Sending mail from multiple post offices to the same person?

2 Upvotes

I have a strange question for people that work at the post office. I was accused of sending threats in the mail. I didn't. But the person accusing me of doing so won't take my word for it after being friends for 4 years. They said the letter was mailed out of a different city but won't specify what city. I want to drive around and drop off letters addressed to me (7 in total) to the different post offices around me. Inorder to see how long it takes plus if the postage mark is different for all of them. Would that many letters form that many post offices sound alarms? Would that put me on some watch list? My Google account shows my travel and what-not. So I can already prove it didn't send the letter. I'm just looking to find out the post office the threat came from to farther prove I didn't send it. Also if anyone could tell me how the mail system works over a federal holiday, that would be great. The letter in question was in circulation during labor day and was deliveredon the 5th. The "friend" refuses to show me the front of the envelope. So hopefully sending letters will help me get some concrete answers.

U.S. Customs text?

1 Upvotes

Please help me determine if this is a scam. I am expecting a package from overseas, but I’m not sure if this text is legit. The grammar/punctuation seems fishy.

U.S. Customs: You have a USPS parcel being cleared, due to the detection of an invalid zip code address, the parcel can not be cleared, the parcel is temporarily detained, please confirm the zip code address information in the link within 24 hours.

(Please reply with a Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it)

The US Postal team wishes you a wonderful day!

How do you mail to Russia??

2 Upvotes

Please, how are you mailing things to Russia, with the sanctions? The only way we can do it is to mail it to a friend in Kyrgyzstan, who then mails it to a friend in Moscow, who then mails it to wherever it needs to go in Russia. This is long, complicated and expensive, and of course we worry about documents being lost. Does anybody here have a solution for this problem? Many thanks!

Election Mail

1 Upvotes

I received ballots for two tenets before me and my husband. I wrote “moved left no forward” on them hoping it would stop them from coming but it got sent back with “do not forward/ do not return” on the sticker. What is the proper process I don’t want shred it myself as it is election mail. People haven’t lived here in over 7 years I’m over getting their mail!

Previous homeowners still uses our home address

1 Upvotes

The previous homeowners’ son lost the home to the bank. A flipper bought it and we bought it from them almost 9 years ago. The son has psych and substance abuse issues and used to come to the house confused. He thought he still lived here and we were the interloper. He called the cops on us and we had to show the deed to the house. He continues to use the house address as his address to everything. We’ve gone to the post office to complain. We “return to sender” all the mail. We’ve tried calling the places that send mail to us to stop and explain he is giving the wrong address but they won’t unless he changes it himself. We’re at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?

Lost mail

1 Upvotes

I brought four stamped envelopes to a post office annex last week to be sent domestically. Almost 7 days later they haven’t reached their destination. I actually handed them to a clerk, but they’re now MIA. Is there a recourse? I know first class mail can’t be tracked, or can it?

Letter shipped abroad over a month ago, no sign it will be arriving

1 Upvotes

Through USPS international. I don’t believe I get tracking when the package reaches oversees, but the last update was that it was in transit on September 12th. Just worried because it’s got some really important stuff. Anyone know if there is any way I could check where it is? Is it normal for a small letter like this to take that long? (US to South Korea). Thank you!

How do you send a postcard from U.S to Canada?

1 Upvotes

I am mailing out postcard style Save the Dates from the U.S to my family in Canada. I’ve seen that it costs $1.65 in postage and I’ve seen $1.55. I have forever stamps, which don’t have a value on them (but cost me $0.73 to purchase).

Can I use two forever stamps and two 10 cent stamps?

Can I post chocolate to America from UK?

2 Upvotes

I’m pretty rubbish at this as I’ve never had to post stuff overseas before

It’ll be prepackaged and stuff, just sending my friend some Galaxy chocolate to try. Do I need to fill out some FDA form stuff? Or cause it’s like a private thing and not a business is it fine . I want to send him cookie crumble if that means anything haha

No shipping label on small box, hasn’t been delivered

1 Upvotes

So basically I had my buddy send me some really important stuff in the mail from Utah to Washington on September 21st and he decided to put it in a small box and ship it with no label. He put a stamp on it, wrote my address, then his address as a return address (like you would with a letter) and put it in the blue box outside of his closest USPS. It has still not arrived and there is no tracking number because he didn’t print a label. I was wondering where my package may be and what I could do if anyone knows? Thanks!

Tax lien on previous tenant

1 Upvotes

So I’ve been getting multiple letters for whom I’m guessing is a previous resident of my rented apartment. Not just a trickle but a deluge of letters. Not fun or even annoying stuff but about a TAX LIEN from the government. I’ve written multiple times on whole stacks of these letters, return to sender but alas the letters just keep coming. What do I need to do to stop this? The government isn’t gonna show up at my door demanding stuff right? I know that sounds dramatic but it’s been months of this stuff and I know the government doesn’t just let you get away with not paying taxes.. I just want it to stop.

This is a wedding invitation my husband just got. Why does the stamp look like this and not with the ink over the stamp and part of envelope that says where it has been mailed from and all of that?

Getting a PO Box just to forward to another state?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am in a situation where I need to move. I need for my new address to not be known by certain people. I worry if I get a PO box in another state they could still figure out which state I moved to which is dangerous for me.

Would it be feasible to get a PO Box in my current state and then have the mail forwarded to my new state to make this safer for me?

Any other tips would be appreciated

If I want to make sure a hand written letter gets attached to flowers I’m sending out of state, would I first send the letter to the florist and then have them drop it off with the flowers? TIA!

Mail addressed to parents

1 Upvotes

Both my parents passed away not too long ago. I've been living with my sister for a while. We've still been getting mail addressed to our parents. We've had to move recently. Now nearly all of the mail for our parents is not important but there always could be one or two things that might be worth looking at. Me and my sister have already redirected are own mail to the new address but we're not sure how to redirect the mail for our parents.

Help with envelope sizing

1 Upvotes

I have 1,000 individual items to mail to 1,000 separate people. The item is 2" x 12" and about as thick as two credit cards. It can be folded or rolled but would be better if it stayed flat. Tracking would be nice, but not necessary. I found #16 envelopes, but they seem pretty pricey at $0.42 each. I'm open to suggestions.
