USPS note

[ThirdEye]

I got a note from the USPS that they attempted to deliver a registered parcel but nobody was home. It is now at the post office and requires a signature. It could be my international package that I ordered 3 months ago. Other than that I'm not expecting a package. Is this normal or should I follow my instincts and not claim the package?

3 months seems like a long time... email ur source and check when he sent.... but if it was me, id go up there

Everyone's nightmare!

Ask your source if he sent it with a signature requirement. If he didn't, go to the post office, and see what the package looks like. If they bring out anything with foreign stamps, don't sign for it. But if he DID send it with a signature requirement, hell, it might be a gamble. It's odd that it took 3 months to get here, so it might have gotten tagged in customs. Be careful, and good luck!

I did not know USPS does international.



Sometimes court papers are served by the mailman, they require a signature and are sent registered...............

What other postal system do we have in the US? USPS are the only ones who handle "mail" no matter where it comes from.

Parcels are another story...(DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc.)

Global priority and Global Express Mail.

USPS does not operate internationally, but does require signatures on reg. and certified mail.

I work for the P.O. and know that if they're going to bust you for a package, they will do so by delivering it to you when you are home. We don't have inspectors at every branch office, or any branch office for that matter. They would have to phone either the cops or the inspectors, any situation would allow ample time to make your get-away. When we make busts, inspectors will take a postal delivery vehicle, use carrier uniforms (back-up not too far behind) and knock on your door. That's how it works. Once you sign, they swarm and nab you. But like I said, if it's a notice left, don sweat it, inspectors dont leave notices.....because it may make the recipient nervous.

3 months gives a lot of suspicious...personally i went to pick up my package at the postal office. I even signed up the paper.

Honestly, I didn't pay attention to the 3 month thing. But here's what you do.....call the P.O. and ask where it's from, dial 1-800-ask-usps and ask them to connect you to the office that delivers your mail (give them your zip code), then ask for the registered number on the package. You can then go to USPS.com and check where it is actually from, who it is from, when and where it was mailed. If it is foreign it is possible that it was caught up in customs, as a lot of packages do get tied up there for long lengths of time. If you want to skip the P.O. all together, call the company, they would have a record of the registered number, as registered letters and parcels are the most restricted form of delivery we have. Only the person who is named on the item is permitted to receive it, and must present ID when doing so, which makes it a very dangerous form of delivery for gear, especially foreign.

Oh, yeah....the USPS does operate internationally. You can send and receive packages from anywhere in the world. They require signatures on certified, express, registered, insured, and signature confirmation. The only one where the signature can be waived is on express, all the others mentioned must have a signature, and can be tracked by the number on the item by using USPS.com in the track and confirm section.
