Post Office Funn/a

A few years back, I sent a package to New York from Sweden and it was stuck in Honolulu for quite some time. It eventually, much later, found its way to the recipient with a bunch of odd stickers plastered all over it. >.>

I hope you'll get your package soon.

Well, the word Alaska looks just like the word Hawaii, right?

/USPS logic

You'll just get a completely unhelpful response from your local post office with the customer service email. If you call and complain they still won't do anything unless the sender of the package requests an investigation. So you'll need to contact the seller and ask him/her to put in an investigation request. I know all this as I've went through it waiting for my Luka figure to come in. She's been in customs for nearly 18 days now.

USPS being shitty as usual; I've had this happen to me more than once. Sadly, even if you do get a response, it'll just be ~*oh yes, I see your package is in Hawaii, but nothing can be done except wait, I have no idea how this happened, your package will arrive soon*~ because no USPS employee gives a flying fuck about anything that goes on. They seem to be incapable of contacting other offices and there is no accountability whatsoever. I am eternally mad, www.
I don't doubt that you will get your package, though.

I've been having loads of problems with USPS as well. It turns out that the government is cutting their funding like crazy (the GOP wants to eliminate them completely), so their quality of service has been drastically reduced as a result. They don't even try to redeliver to me anymore.

Yeah, calling is the fastest way to get a response. Keep bugging your local office about it as well. I got a personal call from them after I complained to my local post office.

WTH? I would call and complain rather than email. I've had my issues with Canada Post and lack of staff training, for a service they provided. needless to say I got my money back AND free re-directing of my mail. I have a club postal rae so if you want you can complain there too :3 I feel it is good to vent once in a while.

It could just be in transit, and maybe the tracking won't be updated for a while? I think SAL or one of the other lower shipping services might work like that - they might not've shipped it out under the fastest thing/be waiting till they have a flight to you? I can't imagine they'd send a plane if that's the only thing going up that way though...

Good to see USPS still being worthless even in their own country.

Try giving USPS a call when they're open. I've had packages forwarded to wrong places multiple times and surprisingly a phone call did wonders. It's also nice knowing which post office your packages goto before they goto your home (zip code wise) They have live tracking which updates faster than their web interface.

Forwarded and missent generally mean the package was sent to the wrong facility and they realized it and are working to correct it. Unfortunately, yeah, it's quite a ways away, so it'll take time.

At least you know where it is, you'd feel much worse if you didn't have track number. Stupid mistake of them but it'll eventually come to you. Time is nothing, I wait for my packages 35-40 days from Japan to Russia but the most important thing they arrive. And calling or writing to our post service doesn't make much effect on them usually :) Good luck with your package, I hope it'll arrive safe.
