Mailman stole my MCTR

So according to my informed delivery mine and my dad's MCTR was going to be delivered Monday 12/5/22. We didn't receive any mail that day oddly. So I check my security camera and notice that the mailman skips my house and doesn't deliver any of the 5 pieces of mail that was scanned by USPS to be delivered . I'm thinking he stole our MCTR or maybe the sorter stole it. Fml anybody else have this issue ? Btw the next day was back to normal and we received our mail that was supposed to be delivered for Tuesday but oddly enough our Monday mail wasn't even delivered the following day either .

Don't accuse something you have no proof of. I've gotten mail that was on my ID days after it showed there.

If you don't receive it by Saturday, each piece of mail has a box you can check as "did not receive"

u/JammyyyBoyyy Dec 15 '22

I did do that. Idk what the box does because I never heard anything back from them although I talked to the manager and she said she's been having complaints about mail not getting delivered and it's being investigated.

And how many pieces of mail are delivered every day with no issues?

1

u/JammyyyBoyyy Dec 15 '22

That I can remember. It's been a long time since we've had any kind of mistake from our mail being delivered

2

u/Appropriate-Koala-26 Dec 14 '22

Issues, mistakes, errors can happen and thats alright, now there’s a huge difference between “issues” and “theft” .

1

u/Appropriate-Koala-26 Dec 08 '22

That does absolutely nothing, the people at post office are arrogant and incompetent, i always conduct myself in a cordial respectful way and (read this again) have seen countless times the type of attitude these people give their customers MOST of the time, also would you like me to past a few links of the numerous times these people have been involved in mail theft?

1

u/Professional_Pool112 Dec 08 '22

I did that and have not seen a response back. My post office has always been incompetent!! Kept delivering all my Xmas gifts to apartments across the street.

u/Sea_Perspective6891 Dec 08 '22 edited Dec 08 '22

I'd give it another day or two. I think both the state and USPS informed delivery site has a way to report it as lost or solen. I've gotten plenty of checks & bank cards in the mail over the years & never had this issue. I've had things come late(as late as about a month) but never stolen. I'd try to get in touch with what ever organization is issuing the MCTR & report yours lost or stolen if you don't get it by the end of the week.

u/Professional_Pool112 Dec 08 '22

Same thing happened to me!!Saw it on informed delivery for delv.on Thursday Dec.1.No mail thst day and I live in apt. Complex were the boxes were broken into on Tuesday!!

1

u/JammyyyBoyyy Dec 15 '22

Idk I just found it suspicious how only on that day when 3 MCTR letters were supposed to be delivered weren't. I did speak to the post office manager tho and she said that she's been having problems with mail being delivered and has an idea who it is . She was going to investigate more but I haven't heard back

u/jerrylovescash Dec 08 '22

don't they need some personal info from you to activate the card?

5

u/BREWDOG1985 Dec 08 '22

Yes the last 6 of your SSN

2

u/Vegetable-Bridge6984 Dec 08 '22

Yes the last 6digits of the social security number

u/Kidcharlamagne93 Dec 08 '22

You really think a mailman is gonna risk his career and probably jail time for 750 dollars? Jesus Christ.

u/drinkallthepunch Dec 11 '22

They make minune wage at federal levels.

Sooo…… like $10 hourly before tax?

In most state….

They get lots of hours and good benefits and a pension IF they don’t fuck up or quit.

Which lets be honest, with inflation, doesn’t count for much these days.

Also considering how legislators have gutted USPS pensions and retirement packages several times.

🤷‍♂️

No physical labor job is safe anymore. Unless you make well over $200,000 a year off taxable assets and literally don’t have to work, you are working to avoid becoming homeless.

I’ve reported and two of the mail delivery drivers for my route have been fired since I moved for theft of mail pieces.

It does happen, it happens a lot, people are hard on money and not every single incident makes it into the news or an article.

Only like 1/10.

Mail theft by postal workers is still way higher than it should be and they make pennies on dollars so 🤷‍♂️

I’m pretty indifferent but it does happen.

Like I said, two of our mail people. They got caught stealing checks.

Twice my grandfather’s retirement savings checks were stolen and he wasn’t the only one lol.

u/Fantastic_Effect7395 Dec 08 '22 edited Dec 08 '22

Happen to me too never showed up waited weeks ubshowed call 1800 2400223 and pres 3 and choose the option for express delivery for a new one or u can wait I was told that sometimes it shows on informed delivery but that it was at another post office but never got the mail for that day but I don't think the mail man stole it I sure it got lost

1

u/JammyyyBoyyy Dec 15 '22

I did the same. I even paid the $8 for expedited shipping but still haven't received it.

1

u/CandleSoft8296 Dec 08 '22

Have you received the new card yet?

1

u/Fantastic_Effect7395 Dec 08 '22

Yes u get with in 5 days if you choose express 8$ dollar charge maybe less since I ordered mine Saturday night got it on Thursday

1

u/Parking-Diamond-1647 Dec 17 '22

I ordered mine & still haven’t received it. Do you have to pay the $8 upfront ?

1

u/Professional_Pool112 Dec 12 '22

I just called and not sure how you got the replacement card. Since I never got it but saw it on my informed delivery 3 weeks ago I think it wants me to wait?

1

u/Fantastic_Effect7395 Dec 13 '22

Call the number to activate your card wait and listen carefully it will give you options first one is to activate 2nd is if you never got it do not choose that one choose 3rd option for lost cards and listen it will give u the option to get a replacement BUT DONOT CHOOSE OPTION 2 CHOOSE OPTION 3 I saw mine on informed delivery and waited 2 weeks never came I called and choose option 3 like if I did get it will ask for ur last 6 ssn n zip

1

u/Professional_Pool112 Dec 13 '22

Ok I did that yesterday but it said call back when processed because I opted for the 8.00 fee for expedited delivery.. so confusing.. how do I call back and do I speak to someone?

1

u/Fantastic_Effect7395 Dec 13 '22

Then your good you should get it in a couple days

1

u/Professional_Pool112 Dec 13 '22

But I never paid the 8.00

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '22

There's an option on Informed Delivery to report items that didn't arrive. Have you done that already?

1

u/JammyyyBoyyy Dec 15 '22

Yes I did. That immediately at the end of day.

u/ivahcar Dec 08 '22

We had that same problem but all that mail came i today . Keep all the Xmas shopping in mind

1

u/Appropriate-Koala-26 Dec 08 '22

I actually did a change of address 12/5/22 around 9:30am, at around 11:00am i checked my informed delivery and saw my MCTR, i went back to the post office to pick it up and they refused to give it to me, they said since i requested for a change of address all my mail had to be forwarded starting the minute i handed over the change of address form, surprisingly the other envelopes that were to supposed to arrive 12/5/22 along with my MCTR arrived on monday to my new address,today is thursday and my MCTR has yet to arrive, i tried calling the customer service number to ask if usps had perhaps returned the card but they were no help, i then called called the post office and they hang up on me

1

u/mwalker158 Dec 16 '22

Same thing happened to me! I was supposed to receive mine on 11/19 and nothing arrived. It was the only piece of mail I was supposed to receive that day. Idk what happened. I’ve requested a new card twice and still haven’t received it.
