So yesterday the postman delivered a package and as i am signing for it he mentions that I have been getting a lot of packages lately. Also, my wife had to pick up a package from the post office because we were not home at the time of delivery and the lady at the counter said she could not find one of the 2 packages. She then told my wife that if she wants it she needs to tell the supervisor to look for it. She also asked my wife what she was getting from India. My wife didn't answer.  It was the 6th package in about a month because I just wanted to order once and get it over with but I guess ordering in bulk is not a good idea. Am I being paranoid or should I worry?

 
honestly I would be soo nervous, but I feel if you where going to be in trouble you would have known it..

they at the delivery service are nosie by nature..if they ask just giggle and smile....and change subject like, wow...can you believe how hot it is today...phew..when will this heat wave be over...and then smile...not nervous just  nice kind smile

If you live in a small town where people are just nosy, like where I live, I would not worry about it. However, you may want to consider setting up a p.o box in another town. And if you're going to order in bulk actually order in bulk. As in one big big order. Especially since it appears as though you have established that this is a legit vendor. Good luck to you

 
In my opinion and as someone who has worked for the post office you have nothing to worry about.  I would say something like.. yes, I do spend a lot of time on ebay and smile!!  I had a package that was not delivered and Amazon showed it was mailed and when I went to the post office to inquire about it I was also told that the supervisor would have to look for it.  Normal procedure.  And of course what you are ordering from India?  Spices!!!

Suzie I will be coming to you with a question via pm. Sent a friend mail and didn't go well. Phone dying. Pm u later? Ty!

 
I would tell them that Ive been doing a lot of bidding on Ebay for Ethiopian Opals.  I used to win opals from India all the time.

 I know I would get antsy if the post office couldn't

find my mail that had my newest opal purchase!   I live in a small super nosy town, the post office

is the worst so I know how you feel.  Ive been paranoid about receiving before.  If I ask myself if I am receiving too often then I probably

need to slow down or find another way.  Good Luck

 
All great advice. And mostly reassuring. Thank you all. I was thinking that maybe the postman was just getting a little bit tired of going up my stairs. Haha and the lady at the post office well, just plain nosy. This is the last time I use this address. I do have a p.o box that I used last year but I thought I would mix it up. The staff at my p.o. Box location are cool compared to this other post office my package goes to when I'm not home to receive it. Thanks for the support!

 
Hey guys, just want to update you guys on my packages. I have been receiving them without any problem. Except for the fact that the post man seems to express a little bit of irritation, everything is ok. When he had me sign yesterday he said "you have more of these packages." This is the last time I use this address for sure! 

 
He really said that?

"more of these packages" for you or in general?

 
Sounds unprofessional to me. It would freak me out though and have me signing up for a PO box, no doubt.

I'd have really been tempted to say something snarky like "yes, am I putting you out having to deliver them?".

Sorry that your postman is an ass.

For me. Yeah that's why I am never using this address again.

You should use your address: That mail man is a Melba Toast...nothing else!!

USPS has a nice office for things like that (Compliance Dept.) in Manhattan...google it :-)

I did use my address but I live in an apartment and I usually use p.o box but I just wanted to mix it up. I will google that for sure, thanks.

This is exactly why I tip my mailman for Xmas and whatnot! Oh god, that would be nerve wracking! It's already the worst to go in and pickup a missed package.

On a tangent - I've seen my fair share of errors of all sorts from them, but I just got introduced to a new one.

Package ships out from IN.

Origin..

Procsess Eyesee...

Then bam

USPS Trackin is unavailable 4 this product 4 IN.

/default_huh.pngWut?

The previous information for my mailspotting had disappeared and replaced with just their wonderful phrase. Thankfully, I still have my texts that were sent to me so I can read those before bed to feel good. It's just like posts from way back that had similar problems, I guess it will just peek out when it isn't scared. I was half cracking up, wanting to yell at it "You are going the wrong way!!!"

The thing just arrived here and I guess I scared it off! Wish there were others that were going through this, but oh well, they never cease to amaze me.

Do you really tip the mailman? Wow, I never thought of that. Do you mind me asking how much. That sounds like a good idea.

@Meltheangel Ya! I like to go out if I see him coming down the street and just shoot the shit with him, cool guy, but is retiring next year :(.

I'm not rich for sure haha, but if it's Christmas or maybe something random like postman appreciation day I like to give him 20 bucks or maybe something corny like a best mailman mug!

I try and do the same, a bit for the garbagemen, but they don't do that great of a job : /.

But yeah, it has helped. Since we just talk, I'll ask him if I have a question about a package or vent about the sorting being slow. He will typically go out of his way and check - in fact he found one package just stuck in his truck once, right near the passenger side. I knew that it was mine right away :).

Just being appreciative of all the crap they have to do goes a long way.

well that sounds cool. I used to talk to the mailman that used to ho to my house growing up. I have only been living here for about 2 years so I guess I need to warm up to him. /default_smile.png

thanks again for the tip.

 
Okay, so I just checked tracking number on the last of my four packages I've been waiting for and it says "USPS Tracking is unavailable for this product for India" 

what the hell does that mean? I know for a fact one of them made it to my city. The same post office where the lady was giving me a hard time and asking me what I was receiving from India.

very concerned now. /default_sad.png

has anyone had this message on tracking?

 
blackfish said:
Yup, had all my previous info on it deleted, and only get that phrase for days now. Apparently it happened last year if you search the board.

I'm not too worried. Seems like they are doing maintenance or something. I've never seen it before this.

I would love to hear from someone who got their package. From what I have read, it most likely will just appear in your box... Though I would love confirmation from anyone.

I'll let you know if I get any change. My other one has just been 2 origins. Both been unchanged status for a week : /

thank you blackfish. I hope you are right on this. I will try to pm tonight if not tomorrow for sure because I'm getting up early tomorrow. Thanks again

 
Hi and a good evening to all,

I receive packages quite a bit as I am doing my Christmas shopping early and I have NEVER had one c/o from any person at the Post office, or Fed-x, ect..

Now, I'm wondering....hummmmmmm....should I be a tiny bit concerned if I receive bulk at first?

alley

 
If you are going to set a precedent, might as well do it right. Bulk can only be so much weight as far as this stuff is concerned. I think my 2k packs weigh 1.2 lb and often I estimate its accuracy by reading the carrier weight. 

Might as well mention now to be careful about mentioning the shippers names. Someone else will otherwise. Its a lot to remember and I often have to edit my comments. /default_wink.png Good luck.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
