I haven’t gotten mail for a few days. Was expecting a package since Friday, two days later I get a notification that the package was delivered I went down to retrieve this package and there was no package, I checked with neighbors and mailbox and they don’t have it. Either it was stolen or not delivered or lost in the mail, the website to complete a package missing keeps crashing for me so this is my attempt

Have not received my mail in 5 days. We are having problems with our carrier. Does not deliver on a regular schedule. Most times she does not deliver on rainy days. Only delivers when she feels like it. Bills come late. This is the only carrier we ever had a problem with. I know the mail service is having trouble hiring carries. But I think we need a new carrier. The whole neighborhood is having the same trouble with her. No excuse for this issue. Please reply to this email.

I remember when I could set my watch for when the mail would arrive. Now, at least once a week, it comes after 7 pm, or not at all. Thursdays we used to get the fliers and coupons I use to shop. Now, sometimes they come, sometimes they don't, and sometimes they come after they have expired. WTF? I know I won't get a response cause the USPS doesn't care. Their union is too powerful. If the excuse has anything to do with covid, I call bullshit. If you are short letter carriers, HIRE MORE.

I have no problems with any mail I get from anywhere in the country, however… For almost a year, a monthly particular piece of mail that originates in Allentown (Hamilton blvd 18101), has been extraordinarily late to get delivered to Nazareth (18064) pa. 15-20 mins away. This month (august) it was post marked by Allentown on July 29. I am just receiving it on August 24! That’s almost a month to go about 15 miles! UNACCEPTABLE! Tried calling the local number at 18101 and guess who answers ever single time? That’s right… NO ONE! 18101 YOU ARE A DISGRACE! The elections over! Christmas is over! And so is Covid! Back to work! Sorry for the rant.

In the month of January an appointment from Social Security "was mailed" according to SS office. It is August 14th and still yet to receive this letter, thanks to this my benefits were terminated. I called the Allentown SS office yesterday and they said they mailed our 2 separate times a letter for me to sign for benefit reinstate and have not got either. Today Saturday it is 6:35 pm and not a mailman in sight all day. Family sent a check that shows on my informed delivery but with no mailman there's no check. Do you have a mailman out on Saturdays? Does anyone know? SMH. I understand covid but can ppl atleast be informed so we not all day at the window waiting on some that's not gonna come. Thank You.

When our regular postman after having to write because we did not get any mail for 3 weeks stated to deliver after the neighborhood complaints- here we go again- 5 packages all saying attempted to deliver but couldn’t access house either by obstruction to door. There is no obstruction to my door. So this is a lie! All 5 packages from 3 different companies said same thing! Why did we not get any mail again? I said again my porch is always open to the door itself, never had this lie used before! And it was all stated they tried before 8 pm ? Who delivers mail at 8 pm?! Tracking numbers as follows: 9361289755009044606912, 92748902711608543475478964, 92748902711608543475477912, 9400111108400364272496, 9400111899220611072267! I would like a clear and correct explanation or I am making another complaint to the Postmaster General

What is going on with the mail. I get mail maybe twice a week, outgoing mail for business sales is rarely picked up, two packages have been marked "out for delivery" for over a week and I still haven't received them. I have contacted the post office with the tracking information and get no response.

My outgoing mail ( bills that I need to pay ) has not been picked up from my mailbox for the past two days. I’m also not getting my mail delivered! What is wrong with the Allentown post office? Covid -19 is across the entire United States - so please stop using this as an excuse for the work not bring performed. If you don’t have enough employees , please hire more people ! The postal service in Lehigh county had really dropped the ball over the last six months. Disgraceful!

What is going on in Allentown? Does everyone have COVID? We have COVID here too but mail still is managing to get delivered with slight delays. I have gotten mail from all over the US sent through USPS within two weeks of mailing all throughout the month of December EXCEPT for this package stuck in Allentown. I have a package that was from Allentown on December 10 and has never left Allentown since that day. It is now January 5. That's almost a month in the United States postal system. This is not coming from another country. Did it fall off the conveyor belt somewhere? No one answers your phone and I've been calling continuously since 8am (it is now 2:25pm). I was in my post office in Michigan to complain about Allentown and there was another patron in there also looking for a package from - you guessed it - Allentown! What are the odds of that? Terrible terrible service. Fix this.

Dear Sir or Madam, MY service indicated my mail was on truck today and we did not receive. Can someone check on this please. Why doesn't anyone answer your phones? I have 2 other packages that have been at your facility for over 7 business days. Is management going to offer a solution or response?

Do I need to physically drive to this location to find out about my package that’s been sitting there for weeks? What a joke. My package never should have been sent to this facility in the first place, should have gone to the Lehigh Valley Distribution Center like every other package delivered to me near Scranton. Will never use USPS again if there is any other choice. It’s quicker right now for a package to arrive in the U.S. from China and clear customs than it is to get it to its location within the country after it clears customs and ends up with USPS.

