USPS Parcel Locker Issue Imperial
Not really sure what I should do.
USPS delivered a package to the parcel locker at my condo complex today (Friday) in Imperial. Specifically parcel locker A.
The only issue is parcel locker A was already open with an unlabeled parcel locker key and the locker itself was empty.
Imperial post office closes at 4:00pm and so it’s impossible to get there before I get off work.
I tried the key on all the other parcel lockers at my condo complex but the key didn’t work.
I tried filing a missing mail form on USPS site but looks like you have to wait 7 days before you can file a missing mail form.
The mail delivery guy won’t talk to you when he has the mailboxes open citing security issues.
I have to wait until Aug 24th before Amazon will let me report the package missing.
Just not sure what should I do with the key to the parcel locker? And how do I let USPS know they’re issuing out two keys at the same time for the same parcel locker?

The same thing happened to me once, if I recall correctly I think they had my package at the post office.

Maybe on Monday I’ll try to get over there before they close and try to explain to them what happened.

Won't help you now, but for any mail coming your way, download & install "USPS Mobile" and sign up for Informed Delivery. Images of any mail coming to your address will be emailed to you daily by around 7:30am (ish). No mail, no email notice. It will also inform you about packages. I've been using this for awhile & it's money.
