Your letter carrier has his/her hands full if they are on foot. The package pickup request will probably be handled by a carrier assistant in a separate truck which is for the express purpose of pickup and delivery of parcels. The pickup requests alert that carrier that you have a package to pick up. If your letter carrier is not your long-term carrier but some rando...you need to know they are probably struggling VERY HARD to get the job done, and when they get back to the PO, they are going to be handed another route and are probably working a 12-hour day, sometimes more. The whole Postal system is taxed to the max and breaking due to parcels. It wasn't meant to be a parcel delivery operation, not to this degree anyway. Covid has wiped out our workforce, not because people are sick, but because your government is paying people not to work and it's being taken advantage of. Shitty carriers stay employed due to Union interference.

I told him I fill out package pickup requests all the time, but will not do it for a first class package. Quoting: savcash He said he will take it this time, not anymore. I raised my voice as he was walking away, said no, I wont do that for 1st class. (was up on my porch, behind my door, but open) and my dog started barking cause I was raising my voice//// Anyone ever heard of such nonsense? Now, in retaliation, he has filed on my address, no mail pick up. Saying I used foul words to him and he is afraid of my dog!! I did not, he is lying, and dog is not vicious at all. Never any problems,bites, etc. Went to talk to post master, she said she wasnt going to go against her carrier! I called consumer affairs office, supposed to get back in 72 hrs as p/o told me as well, i have 2 choices, get a p/o box or put a mail box at street. Never had a problem with other carriers, this is just so wrong! Over his demand on first class pickup, want to see in writing where that is a requirement......so no need for that, and want mail service restored,grrrr. anyone have any ideas? :idea: Call your congressman to complain. |

You are real fun at parties, aren't you? Seriously, I do carrier pick up requests everyday since I sell online. Just go online to USPS and send in a request before 2 am central and they will get a printout to go to your house That was it's documented for you and everything. Easy. |

What on earth does filling out a package pick request even mean??? I thought you either dropped it off or if it's under 13 pounds they would pick it up?? Has something changed? Yeah, postal service has been "democratized" if yah know what I mean. Our service went down the tubes a few years back, was unbearable, and right, you can't complain on any postal worker, you will get nowhere. |

Shitty carriers stay employed due to Union interference. While I can definitely say I've met some REAL hard working USPS workers, the majority that I come in contact with (multiple times, daily) are utterly useless, glorified welfare recipients. The Vietnam war was a better investment than the USPS. COVID only made them even shittier. My regular carrier at my new location (newish, 1.5 years old) has been changed 5 times and none of them ever show up. My latest has been the longest lasting on this route and she shows up maybe twice a week. Every other week for the past six months she comes in and tells me she won't be picking up or dropping off for the next week because she's going on vacation. As well, she says she can't guarantee anyone will come in her place. Fam, my business is on a main road, in the middle of suburbia, not out in the sticks. The post office is 2 miles away. Furthermore, how is this woman getting so much time off, when she never shows up in the first place?? This is her second year working for USPS, so it has nothing to do with saved up time or anything... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79660464 United States 07/30/2021 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: USPS carrier is telling me I need to submit a package pickup request FOR EVEN A FIRST CLASS PACKAGE! hey OP, try this: You asked the carrier to pick up a first class parcel = no go You asked the postmaster to intervene = no go Now bump it up to the next level. Talk to the Manager of Post Office Operations (MPOO) for this particular post office. He/she is the boss over the postmaster of your post office. Do not yell, scream, or act like a disgruntled postal worker. Simply figure out how to get a face to face meeting with the MPOO. State your case in a well rehearsed fashion will all of the available facts. Don't go in there with your heart on your sleeve, but with what really happened, when it happened and what you think can resolve the situation. In other words act like a lawyer when you are talking with the MPOO. Do not waste their time because they have zillions of complaints to handle on a daily basis. By being a face in front of them you will have a leg up over just a email or mean spirited text from an angry customer. If you get no love from the MPOO find out where the District Managers office is and then take your facts to that person. State your case like you did to the MPOO. At least meeting with these people will make them call the postmaster and ask him about the case. It is not nice to be a postmaster and get a call from the MPOO or District manager about a situation which you've experienced. About the only way you will get the postmaster to change his attitude is through someone with more authority than him. This is the only advise which will get you any kind of positive response from the post office. Try any other avenues of response and you will get nowhere. Face to face is a great way to become a real person to the bosses. It has some legwork on your part but it is worth the effort if you want to get a good result. If you do not go with these suggestions then you will have to be satisfied with the results you are already experiencing. God bless. |

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING pisses off a postal carrier more than having to pick up packages. They hate dropping off packages enough already. The postal worker dropped the hammer on you because you was making their life hell. You should have drove to the post office and dropped off your packages there yourself. |

The regular route driver has their hands full and may not be back to the station in time for that package to go out. He/she may take , but it may not go out that night which is the point is first class mail(overnight shipment) the rover driver goes around and get all package that needs to leave on the flight that night and head back to the station to be sorted out and taken to the airport. |