My package was supposed to be delivered Dec 10. Where is it? Your on line form for missing packages will not submit. No one answers the phone at either Allentown or Coopersburg post office. Terrible service. This is a gifts for my grand daughters and I am terribly upset and disappointed, as it appears others below are too!

Same here, Tom Wojtowicz. My package was supposed to be here on the 9th of this month. No package yet and no updates about it. It's still sitting at their post office, when I need it tomorrow because it is a birthday gift. This post office is a joke!! Swing by and pick me up. I'm 68 miles from that post office.

Our mail isn’t delivered consistently. This week we received mail once. I was waiting for a package and checked the website and it said unable to deliver. Yet I even asked the mailman about the package. If it isn’t bad enough that mail doesn’t come until after 6 pm and has come as late as 8:30 pm. I tried to call the postmaster and no ones answers the phone. My confidence in the mail service is not really there anymore.

What is wrong with this Post Office ? I’ve been calling for three days straight and no answer. I let it ring at least 40 times each call. No answer. I’m looking for help in finding my Niece’s Manila envelope I sent to her from myself here in NJ. I sent it October 24 and she never received it and I never got it back to me. This would never happen in my city in NJ. Shame on this post office for not answering calls.

My ebay purchase said out for delivery on Saturday. The mail came at 2 PM but no package. I checked on USPS much later and they had the nerve to say they had no access to deliver the package and the business was closed. What a crock! It is not even a business. Seems these people put down any old reason for not delivery a person's mail. Really tired of it all.

I just had to sign for a priority mail delivery. I had to touch pen and device for this. I had to stand with 1 foot of carrier! Seriously, with the state of the world and this virus, should usps suspend this requirement of signatures. FedEx has done this!

these postal workers need to be retrained and learn how to read signs that clearly say DONT WALK ON GRASS but of course they don't care about others property and disregard their own safety walking on wet grass creating a path that come summer time will create a passage with bald spots on my front lawn. I have tried telling them not to walk on grass but they look at you with a blank stare like if you are talking to them in a language they don't understand . How do you get a hold of their post master ? I will file a complaint and sue them for damages come summer if this doesn't stop .. I work too hard to keep my home looking neat and clean to have some inconsiderate postal worker damage what I work really hard to maintain !

There is a large concern on my street that mail is getting delivered later and later.. On some days, nothing is delivered on our street. I am waiting for a time sensitive piece of mail and nothing was delivered on Saturday night 12/7/2019. We used to get our mail by mid day and it was accurately delivered. where is our mail for South Law St, Allentown pa 18103? and can you deliver in timely fashion instead of 7 , 8, or 9pm ? My mail to Harrisburg took 3 days. I am expecting mail from Harrisburg which was sent out to me 6 days ago. WHY HAVENT I RECEIVED IT YET!! and to top it off, the mail truck was up the street from me and he/she never got out to deliver mail this past Saturday 12/7/19. I literally waited outside to ask a question and he/she just parked there for a bit and left. This was between 830 and 9pm.

We have a regular postman. There is a sign on my door--BEWARE OF DOG. He is aware my 2 dogs are not friendly and continues to walk in front of my bay window after delivering the mail and knows they just want to attack. Today he came to my window & put his hand on it & my one dog was ready to go through the window. I am requesting the mailman is spoken to and addressed not to antagonize my dogs. We have told him they are not friendly. My address is 1779 S Idaho St Allentown 18103.

Don't even try and call to get a delivery issue corrected. I called the Allentown post offce and spoke to a very rude gentleman who told me I needed to call a national 1-800 number. My mother has been receiving a neighbors mail constantly for the last 2 months at her home. She's received their car registration, their bank statement and bills. She receives at least two pieces of their mail every week. The gentleman at the post office said nothing they can do. The city is too big to guaranty proper delivery of all mail. (Really now, this isn't an accident that happens once in awhile, it's every week. Someone obviously doesn't know how to do their job.) I tried calling the 800 # , the wait time was between 37 and 57 minutes. Who in their right mind is going to hold that long. Isn't it nice to know that when you have a cushy job that pays $60,000/year you don't need to be accurate or compassionate.

I just tried calling the #800 and got absolutely nowhere! I put a stop mail order for one week with re-delivery to start 11/26 and have not gotten any mail now for two days. I will have to try to spot my mail person when he/she is on my street to see what they would suggest. It is very frustrating not to be able to speak with a human when one is having a problem with receiving their mail.

Our mail delivery has been getting later and later, arriving well past 7:30 at night. Getting it at 5pm was bad enough, but became acceptable as it arrived at a consistent time. Now we never know when it will come. The entire neighborhood is concerned.
