This should be considered theft
It is
Let's do a class action lawsuit. Entire US population vs USPS
@@MochaZilla Can't unfortunately the government ironically is protected by the government
That's sheer evil.... What kind of "recovery center" goes around and sells OUR packages for profit ? What gives them the right ?!?!?
Nothing, but our inaction as people allows them to get away with it.
They are allowed to open packages in an attempt to find the proper owner by novice or correspondence. Items are filed by date and type. After several months, if there is no claim to the item, it is sold.
Lost? More like stolen!
I am convinced they have a special USPS x-ray app to scan the item so they can choose what to steal.
@@darthmal is that why they upgraded to these new "automatic fast sorters"?
Defund USPS!! I ordered a box spring through Amazon and USPS- instead of leaving it at my door- left a note in my mailbox saying mailbox was full??? When i contacted USPS they could not tel me where my package was, was supposed to receive a call from my local post office master and never did.. scalpers 👎
Learn to think. Dejoy got control of USPS and has a private company that competes. More like fire the heads that want to see it defunded and destroyed. Countries need mail systems that are not privatized
Definitely defund this screwed up stinking USPS.
Some mf is marking my packages as "addressee unknown," even though i consistently sent packages to the same P.O box and always received them prior. They talking about sending back to sender on tracking info, but it's still sitting there in the back?! Never received email or phone call about issue, so I think they planned some sketchy shit. Fyi, the items in my packages are essentials, and some even expensive.
When I called for my packages the kind lady told me some clerk is doing this (one who worked there for a long time), and she isn't supposed to. If I didn't call the companies I ordered from for their updates, I would have NEVER known. My shit would've been "lost," and 9/10 stolen by some bitch.
They don’t care I even get mad at Amazon for giving my stuff to the post office witch i hate 😡 will never trust them again
You can’t defund something you’re not funding. The post office is self supporting
how can it get lost? theres a fu cking label on the package with sender and receiver info...??!?!?!?!?!?1
The label "fell off" lol
My box got smushed
EXACTLY!!!! They are just stealing!! Businesses are hurting because of them!! They “lost” my package valued over 200 and my customer did a chargeback!! This is crazy
@@susieblanco2722 i know I sold a PS4 on eBay and now it says awaiting delivery scan I’m so mad 😡😡😡😤😤😤
@@AnythingLounge insane!!!
The USPS stole my package.
Only 594 Views? we need help to spread this Please.
Can they legally sell lost mail?
No.
Can they legally open other peoples mail?
No, its a Federal crime.
They could if it is safety concerns. Only the law enforcement can open it.
The Recovery Center is authorized to open undeliverable items in the attempt to find the owner.
I ordered a Patrick plush 6 months ago, it came from USA and got lost. Enjoy your new owner patrick
I see more and more businesses recommending that you not use USPS since they are so undependable.
Buying things on eBay almost always results in it being sent by usps. You have to avoid eBay entirely at this point. I have had five packages get lost since August 2022 and I’m looking at two more currently that are likely lost. Stick to FedEx and UPS if at all possible.
That is fucking horrendous
The USPS should be defunded if this crap continues.
Too bad they’re not “funded” by the government jackass😂😂
@@X1.7 Did you steal my package?
The USPS is not funded to begin with. It is completely dependent on its own sales and resides 0$ in funding
Somewhere in those boxes is a rubber ding dong.
🤣 good one, Chris 👍🏻
LOL!
I was thinking about anal plug.
Yes
How are you able to sale a package, after it is found, without even attempting to send it back to sender? Jeez!😠
This makes absolutely no sense the item has a tracking it has a return address Etc this is unacceptable
Breaking the law x10 you cant open someones mail let alone fucking sell it it should be sent back to the return adress if it cant get to to its destination super FUCKED
Items that have a return address do not go to the Recovery Center.
Those quilts look like they took forever to make and an enormous amount of effort. USPS stole my cousins package recently thats why im researching this but man i feel for her.
Yes, I’m upset for her.
This is deplorable behavior!
so how is it lost if my address is literally on the damned package
Stolen duh
I never received my international mail despite them saying there was no access first and then they said it was delivered, but I never got anything back. I've been contacting them everyday for a week and still nothing. there's got to be a way to legally make them accountable with all that sender/receiver information blatantly on packages.
