Parcels Being Pulled, Sending Back To Mailer

I have an approval selection mailed two weeks ago from a dealer in Arizona, he emailed me a week ago telling me he got a notice that I no longer live at my address so they pulled and cancelled delivery. I checked and postal people denied this so he remailed to me, same result, I spent much of this weekend talking to postal people;my God what a waste of time! Nobody is following this. Whomever moved it wasn't me but they think it was. I have other mailings coming in next week will they be delivered?

I tried to file a claim for this accidental action, got lost in the internet.

Can someone clue me what to do here, thanks!.

Sounds like some Joker ,went to the post office and filled out a change of address card and submitted it . The giant computer in Wash. D.C . processed it .

Go to your postoffice and fill out the new change card and let that cancel out the Jokers card .

Plus stop talking to humans your dealing with a machine .......submitt a change of address card to the machine .

'Sounds like some joker went to the Post Office'

If true it just hit me, the joker here may be a former friend who cut me off over political differences, it'd be just like him.my current address as the last one then refile also using that address?

I will do that tomorrow, will see if it works, thanks!

My first thought was there is a difference between "no longer live at my address" and what would be on a typical change of address form, which would usually have a forwarding address, etc.

Reading later comments, my second thought was that fraudulently submitting a change of address for someone else is likely a federal offense - messing with someone else's mail (without proper power of attorney, etc.) - especially as ballots are being mailed out in many states. The joke could be on him.

I had to do a change of address form for my mother recently. The PO sent a notice to the old address basically saying we got a change of address notice for you, call this number immediately if you did not make the request.

could just be a random error - I was at a show once and a collector was showing Eric Jackson a piece of mail that he had sent to Eric and it was returned to the collector by the post office with a marking along the lines of prisoner no longer at this correctional institution.

John,

Yes I agree this smells like election interference. You file a change of address telling
USPS I'm vanished, just when absentee ballots are going out. I may contact local party officals re this.

I would leave it with the postal service & postal inspectors as the ones who have the knoweledge and authority. THEN if something turns up, it can expand within their realm as needed. Otherwise it is "crying wolf" without real evidence or proof.

You don't state clearly, if are you getting the rest of your normal mail or has it ALL stopped? A change of address would impact everything. I would also be tempted to coordinate with a friend/neighbor to send a small test package or letter and see if it comes through or gets returned to them.

And honestly, a considerable amount of returned mail gets labeled with the wrong reason. "just slap any old label on it." Unless you have an image of the mail piece, there may not be much else even the postal folks can do. And inquiries may have to be done from the sender's end, rather than yours. Good luck!

you might want to confirm your voting status. Change of address may be followed up with a notice to municipal officials for tax or voting purposes. Also, if a mailer requests 'address correction' some of your mail may be going to the 'new' address. Contact local Postal Inspection Service as they can do a track on the change request & maybe get it resolved quicker. (I think the USPSIS can prosecute this under unauthorized mail delay?)

There are 5 mailboxes across the street from me. On Monday the Letter Carrier had 6 pieces of mail for the 5 mailboxes. She was completely unable to put any of the 6 pieces in the correct mailbox. What does that say about the USPS.

It sounds funny, but its actually not a laughing matter. Many individuals still depend on this method for bills and important items.

Who hired them, and did they give the employee he proper background training? Was the person a temp hired to fill the spot of ill or vacationing employees and not givin any training on what and how to do it and just shown the route? Or were all the letters they had readdressed too? Did someone use the whole postal code data in your area for nefarious reasons?

Not to get too political, but for the last many years, cost cutting has been the priority at the USPS over quality of service and speed of delivery.

In defense of the letter carriers, it would help greatly if everyone on the street had their house address or apartment number clearly marked near their front door or mailbox. On my street, that is not always the case. Sometimes if one house gets no mail that day (call it house #3), then house #3 gets the mail for house #4, and house #4 gets the mail for house #5, and so on, until the carrier notices the mistake, but by that point it is too late, the mail is already delivered through the slot in the door and un-retrievable. It's one way to get to know your neighbors pretty well when you exchange the letters you received that day.

It's not just the USPS. One time my neighbor across the street and I both got an Amazon delivery the same day. Their package was on my doorstep, and my package was on theirs.

It happens to us where our mail or we get mail to the neighbors. An Amazon package was delivered next door and the image of delivery helped me figure out where it was delivered.

That's right! I remember now, I got the "delivered" image from Amazon and I said, "that's not my doormat, that's not my porch."

And then there's door dash. My neighbor got the "delivered" notice but no delivery. She went walking up and down the street looking for her food, and found it a few doors down. Seems the driver might have had dyslexia or something.

To the OP, have you tried sending yourself a certified letter, with a friend or office as the return address, and see what happens? I know it's expensive, but better than missing your mail.

About the 5 mailboxes. All 5 mailboxes have a very clear street number on them. When you open the Mailbox door on the inside if the door is the name of the occupants and the street number.
If you can read you should no problem getting the mail in the correct box.

That is not a sure thing with recent push for DEI hires. Additionally reading ability may not include English or exclude severe cases of dyslexia.
