What is the definition of "delivery confirmation"? The USPS (United States Post Office Service) offers a delivery confirmation service to those people who send out packages. That way you as the sender knows that your package has been delivered. So you think ... but I just found out, that's not always the case. Delivery confirmation is not confirming that the package was delivered to the shipping address ... nope. It is confirmation that your package made it from the post office from which you sent from to the post office of the closest to the recipient. WTH?
I placed an order for some goods this past Tuesday. The items were shipped on Wednesday. When I looked up the shipping information from the shipper on the USPS website the delivery confirmation indicated that the item was delivered on Friday morning. Therefore I call my UPS store where my mailbox is and they have not received the package yet. I went on Friday afternoon ... nope no package. I went again this morning and no package ... again. The post office delivery person was there and I asked her what's going on. She told me that the information on the website indicates that the package was received at my local post office, NOT the shipping address. What is that? Why would someone pay extra for that? I do not think that is the true definition of delivery confirmation. What if the package never shows up? I can't go back to the shipper. They'll say, well the package was delivered. It's out of their hands. I'm up sh1t creek ... no items that I paid for. Personally I think this whole idea of delivery confirmation is bullsh1t. It's just a way to collect money to offer a service that screws over recipients like me. Well sigh, all I know is that I better get my package or I'll seriously b1tch someone out.