When faced with a "lost package" inquiry, the default position for the USPS is that "it was scanned at the proper location and delivered". When pressed, they claim that the scan includes GPS coordinates. Yet, their own automated system to which complaints are directed advises that automated delivery notifications can be in error; how is that possible? Attempting to navigate the USPS automated theft reporting system is arduous and profoundly frustrating - especially for seniors and the disabled. When a perfunctory follow-up is required by an actual postal worker, the USPS never admits error or takes responsibility for a missing package, rather they go to the default excuse that the package must have been "stolen". Again, when pressed, they admit that the "missing package" may have been delivered to the house or business next door as the GPS scan is not as accurate as originally suggested. Truth be told, millions of "scanned" items go missing a year. In fact, the USPS itself claims that "there are as many as 1.7 million cases of mail thefts daily. Over a third (36%) of all Americans who deal with the postal service have once experienced a mail theft case." Even when one employs Registered Mail, where a return receipt is required and purchased insurance is intended to cover all losses, the USPS tracking system is often unable to track the exact location of a package en-route - this in spite of the fact that every way station is required to sign for and scan the package before storing it in a predesignated "secure" location. Lastly, the USPS reports: "For Priority Mail Express items not requiring a signature, a delivered scan event constitutes a valid delivery, and no indemnity for loss is paid." - thus the USPS has no incentive for, or interest in, pursuing a claim of a "missing package" as a "scan" is considered prima facia evidence of delivery.
This is the best explanation of the situation that USPS puts the American public through. Very insightful, thank you for this valuable information. The process of dealing with the USPS and other postal services is back breaking work, and I know of not a single person who hasn’t suffered losses at the hands of the USPS.
This is why they have to put quotes on "lost." Because if it was lost then how do they sell the items if it was lost. The lie detector test determines this is a LIE!
If they steal my packages, I can just waltz in and take something in return💚
We all can and should
This is messed up 😡
Why don’t they just send it back to the sender. This is bullshit
When is something gonna be done this is a scam im dealing with them right now and they can't find my package and it's been forever.You can't even trust the us postal service.They should be held responsible for all the lost items it should be insured!!
Thats so evil stealing peoples packages what there work hard for pure evil
I don't understand how the fuck they can't get the shit sued out of them
Two words: qualified immunity. It is truly one hell of a F'ed up system. Any and all US government workers such as police, these mail men, and much more have something called qualified immunity. Essentially it insulates them from being sued/charged or otherwise held accountable for any felonies they committed while on the job, such as theft in this mail recovery centers case, but also shooting innocent people in case of a cop for example. It is possible to have a judge declare their qualified immunity null and void, but there needs to be an insane and overbearing amount of direct , non circumstantial evidence in combination with a detailed document detailing the specific reasons for retracting their qualified immunity. I don't know 100% of the details, maybe try googling for more and more accurate info, but I am fairly certain this is the reason they have yet to be sued into oblivion.
Man man man, qualified immunity, it sure as f*** is one *HELL* of a _f***ing_ drug, dawg!
Its alright . TheLord knows Everything . On the Day of Judgement they( every Person Involved in this Will get Judged because I think alot of people are Involved in this Not just one Person).
This is a scam and a crime.
It could be dangerous for us? Maybe because after someone buys something you don’t give it to them and you sell it to someone else and you get both there monies. Yeah people would probably take down that sick facility
The USPS Regional facility in Sacramento CA just stole my package. The USPS customer service said “It never left Manchester NH” when the tracking clearly shows it left Manchester NH on April 4th and arrived at the Sacramento CA facility on April 8th and went missing from there. I’m about to make a ruckus! This is bullshit
Oh lord! PLEASE let my package get to where it's going 🙏🏿
I'm in Johannesburg, South Africa and I sent a book to Centralia Correctional Center in Illinois weeks ago! I don't know if the package is taking long because its international... but I really hope USPS doesn't lose it 😥
I will be heartbroken 💔
Lydee did your book get delivered to the person you sent it to? The reason I ask is I have known a few family members in jail and you can't send anything direct to a jail/prison. It has to come directly from the company. Thats what I was told when my son in law was in Texas jail and again when my son was in Missouri and Florida jail. Just curious if your person actually got to have it.
@@mariesmith599 My person got the book! It took 2 months because its was an international parcel but he got it! 🤗
Wtf?! How can they possibly lose THAT MUCH mail??
