      Sorry- thats on us. Someone missed scans: probably several people.
      It is also possible that it was left in a piece of “ supposedly empty equipment”, which can sit on a dock or in a corner until someone needs it.
      Hopefully you get some movement soon on it.

      Is this a package you mailed to someone? (There are so many things it could be, but a suggestion.)
      If so check your local Post Office. It is possible it was returned to you for some reason and you never received a notice, and it is sitting at your PO.

    The tracking of the USPS is just a big joke. When they don't know the location of your package or they don't know when it will be delivered, they just use ambiguous terms like "in transit" or "processing" or my favorite, "late, but on it's way". These phrases really mean NOTHING and just aggravate customers. Media mail is the absolute WORST at this.

    • @nothingbutcardboard
      @nothingbutcardboard  Рік тому

      Sounds like the weather men, but I do agree with you. Media mail is the slowest cheapest way to send something- that is why it
      Is only cost a couple $s. It usually
      Travels by truck, so that is why it takes so long, and it only gets a scan when it gets to the sorting facility for standard mail. I have heard there are some big changes coming for all Parcels and how they are sorted later this year.

    I have a package that keeps going back and forth in my city 10 miles apart. Can the delivery driver purposely redirect the package to mess with me? I also buy and sell cards and had quite a few come bent in the last 6 months at least 10. I have to report it for insurance purposes. I don’t know if the delivery driver is mad because maybe they brought it to his attention that too many packages were damaged. What do you think? This has been happening more often now.

    • @nothingbutcardboard
      @nothingbutcardboard  3 місяці тому

      Anything is possible- your guy knows he could get in trouble if caught. ( but yes your carrier can scan your package missent or undeliverable and sent it back out. But again- he would get in a lot of trouble if he got caught, so it sounds like a sortation problem: your label could be smeared or partially missing, or you may have another label stuck to your package.
      I would have to see the tracking info to give you my opinion. Do not leave it on here.

      @@nothingbutcardboard I buy a lot of cards from Japan and for what ever reason those cards need to be signed for. I think my mail man didn’t like the fact that he had to walk towards the back of my apartments to deliver these cards. My only guess is he got mad because I would order lots of cards at the time so he had to walk to deliver them at least 2-3 times a week. A lot of my others that were left in the mailbox were starting to be bent more and more often. Some sellers from Japan use thin cardboard to protect the cards so it was easily bendable. Then I started noticing even just my regular mail being smashed into my mailbox. I had to file a claim every time these cards came bent to get my money back. Now my cards come bent still but only once in a while now not as much as it used to happen. It usually happens more with eBay plain white envelope since those are easiest to mess with. I’m sure they told him to be more careful but it’s still happening. Sometimes I think it just happens in transit since it probably passes threw a lot of hands but then I see how he leaves my mail smashed it makes me question if he’s doing it on purpose or not.

      Not sure what your situation is- the Post office is allowed to open mail: especially in the instance of people listing the mail piece as books/ media mail. ( the reason for this is people lie about what they are mailing to get a cheaper rate).
      If you are not getting packages that are listed as media mail/ bound printed matter or book rate, you could reach out the the Postal Inspection service if you think a postal employee is tampering with your mail.

      @nothingbutcardboard  2 місяці тому

      Not sure without seeing the tracking- it sounds like it was missent. If you had a package that was shipped from NY to NJ and it showed a scan in Cali, it had to have been missent. Cali is suppose to scan it something to “ kill the clock”- suppose to be a missent scan, sometimes they scan it forwarded. If this is the case, they will scan it and it will be processed and sent to NJ, just keep checking the tracking.

      No. Some times things get hung up in customs.
      You can also contact your Post Office and see if it is there- maybe they missed the scan or the notice got lost, and it is there waiting for you to pick it up. ( rare, but does happen- also, some international packages require a signature)
      Also- could mean the seller printed the label, but never actually mailed it: there should be a scan showing the PO is in possession of the card- or that it entered customs…( just should be a scan by the PO if they have received it.

    Hi, and thank you.

    • @nothingbutcardboard
      @nothingbutcardboard  Рік тому

      It would be odd that there have not been any scans in 5 days- even if the mail man missed the “picked up scan”- it should have gotten a scan when it went thru the machines.
      Just to double check, it is being mailed USPS not UPS? ( lots of auto store use UPS- because items are heavier) If it is Ground Advantage it could take 5 business days to get to you- if it is Priority Mail, it would be 2 or 3 days: only mentioning this, because it should get a scan when it reaches your PO.

    • @nothingbutcardboard
      @nothingbutcardboard  Рік тому

      Not sure what the question is.?
      Pitney Bowes is a meter machine for mailing things out- not sure what tracking you are asking about.
      If you purchased something that you are tracking it could be a few things: is this an ebay letter rate or package?
      Sometimes the seller does not print a label for a few days, and sometimes the seller will print a label and not mail it for a few days.
      So, USPS tracking and the amount of time it takes does not start until they have the package in their possession.
      Let me know if this helps?

    Thanks for all of your videos!
    Could I ask for some advice?
    I am starting a business that involves mailing 1 (rarely more) plastic card (exactly like a standard gift card/id card) through USPS.
    What is the cheapest way to mail these (locally) that includes any kind of information (certified mail, tracking, informed delivery, etc) that I can use in case a customer says that they have not received the mail. I do not want to require a signature, I just wanna have proof that it was either received by the office, or delivered to the house.
    Additional notes:
    The letters I would like to use are #6 3/4, the smaller, standard letter
    The card is held centered
    Weighs less than an ounce
    It can be bent fairly easily, but I'm not sure if its flexible enough
    I appreciate any help, and thank you, your videos have already been super helpful!

    • @nothingbutcardboard
      @nothingbutcardboard  Рік тому +1

      It depends on different variables.
      If you are mailing a lot- 500+ it may be cheaper to get a bulk mail account.
      If you are just mailing a few each month you have several options.
      It sounds like they could just go as a 1st class letter. ( if they are like an Amazon gift card- semi rigid and fit in your envelope)
      The tracking is the tricky part: to track a letter it would need to be certified mail and would require a signature.
      If you sent them as a spur/parcel it would depend on the zip code it is going to: they would run $4.75-$5.50. ( these could go in a padded or bubble mailer and would include tracking: the tracking would just be a scan when delivered and no signature is required.

      There have been a lot of these issues recently. The scans only happen when they get to the sorting center, so it is possible it will get a scan early in the morning and then Be out for delivery the same day.
