Gotta love a small town. Even the USPS employees are local and known among the community.
I didn't check the mail yesterday because the app said I didn't get any. We went out to breakfast this morning and I stopped to check the mail on the way back in the driveway. Trick or Treat, the mail lady had put a few pieces of Halloween candy in the mailbox.
Think about that for a minute.... even if there was no mail to deliver she stopped at every mailbox on her route to leave a few pieces of candy.

Yep, if you find Halloween candy in your mailbox I would suggest you check it for razor blades.

Any of you have packages show up as delivered on USPS site when they're actually not and are in the mail box the next day? Has been happening to me lately.

I had a couple packages "delivered" while I was HOME waiting for them. NO ONE came to my mailbox on the front porch so I KNEW the notices were WRONG. One package was never found. Only a $13 car part which I was able to recover after a claim. NOT porch pirates! I'm certain delivered to wrong address.

When it happened the second time i filed a missing package claim and requested to talk to someone. Actually got a call-back with little help. Drove over to local post office and made the complaint in person. Supervisor-like person seemed to dismiss my claim until I asked if he could VERIFY the address delivered to. He said he'd check the GPS data for the delivery address and call me at home. About an hour after I got home he called and sheepishly admitted the delivery GPS LOCATION DID NOT MATCH MY HOME ADDRESS. He said the driver was attempting to retrieve the package for delivery to MY address.

While we were talking I heard a THUMP on my front porch. With the supervisor still on the line I went to the front door to SEE my package in the middle of the porch and the driver running back to her vehicle. I waived and shouted THANK YOU then told the supervisor thank you for his help.

I had other words in mind but kept them to myself. That would not have helped. The good news is they haven't repeated those errors in the last 8 years.

Have had that happen a couple times, but not recently.

Once had a substitute mail lady drop a package on top of the trash can near the gate at the fence. Betty Lou saw her on the security camera and went out to retrieve the package. I did have a package coming but hadn't received the "out for delivery" message. I saw Betty Lou waving the driver down on her way out the driveway. She got the house number right nut the street name was on the other side of town, not our package.

Got the package today that was supposedly delivered yesterday so all is well despite the aggravation.

Well, it wasn't USPS but it was Amazon. These folks have taken to hiring just anyone to make deliveries. Kinda like Uber or Doordash they use their own vehicles. They claimed they delivered a package to me yesterday and posted a picture showing the package at the back door. The problem is that it's not my back door and I have no clue who's back door it is.
Their issue reporting system is automated and nowhere in it can you type a descriptive message. It's all questions with multiple choice answers. The final result of that contact was a prewritten message that often times mis delivered packages are delivered to the right person by the folks who received them in error. If that don't happen by tomorrow at 4pm. I am to go through the automated process again.
F THAT !!!  Go get my package and bring it to me !!

Amazon has gotten a lot worse lately!  I have had packages delivered to the wrong address also.  Luckily, I don't live in the middle of nowhere and know my neighbors, so as long as it makes it somewhere on my street, I usually end up getting it delivered by a neighbor!  Lately, when I've ordered the initial shipping shows it to be delivered by Amazon, then it switches to another carrier.  I was supposed to have a package delivered by Amazon yesterday, it never arrived and when I check the status through Amazon, it's not showing a UPS tracking number!  Sadly, UPS has no record of this tracking number, so no telling if it will be delivered or not, or when.  Used to be if an Amazon Package was not delivered by the promised date, you could contact them and receive a gift card credit, I don't see that option any more...

Yes, I have received a shipping refund 3 times in the past year for late deliveries. It seemed funny to me because I didn't consider the packages late?
I've studied the picture that twinkle toes posted and I can't recognize that dwelling anywhere near us.

Mystery solved...
Betty Lou and I went out for breakfast. We were driving up the hard road that leads to our dirt road and I just couldn't get the image of that building out of my mind. I passed our dirt road and went to the Venue at the Runway that is located in an old converted hangar at the airport behind us.
I pulled in and was greeted by Darryl's (owner) wife. She was cleaning up from the wedding they hosted last night and preparing for another event today. She asked if I was there for a package.
She said she was going to bring it over after she got the mess cleaned up. She was pressed for time trying to prep for the event later.
I thanked her and didn't take up any more of her time.