USPS IS THE WORST DELIVERY BRAND RIGHT NEXT TO FEDEX, because I was very disappointed because it said “carrier attempted to deliver your item.” AND I ORDERED IT FROM EBAY
How is this not considered theft. My package has stopped scanning for a week. This is a very important package. If I find out this has happened please believe I will be doing whatever it takes to f all their lives up
So you’re paying USPS to take items from you? Reverse eBay
Missing mail for over a month now, and possibly another package is now about to disappear
Same here..idk what else to do. I've filed complaints and lost mail inquiries. I have informed delivery which shows my checks and W2 forms were scanned
We bought expensive Wedding invitations for our daughter and placed stamps on envelopes and on the return RSVP Envelopes the post office lost all the invitations that we dropped in the post office mail slot. Not just one or two invitations every single one. I called and called and left several messages and we did not receive any callbacks or emails nothing to our search for where those Wedding invitations went to. The total cost we were left with was 500.00 for custom wedding invites with RSVP cards and envelopes including the postage which was roughly around 150.00. That was and is an expensive cost for my daughter's wedding. The USPS could care less about what it is doing to the public. I am so tired of the US postal asking for stamp price hikes when they offer such poor service.
Ughhh recently send something and she hasn't received it yet after 6 weeks. :( wonder if it's on here
USPS lost my package. It also was a quilt that I made for my grandson. He never received it even though they said it had arrive. I believe it was stolen. I spent weeks trying to recover it. I finally gave up and felt like a fool because I finally figured out that they had no intention of getting it back to me. USPS is a joke.
I got a notification that my item just got delivered. I even saw the truck pull away. I went to check and regular trash mail was there but not my item. I waited 2 days and nothing. I opened a case. A supervisor called 2 days later to basically tell me that my neighbors took my package, because there is NO WAY IN HELL that her contractor-carriers would steal a package.
not me wondering why its not there and says delivered but not even considering they stole it lmaoooo
Same happened to me.
Same happened to me last year. Post master suggested it was one of my neighbors. So I go door to door asking all of them. (Knowing it wasn't because I am the first to get my mail.. pretty much when or seconds after the drop off.... none of the neighbors were even home yet) PM says I'd have to file a complaint with the police against my neighbors before they could compensate me for it.
Imagine you buy someone else’s package on govdeals and it gets sent through USPS and gets lost, just to be sold again. Idk seems like a money harvesting scheme to me.
No incentive to doing the right thing
This happened when I sent my money to pay my medical bills two payments lost
This Should Be Illegal.
I feel like mail would be more reliable in developing countries at this point. Or one could say “other developing countries” and that’d probs be correct too
Good reporting either way. More of this
Government doing what it does best in my opinion.don’t see why anyone should be shocked.
All they do is steal from us.
Exactly
Got Robed By USPS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN ON JULY 2 I SEN A PAKEGE TO MY SON WHO US IN THE MARINES ABOUT 3000 dll worth of in one box about 60-70 pounds in electronics and clothing when it got to my son he just got 1 shirt 1 short and. halo lamp all the rest of the stuff supposedly got lost tried to get things done the right way some people may think its just stuff that can be recovered but it took more then 3 months and a lot of effort and sacrifices they tell me to file a missing mail claim usps makes more then 180 billion dlls a year out of us getting robed for service we don get i had documented all the stuff that i sent to my son with pictures and videos please help.
Pro tip, attach an address label on the inside of the package as well. Use a sturdy box, and seal it well. You can file a package search for missing items.
At least I get my money back from Amazon. I just hope who ever buys my VOKKA back posture corrector has a slouched back like me. Haha! I'll buy another anyway and will keep doing it until they get annoyed and I get my product.
Have anyone bought their own lost packages?
This is why I don’t trust usps
all they gotta do is rip the labels off. disgusting.
exactly what they don
And they don’t care about you or your stuff
I had a package that was 15 days late. I filled out a form for them to help me locate it and they told me to wait 8 more days.
😡 well i think there going to have to use ups I wouldn’t even think about mailing anything though them anymore
That's ridiculous! Doesn't everything get scanned into a system when it's shipped, so even if the label is torn or made "illegible" it can still get where it's going? I can't believe they're just allowed to open everyone's packages and sell things that get "lost".
You also gotta wonder what they do with packages containing cash or uh, less than legal items. Guessing those go right into someone's pocket, never to be seen again.
I used to like the post office just fine but this really pulls the curtain back.
You also have to feel bad for that poor lady who spend God who knows how many hours making those quilts, probably obsessing over every stitch, doing her best to get it as perfect as possible, only to have it get lost. Something like that can't be replaced and even though I'm not into quilts in the slightest, I have to admit that elephant one was pretty cool. Thousands of hours of making those, for nothing.
