How many of you have been told something arrived and then found out it did not?

I sent something in May along with two other things. One of the 3 arrived. I kept checking this number I was told to call and they told me and so did someone else that two things out of the 3 arrived. I had someone check for me and was told now that there is no record of it arriving. This time I took a picture of the package and wrote the address on the registered slip myself and had to resend it and pay again but this time went to another post office and did not send how sent the other one. How many of you have been told that something arrived to find out later on it did not?

@caopaopao Actually this is the first time going to the States it happened to me. I go to a different post office now and it is farther for me and the other was close to home.

@Hannihar I guess someone kept the things and didn't send them. Is it possible?

@caopaopao I have no clue what happened but I know they were sent but one got lost in New York and never made it to the State it was suppose to and apparently the one I was told made it never arrived I am told now.

@caopaopao The sad thing is that I have not had problems with things going to the States from here and not arriving.This was the first time it happened to me. Here in Israel our mails is terrible things do not always get to destinations here. The post office was better at one time but now it is terrible.

@infatuatedbby I sent 3 things in the beginning of May and saw where it was going and with problems the post office would not help so had to call this number and she really was not much help. One thing arrived and the other two did not. The one that I had to resend was told it went to the wrong address and then went to the right one and someone else also told me it went to the right one. Now, I was told by the person that I asked to check for me that they have no record of it so had to resend again and pay again but this time I took pictures of the envelope and I wrote on the slip where it is going. There is a link that told me approximately when it will arrive. We have lots of holidays in September so not sure if that will delay it.

It happens. Not often thank goodness. There is room for error but worse case scenario would be the customer receives the package but lie and tell the sender it did not and try to get a second package free, or in another case, the delivery makes it's destination properly and on time but a next door neighbor steels it from the house. Best for the delivery guy to confirm that the customer's package in fact was placed at proper destination and have customer confirm it. In that case, packages have to be scheduled at a given time and location for confirmation.

@lookatdesktop That did not happen in my case. I followed the registered slips and they were both crazy but was told they did get one and the other I had to give someone their money back. This going to the States has never happened to me before. The one is lost and the other said no record of receiving it when I was told that it arrived.

@yoalldudes It was very frustrating and now I hope it gets it right this time. I will not be going to the post office that it happened to. That one is close to home and now I will go to another one on my scooter.
