MY DC shows this;

 

Out for Delivery or Available at PO Box

That was from yesterday. What on earth does that mean. I called the PO and they said they'd call me back (which of course they didn't)

I don't have a card or anything saying it was delivered. Although it's been windy

The mail men are stupid. Go to the post office in person with the tracking number and ask them where it is. I have to do this 9/10 times when im waiting for a package and the end up delivering 6 mi across town to my dads house.

LOL it's never happened. I guess I'll just go to the post office tomorrow. I figured they cold've just put the package in my mail slot like they always do!

Yeah this happens with each and every one of my packages now.  It gets marked "Out for Delivery or Available at PO Box" then marked as delivered that evening and actually gets delivered the next day...  It's happened for the last 10 USPS items I got.  It's actually very misleading as the item is not delivered when it is marked as delivered so there would be no recourse if it actually never shows up the following day.  USPS stinks...

Well I guess I'll call tomorrow morning. Hopefully there is SOME update tomorrow. Today it said there was no update since yesterday and yesterday's update was the cryptic message above. I feel like i'm playing a Zelda game or something. "Out for delivery OR Availble at PO Box" Oh I should go talk to the dancing cow at the begging of the game! or something

Mine always says this if I have a yellow card in my PO Box (signifying a package).

This was part of the update they did to the tracking website a little while ago. They just reworded it to "out for delivery or available at p.o. box."

So the Post Office say's. It's probably on the truck and not yet delivered call us back if it doesn't show up tomorrow.

 

Oh wells..it's dumping snow so I probably won't get it for another year

yeah it seems that "On the truck for tomorrows delivery" = Delivered to USPS...  I guess it cuts back on the carriers having to scan each one as they deliver but still not correct.

Mine shows up 100% of the time the day after now once it's marked as delivered.  So for example I have one item marked as delivered yesterday, so I know it will show up in my mailbox today.  I tried to file a complaint with USPS but they ignored it.

This only seems to happen at my work addy though and they never leave a pink/orange slip.

It is seems to be that EVEN if the mail man has the game in his hands 2 days after it ships at  your door he won't put it in the box unless it's been like 4 days. Doesn't want to get us all expecting good service.

Well it's been 6 days since I got this message and still no package. USPS is clueless.

 

Then today I receive the SAME MOTHER Farkin message for 2 other games!!! If these don't arrive monday I might have to find a lawyer. Freaking morons at USPS. Seriously I don't know what the F the deal is.


This type of thing happened with gamefly and I wonder if it's just a complete moron postal worker. I would get games in 2 days with Game fly then after say 6 months it would start taking 14 days to get a game! Then it would go back to normal after maybe a month or two of this.


What actions should can I take? The post office doesn't understand the message they've apparently lost 1 of my games and 2 more have the same message which will probably end up lost as well considering the talent at my local USPS

 

 

EDIT: The two games came today via special USPS delivery (or the mailmen came by after hours for some reason) Anyways thats good. Still missing my 60 dollar copy of shift
