Anyone have a package show delivered but it's not in your mailbox? It has been a few days, not sure what to do or how to handle.

Call the office from where the carrier works out of. Perhaps, by mistake it went to the wrong house. I can throw a baseball to another 121 house from my front door so it can happen. If you know your neighbors, knocking on doors wont hurt either.

Definitely call and talk to your carrier. He or she is likely to remember the package and what he did with it.

Also, stupid question: Did you check your bushes, by the back door or side door, etc?

Also, reach out to your neighbors, check behind bushes near your door and behind fences on side yards (if you have a house). These are all things that have happened to our customers.

My $.02,
I have not used Bartertown in many years. Just started relooking at it today. My and my wife's experiences with the U.S.P.S. and it's tracking: If you have not received an item, but the U.S. Post Office states that it was delivered. In my opinion there are only two reasons for this:

#1. The U.S.P.S. delivered the package somewhere else and marked it as delivered. This has happened to both myself and my wife on several occasions. Each time we were lucky and the people who received our packages were kind enough to both inform us and the U.S.P.S. of their mistake. So, my wife and I have both decided that U.S.P.S. Tracking is usually a waste of good money.
I will say however, that many a time U.S.P.O. Dept. have damaged the mailing containers and the enclosed contents, or on one occasion my front screen door (at our last house).

#2. Some rotten person has stolen our mail. Has never happened to us. However, I will not say that this never happens---since I have heard all too often that it does.

Sincerely,
Tom Semian

Whooo.... talk about threadomancy! LOL

But yeah, Tom. Those are the 2 most common occurrences for that issue.
These days, as cheap as they're getting, most people should just have some sort of camera system set up.
(My personal opinion).
