USA] A few examples of USPS complete incompetence, and things you can do to get your packs asap that you might not known were possible..

Im crossposting this from an rc sub because some is even more important to you guys. Annnnddd I've read some absolutely retarded shit about usps on this sub

Example 1. Was expecting an order last month. Was tracking it, finally says out for delivery. Great right? Uh except it was out on delivery in the wrong zip code.. . i am xxx14. Well it left the xxx16 office, which is a city over. Obviously not getting it today. Wrong. Waited till the routes were over and called the po asked if they had my package. Sure enough they did. So instead of waiting another day, drove to that po and picked it up. Most routes are done by 2pm, most po'd open till 5. Once the mailman gets back he scans everything he didnt deliver. Bam. This won't work at a sort facility, but any normal office you can pick up your shit with id. Also safer imo, cuz day they were gonna do a controlled delivery, well if you just show up and grab it they have no time to prepare. Also post office agents or whatever never tell the local employees they are going to do it till the very last minute for securiry reasons. I've seen it done where they up at the po day of delivery and take it from there. Or they will leave a note saying you need to come get it. Well if there was never sig confirmation on the order, just kiss it goodbye or pray they deliver it the next day. In that case never pick something up. All plausible deniably gos out the window. Here is a story http://www.fox9.com/news/24182149-story If his packs weren't sig required, which I'm guessing they weren't, he should of never went to po. Play dumb. They weren't even in his name either, im guessing that's why they wanted him to come claim them.

Example 2. pack says delivered, it's not in your mailbox. This just happened to me today actually. Very large order too. Was obv freaked. 25g's + 5gs at like 400$+. substance i won't name, but this isn't something you want laying around. Time is of the essence on these. They mostly likely delivered it to te wrong addy. Well lots of people open mail that isnt theres, and in most cases with our type or packs they are either gonna keep it, throw it away, or call LE. This is something you don't wait to fix itself. Need to be extremly proactive in this situation. . Well, you can call your local po, say yo where my shit, and they actually have realtime gps tracking on all there vans. They also have radiio comms to them. Well he finds the stupid delivery lady dropped it off at 10x7 instead of 11x7. Well... Once i had the adress want about to wait for her to finally go back anf try to get it. Probably wouldnt redliver till morning anyway. Also don't want some nosy fuck opening a pack like that. So i flew over there, went up to front door and very nicely said my package was delivered here by mistake. Key here it to let them know you already know. Nice guy he handed it right over.

Example 3. You have friends, gf, family over etc. Or it isn't your place and you want your pack asap without anyone seeing it. Again, call po, say you are expecting a priority pack with a check in it and are trying to go out of town asap. Again if you're nice, he will locate driver, you can go find him on the street, show him id, get all your mail 2-3 hours early.

Example 4. Kinda same as last, but if you are SUPER inpatient, you can show up at the po right after sorting before the vans leave. Ask who has your route, chances are you will recognize them. Walk up and say i need my mail now, expecting a really important document. Bam they will hand it over as long as you have id. Its sweet getting a pack at 730am vs noon.

Example 5. Your are expecting a pack that requires sig confirm but you know you won't be there. Well you don't need there slip. Plain piece of paper, right name, addy , tracking number, say that you request it to be left and sign it. They then just scan that sig and will leave your pack. Also gives you some plausible deniability. If it was controlled delivery they wanna actually see you sign it. So If you ever try this method and they DONT leave it. Be very very wary. These are all things I've had to do, some more than once. Probably forgetting a few too. If you have any questions let me know. Oh btw express shit comes on a dif truck. Usually stair from sorting center and the guys route changes day to day and has more area to cover. So tracking them down can be a bitch. Better off just waiting for it. Also there express guys are the best of the best. Like 0.3% error rate vs 5-7% for the normal Schleps. I know allot of this cuz i have a close friend that's works

Good stuff here. Thanks. What's your perspective on Priority Express being "higher profile" and "riskier." I've heard that a lot, and it's clear that the most professional vendors (at least the most professional ones I've worked with) don't even want to be asked about it, let alone offering it as an option. So what's the real deal with Express? Why is it so much riskier? Personally, I avoid Express cuz I want to stay as low profile as possible, but you know - sometimes you just really want/need something and Express is sooo damn tempting! So what's the real deal here? Why is it risky for buyers, and why is it risky for vendors, and who is it riskier for?

This reads like an impatient heroin addict wrote it. If you seriously can't wait a few hours and have to bother your mailman to get your mail earlier than everyone else, you just might have a problem mate.

I appreciate the time put into this post. Few things i havent thought of lol. And a couple weeks ago i asked for my tracking on a pack that i ordered like 2 weeks beforehand and it turns out it was delivered 3 days after i ordered, but i was home everyday during mail time. So someone got a nice heroin surprise.

Thanks for this info. Most people are to paranoid to do most of this but im like u and have no problem going to the post office etc.

Great post. Some of this stuff should be in the sidebar/wiki.

If your pack is going to be set up with a controlled delivery then regular employees are not going to have access to it. Look up info on "Chain of Custody" to see why.

That should be "they start"

Think of the opsec concerns with this. If the pack gets flagged for CD, if you show ID to pick it up and had tracked it online, that would probably be enough evidence to get you arrested.

In the case of example 1, what would your defense be if they had surveillance of you picking something up?

I don't get it. So let's say the police want to do a CD. You get home, an envelope is in your mailbox, you take it inside and throw it on the table. They can barge in with a warrent and arrest you even if it isn't opened or if you were preparing to send it back the next morning? If you get home and it is in your mail at like 6pm because you get off a little late, they actually run up on people once inside, and arrest them even if it isn't opened?
