Seems that issue with the carrier should be taken up with a higher office then the local postmaster. The one we have here is barely at her job and doesnt seem to help if she is. I think I would file a complaint or start with the postal inspector for that area or go up the ladder further. Tampering with mail is suppose to be a crime but seems this isnt the case anymore. I recall not to long ago a postal employee was caught dumping mail in a ravine as he wasnt wanting to deliver the amount of packages he was getting assigned daily....there were hundreds of packages. -

Thank you for your reply, and for your question. The reason behind my interest in this photo is that the photo holds so many questions. At least for me. The location, the date, the two stamps (INP and Pix Inc. with the name Capa), the strange Spanish paper clipping. I like to learn from items, and this photo looks like a real challenge. I hope that answers your question? And posting it on the Forum give us al a chance to share our views and knowledge. Best regards -

Seems this is a growing issue. Have had stuff just go off radar from major hubs like Chicago, Kansas City, St.Louis etc. One item I sent to Kansas took over 17 days ( sent priority 3 day flat rate) and was 8 hours at most away.... Tracking was useless as it just showed "traveling in the system". That's comforting. It had been scanned in the KC hub then just went off radar. No updates no further scans. Finally showed up. WHen tracking up dated it had went to Florida and back to KC.... grrrrr. Recently had a package that was a little over an hour from me take almost 6 days. I had asked the person if I can drive and pick it up as I'm 70 miles away...nope. Paranoid to meet a man I guess (woman seller). Would pay cash. Nope. Had to ship it. Granted It would have cost me more in fuel but I have seen how the postal system is working. Cost her more as I got the item for less and shipping included. So it went from her post office to Omaha which is 5 hours away in the opposite direction. No wonder the USPS is broke. Also shipping east has gotten problematic/ One item was going to Dayton Ohio area. I sent the tracking to the person. I signed in for tracking up dates. After couple weeks the guy asks if I have the tracking. I replied I sent it as I also sent the photo of the receipt and also a clickable link to view tracking. I asked if he had looked at the link or ran the number. Nope he never looked. Guess it my responsibility. I go and look. It showed in Transit after being scanned at the Des Moines hub. Then Hit Cincinnati and again said in transit. Then off the radar. This had been after 2 weeks. I keep looking and finally it shows up in a hub in Philadelphia. THen sits for 4 days then back to Columbus. From there to Indianapolis Indiana was west of the destination then to Dayton finally. I always try to ship in a box even a small item so the things dont get lost of fall through the system like padded envelopes. It may cost a bit more but its safer when these things go on extended vacations. The system is getting to be a joke and the cost going up are not in, line with the service anymore. Insurance is really worthless for the most part as you you have to jump through so much red tape and then its usually denied. -
