south philly - Anyone not getting some of their mail delivered?

Submitted by PlaneTry4277 t3_zeddm0 in philadelphia

I'm missing mail that is supposed to be coming from my bank, DMV etc. It seems like I"m only getting 80% of my mail. Triple checked they're delivering to the correct address but it never arrives here. I've had times where I see my mail and others just thrown on the street. Anyone having crap experience with usps past couple months?

I live on Frankford Ave and this is a weekly battle. Someone is taking THE ENTIRE BLOCKS MAIL, and is putting it in ONE FUCKING MAILBOX.

Incompetent assholes working for the post office.

I’ve sometime gone multiple weeks without so much as junk mail.

Have you signed up for informed delivery? Every once in a while I don't get what they say I'm gonna get, but then it arrives a day or two later.

Also, sign up for paperless EVERYTHING.

Completely agree. I'm in south Philly too and haven't had the issue but informed delivery is great for that. Some days is a day behind but so far no major issues.

Says my apt is unavailble for informed delivery unfortunately. tried entering it in every which way. Its new construction behind the original building and made apartments out of it a "rear apt"

I have good luck with USPS usually but there was a stretch where they lost the key to the apartment or something (?) and so just left it on the stoop for some bozo to take, which was not cool. I also never put anything valuable in the blue boxes because people steal checks from those.

I gave USPS a fob to my building (I’m the access manager). They still ring the intercom or they just leave. When I go outside and talk to them, they’re waving the route keychain around and I can clearly see the fob.

Before we had access control, we used to have the main door key in a USPS keyed box that was inset in the wall. One of the mail people took it out of the box without telling us, so our front door key was just out and about without our knowledge.

We also don’t get our mail for days on end until I go there. It’s insane. We’re a commercial building full of businesses; we can’t afford to have our mail tied up because the person didn’t feel like waiting two seconds for the door to open.

It's definitely taking longer to get mail. I'm just now getting things that were postmarked over a month ago.
