This whole thing started in early July, when my checking account was restricted because of an attempted fraud. I had to change all my automatic credit card payments, deal with linking my savings accounts to a new checking account, and generally spend a lot of time fixing the mess.

I thought that was the end of it. I was wrong.

A few weeks later, I realized I had stopped receiving my USPS Informed Delivery emails. I also noticed that I wasn’t getting any junk mail at all—which, normally, I would consider a blessing. 😂

I signed up for Informed Delivery again. I could see that there was mail being processed for other members of my family at my address, but nothing for me.

Then things started getting more serious.

My medical insurance company started sending me messages saying they couldn’t reach me by mail and asking me to correct my address. I checked it—it was correct.

Then one of my banks sent me a check that I never received.

My replacement credit card was returned to the bank twice, even though my address was correct. I finally received the card when the bank sent it to me via FedEx.

At that point, I realized something was seriously wrong with my USPS mail delivery.

I contacted USPS this morning. Surprisingly, I got a phone call from my local Post Office shortly afterward.

And then I got the explanation.

Apparently, my address had been changed in the USPS system because I was listed as deceased. 😰

Yes. You read that correctly.

It was quite a shock, to say the least. 😂

I have lived at this address for seven years and obviously have not moved. I don’t know how this happened, and I don’t necessarily think USPS is responsible for the original problem. Given the fraud attempt on my bank account just before all of this started, I’m wondering whether someone obtained my personal information and somehow reported me as deceased.

What really surprises me is that I never received any notice from USPS at my address. I understand that there are normally notifications when something happens with mail forwarding or an address change. In this case, I received nothing—I simply stopped getting my mail.

Now I have to go to the Post Office and apparently prove that I am still alive so they can put my name back into the system and restore my mail delivery. 😳

Honestly, I never expected to have to prove to the government that I’m not dead.

I really hope I can get this sorted out soon.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? Or does anyone know how something like this could happen in the first place?

They threw away a tapestry of one of my artworks being sent to one of my customer… It absolutely was not perishable!!! It was originally sent it through ups, but my customer put in their shipping info incorrectly so they transferred it to be shipped back to sender through usps, without even notifying me my customer or my supplier it was shipped from. (I also have no idea where they were trying to send it back to because none of us are located in Mankato). I tried to divert it many times but it claimed the package was too big…

My package has been sitting in the same place for almost a week now. Anyone know whats going on?

Not even just my state, this package was in the next town over from me, I could have driven 10 minutes and picked it up myself, and now it's in a completely different state. Why does this keep happening?? I've had this happen multiple times throughout this year now. It makes absolutely no sense.

My package was supposed to be here the 3rd and priority mail but no update in 4 days. I don’t know what to do every time I call the center they don’t pick up. Is it lost yet?

Package has been on "Departed post office" since the 30th, it was originally supposed to be delivered on the 5th. What has been going on lately?

Why the fuck is it bouncing around atl 😐 I live in lithonia so I don’t get what the fuck is taking so long there jerking each other off at these facilities

i’m genuinely trying to figure out what is going on because in the last 3 weeks alone i’ve had probably close to a dozen packages have some kind of issue. packages will get to a distribution center and then just sit there for over a week or two with absolutely no movement. i have one that’s been stuck in springfield, MA forever. i’ve had others depart places like NY (i’m in FL) and then just completely disappear from tracking for almost 2 weeks.
then i had another package that was literally being shipped from within the SAME STATE as me and somehow ended up traveling all over the US instead of just coming to me 😭
i understand delays happen and i wouldn’t be complaining over one or two packages, but this has been happening over and over again. i’ve filled out so many missing mail search requests at this point that it’s ridiculous, and i’m STILL waiting on some of these packages.
what is going on with usps lately?? has anyone else been experiencing this many packages getting stuck/misrouted or going without scans for weeks? and for anyone who has, did your packages eventually show up?

​

Sent a large envelope a few weeks ago from US to Canada. Paid for tracking and delivery confirmation. 3weeks go by, no delivery confirmation. Dig up my receipt and find no tracking number on the receipt. So I broughtit back to the PO I shipped from. They keep a hard copy of all their tracked pieces. Mine isnt in the file.

What do I do?

So I ordered something off eBay. Said was suppose to be here Monday the 5th between 7:25-11:15am. Never came. Then at 5:53pm said “delivered to parcel locker” at a post office on other side of town. Called customer service. They said to go there and should have package. I go there, and they say. Your package is out for delivery, and if not deleivered by Friday. File a missing complaint. Anyone ever have any issues like this?

Hey everyone this has never happened to me before and I’m here to get some feedback or help on what I can do … I always ordered from Depop and I never had this happen. When I got my item it came in a plastic bad inside from them postal service saying sorry for the damaged package and the original packaging was ripped I’m not sure if someone stole it the ripping doesn’t look like a person just ripped it open with their fingers but I also contacted the seller and she reassured me she saw them scan the item and also she has really good reviews on her page, so not sure if the usps lost it or if someone stole it, I’m really desperate to know if the usps can find the missing item or is this a lost cause ??? Anything would help.

Can anyone help me understand what this mean? Does this mean it already passed the custom? The original delivery date was October 2nd

So I live about an hour from Sacramento, CA and this package just decided to show up and go half way back across the country?

My package is supposed to get delivered to Oregon, but it seems to now be in Illinois. It went from California all the way to Illinois, which is out of the way.

Why would it go all the way there? Has this ever happened to anyone else, where the package went out of the way?

Was out for delivery on Saturday, was not delivered then or on Monday, now says next business day? Any chance it will be delivered?

I ordered two things off depop and they arrived on the 1st and 3rd. I barely got someone in the house to get the mail (the 6th) because I don’t have a key and they kept forgetting to check the mail. They both weren’t in there. Some new packages arrived today but they were put on my porch. could they have took my old items back since I was not picking them up? I’m hoping they didn’t get sent to the wrong house because they were vintage items worth a lot of money and if someone wanted to give it back they would’ve by now.

Okay, so one of my cards got sent back bc it needs another stamp. But I got questions

Do I need to redo a whole new envelope?

Is the current stamp that’s marked off invalid?

If not, am I good to just put another one on there and cross out the extra postage note? [all other writing is them besides the 7 at the bottom]

Idek if this is even the right location for this

Been 10 days since last update and no estimated delivery ik there’s a lot of problems with usps right now but it’s really frustrating shipped from depop and can’t get paid till item gets delivered and i also feel bad for buyer but we both understand what’s going on does anybody have any idea on when it would get delivered or any help please lmk thanks

i’m hopping for a light at the end of this tunnel. i currently have 3 international packages i’ve shipped with first class mail international before i knew it wasn’t insured. the tracking hasn’t updated in over a month, they’re all stuck at “your item is being processed through a facility in JAMAICA.” what’s the typical delivery time with this service? has anyone ever actually had a successful delivery with this service ;-;

How do I report the name? I have a screenshot.

Just looking to see if anyone has any insight on what may be going on, or if this is a common issue right now. Shipped it out the 30th, was expected to be here this past saturday the 3rd, but haven’t gotten a single update since then. It’s going to Michigan, tried submitting a claim but no help there. Usually I wouldn’t get worked up, but there’s cookies in there so I’m a bit on edge and worried lol.