My package is cash, and USPS stole it! The tracking clearly said it arrived at the Sacramento CA facility on April 8th, and the worker there said “it never left Manchester NH”. I have the online tracking that clearly says it left the Manchester NH facility on April 4th. And arrived to Sacramento CA on the 8th. I’m so angry right now
What if we replace "lost" with 'stolen'?
So how does the stuff get out of the box
So whats the point of return address?...
They *OPENED* the packages. I didn’t see any boxes.
write the correct address of sender and receiver......
Double check the address
Triple check the address
and tape the barcode, NOT the edges of packaging slip
Y’all really wanted my jaehyun dollar keychain bestie come on bestie it was a dollar on wish
Sorry for laughing 😫
DANI Z At the USPS OFFICE IN NORTH HILLS CALIFORNIA 91343 NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED!!! I had a 1 of 1 painting coming up missing IMMEDIATELY AFTER I DROP IT OFF AT THEIR OFFICE! HOW DOES A PACKAGE 35 x 24 just VANISH??! NO TRACKING HAS UPDATED. NEVER MADE IT TO MISSIONS HILLS!
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a nail.
TLDR: Don’t order horse nails through USPS before going into battle
I think the word is… stealing!
Illinois & California Postal Services are forever losing packages.....
😮 WOW...they should be sued. USPS secret Black market stealing from customers packages. SMH😢😢😢
Crooks!
Thieves they stole and sold my guitar I sent to Florida I believe this is where my 3000.00 guitar was sold from after I paid them to ship it to Florida
I recently purchased a les paul from Reverb.com on November 20 and the seller shipped it out the very next day and immediately got the tracking system. I think because of Thanksgiving it got delayed as of the 25th but hasn't updated since then. Contacted the seller who contacted his USPS rep. It's been a couple of weeks now but still. Their excuse was "maybe it got on the wrong truck, because we're between Thanksgiving and Christmas and Covid-19."
USPS lost some of my packages and when I went to the post office to report it, the woman at the front counter said all she can do is ask the mailman/mailwoman that delivered it. USPS is a fucking joke.
my etsy order of a STICKER delivered from USPS never showed up.. 5 bucks wasted
My package from Japan is stuck on Pre-shipment and now I am worried. I’m supposed to get my package on April 2 or later by April 12. I see no change in tracking status. 😰
Yo thats wack
If the package could not go to the receiver it's supposed to be returned to sender automatically.
What dont you get about how can a package get delivered without an address, missing address label, or nothing inside the package to figure out who it goes to. Why dont you report on how much effort goes into looking for a valid address to deliver or return the mail!
I sent my son a small mailer with a couple items two weeks ago and he just never got it….wondering where it went….probably in one of these places
Of course not.. its looked as an income for them.. Plus, who is it auctioned off to?... They need to forced to store the items for 2 year before they can be sold after multiple attempts to deliver... or take away the money made from the items when their budget extensions are made.
The one about the quilts is so sad 😰😰😰😢😢😢
The media is woke
Typical
Mines was lost and is unbelievable experience horrible who is responsible for this 😡
Crap like this is on here, ow I think my kings robe is taken. Thank god the looters didn’t get my other crap
Biggest felony i have ever seen
Not ok
Look who is over the post offices a Republican I was comeing on here to see why the tracking is not updated and I see this it is so sad.
I guess my dress is there 🙄 They claimed to lost it.
SCAM AND A HUSTLE!!!! I was looking for a birthday package. 52 mins away by car, from where it was sent.. Yes! U guessed it LOST!

How much of that 11 Million goes in Donald Trump’s pocket?
And look at the woman, she is in tears over objects, she could have sent thank you cards
Do you work for the USPS? Did you steal my package?
@@lilithdekatzethethird1290 where did that come from? It’s just an observation, people go nuts over that next thing the want to get a hold of so it can collect dust in their house
5:40 she’s crying over an object, stop buying and shipping online, go to places In person to get them
Dude, she made a quilt for her relatives, she was not buying anything. She used the postal service because it is normally a trusted source of getting things to go places that would normally be a hassle to do yourself. How would you feel if you made your parents or other relatives something that you spend months on only to be sold off by the very company you trusted to bring it to them?
Do you work for the USPS? Did you steal our packages?
@@lilithdekatzethethird1290 sounds like it
not me watching this while waiting for an expensive custom plush toy all the way from Ukraine... :'D
It's called 'insurance'.... and if it's THAT valuable to you, don't go with USPS.
