Surreal postal nightmare! I'm out $90.00!

T i don't think you sound petty at all. We all work hard for our money. The post office needs to be held accountable. And if they have a thief working they need to find out what happened. It is inexcusable for them to just say oh well it was delivered. Like you said earlier, you have been there 10 years so someone can account for your honesty. I would continue to stay on them till something is answered.

Thanks for everyone's support
I have yet to hear anything, especially the USPS complaint dept.

More updates when I get them.

Update!!

I was told Sat that Monday, someone was gonna open all the lockers. Then that became Tue. It never happened.
In the meantime, the one fella I deal with a lot, was checking off lockers on a slip of paper as they become open by people getting the packages.
I do commend him for at least doing something!

I had waited until Tuesday and no word from anyone on my complaint!
Called my po, phone was busy for over an hour. Called the 800, system was down. About ready to scream, but no one was listening.
Made another call and was given a number to Consumer Affairs. After some phone tag, I talked to the person I needed to. They couldn't get a call thru either, still busy. So they sent them an email!! OMG, after all this, only to have an email sent to call me!
Well, I tried OIG, missed live operators time. So call back Wed.

So Wed I call the po just to check and talked to the fella at the counter.

Package was RECOVERED by the honest person that took it to the counter, because it wasn't hers!!

Turns out they put the key 3 boxes below mine.

So, in reality, the po and complaint hotlines, did zilch!!

I did get that call from the postmaster after all was said and done
Apologies, yadda, yadda.

Figuring I'd never see this camera, I won another and it's on the way.
So, as long as that one arrives, I'll have my share of Canon G5's!
One of them might be a B-Day present for the S/O, but it might be too much camera. We'll see.....

Happy ending...for the most part!

Thanks everyone for listening

I love a happy ending.

That is great news. Thank goodness there are still honest people out there.

[mego maniac mark]

As I had originally predicted, an honest mistake would be righted.
Glad to hear, just took a little longer than I expected.

[palitoy]

Congrats T, it's nice to know there are still honest people out there.

[sprytel]

I hate that you had to go through such an ordeal, but very relieved to hear it worked out in the end.

[mikeoz]

I'm happy it worked out for you. I truly believe the majority of the people out there are honest.

Well done T. You lucked out!
I've had some computer recording gear stolen from the USPS and never got reimbursed. All I got back was the label of the wrapping that was found at the USPS sorting facility in SoCal. They said they couldn't do anything about it when it was obvious someone broke into the box and ripped the label and left it.
Good to see you had a cathartic happy ending. Looking forward to some killer photos from that camera!
