Usps theft

Call USPS and file a claim, let them investigate. Did the person who mailed it declare a value at all? IF so, this will be the starting point for your payback, should USPS find that their driver goofed and delivered to the wrong place or person. If no value was declared, you're probably not getting much money back in the way of a claim payout.

Bottom line is that USPS has their own internal systems for handling problems of this nature. Stop blowing up your building looking for a spanish guy named Jose (and stop making racist assumptions like the guy is "pretending to not know english"), go through the proper channels. IF USPS doesn't turn anything up, that's when you go to local law enforcement.

I'll do that thank you, the only reason why I said about the speaking English part is when I introduced myself he looked at me dumb and asked him if he knew a "j jose" he just stared at me blankly and started speaking spanish and before I could say any more he shut the door on me, then not so long after my fiancé came over and apparently he talked to her about her dog. So that's only reason why I said what I said
 
I once had a USPS employee sign for and keep my DDC SnG, fortunately my front window looks right at the cluster box and I tracked his ass down in the adjacent neighborhood.. he coughed it up (slightly longer story) so im not quite in your situation. That being said, I did end up reporting him after he signed for a large package weeks later to save time on a delivery.

USPS did a pretty good job at getting information from me and investigating both occurrences. They ended up moving the employee out of my neighborhood to a different service area, i still see him from time to time in a different area. Although they did promise to give me an update and never did I was overall satisfied..
If you call USPS main line they will transfer you over to a postal inspector to handle the claim. They will be your best tool in getting compensated for your loss. The knife is gone, you'll never see it again so start planning how to accomplish obtaining compensation to buy another. If you want the email address of the postal inspector that helped me.. shoot me a PM.

I hope a short story about my incident helps a little.

You ask him a question and gives you Spanish talk, your fiancé goes over and they talk. I wouldn't trust that guy and would find out his name.

That's the only thing that really bugs me on the whole subject, I'm not even sure how to go about finding his name out, any suggestions?

That doesn't mean a thing. A lot of guys have used multiple names in different combinations. And never their true first and last name.

I would think usps would be asked for some sort of verification that is your address or even the right person, or is that wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking. I had a package delivered last week and while walking to my door caught post man. I signed and took my package. He never asked for anything. Anyone could have signed for it, like in your case.

This really sucks, your think they put this into place to prevent stuff like this.
 
if the u.s. postal inspector gets involved and they find the guy...man, is that guy toast. he will get a shorter sentence murdering someone than he will farking with the u.s. mail....no joke.
 
Does the carrier have access to the individual apartments? (In many complexes, they don't)
Have you checked at the rental office to see if somebody there signed for it?

There are signature options that require ID, and limit who can sign, but they aren't commonly used for knives (from what I've seen)

They have access to all are apartments to drop off packages, and yes I checked the rental office and they said no
 
Just to let the member's of this forum know: I'm am the person that, Sande5412, traded with. An FYI- before our trade was finalized, I insisted that we both ship our knives via, USPS priority flat rate box, with signature confirmation. I requested this, as a preventative measure, so that this type of situation wouldn't happen!

On Thursday of last week, I receive my end of the trade, & promptly informed Eric of this. I was totally happy on my end. I send him an email, letting him know this, & also asked if he would let me know as soon as my knife arrived, & if he was happy.

Yesterday, I received an email from Eric. He was happy that I liked his knife (an Emerson), but was wondering if I knew where my knife was. For the record: I took 3 cell phone pictures of the package, at the USPO, after the postal clerk put on the tracking & signature confirmation labels (so I have the actual pictures as record). I immediately checked the USPS tracking website, & learned that the packaged had actually been delivered & signed for, on March 23rd, at 11:46 a.m. by a J Jose. I remember immediately thinking: WHO THE F---k is J Jose??? :confused:

After receiving this very disconcerting news, I went through Eric & mines lengthy email archive (trust me- it was very long due to a severe concussion I received last week). Regardless- the shipping address that Eric provided me, is the address that I shipped my package to; the pictures confirm this. So I followed up, & send Eric 3 emails yesterday with the USPS link, pictures that I had previously sent him & a final email with my phone number...

Eric called me this afternoon. We had a nice chat (considering the circumstances), & there's no suspicion on either side- as this was not our doing. I mailed my package, under the impression that the USPS postal carrier, would be delivering this to the name, or another person who lives at the address on the package, not some person named, J Jose. Initially, I thought that perhaps J Jose was either a neighbor of Eric's, or a roommate- obviously, until Eric notified me that he had no idea who this person was, either did I.

Move ahead. Immediately after I got off the phone with Eric, I started a several text/PM correspondence with our very own USPS MVP, Monofletch. John, is up to speed as to the details/facts to this situation.

Here is the USPS tracking number link:
https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConf...1&text28777=&tLabels=2315+1670+0000+4163+0443

I'll be back in touch here tomorrow.

A question for Monofletch, or perhap's Esav: is there any accountability for a postal worker, that mistakenly lets a thief sign for a package, without verifying that the recipient, isn't the same person that this package was addressed to?

Thanks in advance, for any assistance that this forum's member's/Moderator's can provide.

I am neither Monofletch, nor Esav; but I'd guess not. The standard signature confirmation only requires that somebody sign...though I would guess that it shouldn't be so broad as to include some random person walking past as the carrier approached. As mentioned earlier, there are options that limit the signature to the recipient or his designee (which generally requires written experience, in my experience with other carriers).
