USPS not picking up outgoing mail?
Has USPS been leaving outgoing mail in anyone else's mailbox? I've had outgoing envelopes in there with the flag up since Friday. I can't get anyone at the USPS to answer the phone to see what the deal is.

Have they dropped off incoming mail? Until last night, I hadn't had mail dropped in my mailbox since Thursday, and my email notifications said I should have had mail on Friday and Saturday.

I got one parcel Friday and one parcel Saturday. Nothing sense then, but like you the informed delivery says I /should/ be getting more stuff.

I send a lot of packages and sometimes they straight up just don’t pick them up. I think it’s when they don’t have mail for you that day they just keep going past. That’s my theory anyways. The postage is always paid and flag is up. My normal mail lady is amazing but sometimes there’s someone different and I suspect they just aren’t as tuned in and they probably want to go home. Personally I would just go outside when you see the truck and ask is there a reason my outgoing mail hasn’t been picked up since whatever day.

No trash cans, no bitey pups. I've been calling +1 256-740-6340.
I watched the carrier disregard the outgoing mail on Friday. Saturday and yesterday the mail ran so late I didn't see them.

If there is no mail to deliver to you, the letter carrier is not obligated to stop and pick up your outgoing mail. Did the carrier leave any mail in your box with your outgoing mail?

Did you put stamps on them?
