I was waiting for a certified letter for over a week—it was just a local delivery from one side of town to the other here in the States—and no mail carrier ever showed up. There's someone in my household home 24/7, so that's impossible, and I didn't even get a slip left in the box saying they tried...
It felt sketchy, so I headed down to the local USPS branch. The clerk checked her system and saw there was indeed a package waiting for me. She handed it over, but the envelope had this label on it:
NOTICE OF (😕😕)
REFUSED DELIVERY (😕😕)
RETURN TO Main Post Office 10000
🤷Does anyone have an explanation for what on earth happened there?
The clerk at the post office couldn't give me any concrete answers or explain why—she just said I caught it at the very last second, otherwise, it would have been sent back to the main regional hub tomorrow.👎👎
Maybe they switched your mail carrier and he couldn't find you or something... that actually happened to me once. I went a whole month without getting any mail just because they changed carriers, and since we're renters, my last name wasn't even on the mailbox—it was only on the apartment door itself. When I finally called the post office, it turned out it was "my fault," even though the carrier is supposed to bring packages right to your door, not just leave them by the curb!
