LOST OR MISSING PACKAGES
What happens if my package is not delivered?
Unfortunately this happens, here are a few things to do if your package shows delivered and you haven’t received it
-
Ask your neighbors: It is possible that the status was “delivered” and you never got anything. In this case, you need to start asking your neighbors if they’ve received any mail or packages for you, it is possible there was a confusion with the apt. or building number.
-
You should also ask your mail carrier about it; this may even be the first, obvious thing to do.
-
Contact your local USPS post office. Make sure you contact your LOCAL post office, and not the USPS hotline. Your local post office will be able to provide quicker, and better service. Ask who delivered the package, and ask for the details of that day's delivery. USPS is used to these questions, and will generally provide helpful information.
-
Another answer to a “delivered status” is mail theft. If you or your neighbors have door cameras, check your recordings. It is a common problem with mail in the United States and gets even worse during the holidays. So, if you think this is the case, it’s best to immediately report it to your local Post Office and the Police.
-
If the package still does not show up, please call USPS or file a claim online. #tracibautistaCOLOR/ treiCdesigns LLC cannot reimburse OR re-ship orders that were mis-delivered by the post office or stolen from a property. Thank you for understanding!
