Also made a point of meeting the main person who does the mail at our boxes. These are not postal workers. They bid on the area. Weekends they may have their kids or a subcontractor sorting mail. Good luck.

We too have had problems. Several years ago in October we did not get any mail for days and were expecting some important mail. Our box is on the very bottom and difficult to see unless you nearly get on your knees. I found that tape had been placed covering our box. So I broke a hole through and placed a note that we were here. Then we went to the main post office and found that our mail was being returned marked “ no forwarding address”
Now we get mail that needs to go to a neighbor who has the same house number but on a different street. We also notice through the daily notification from “ Informed delivery” That some pieces that are to be delivered that day don’t arrive for 1-3 days later.

Mail can be iffy sometimes. Get your important stuff via email. USPS is a broken business model and had a deficit of $8.8 BILLION in 2019 and 13 years of consecutive losses. A great idea that is not working Any longer.

Can honostly say we have had very little problem with our mail delivery. I know one or two neighbors did when a new person started but it seems to have been straightened out. FYI we have been here 22 yrs..
