Hillary Benn? I’m kind of jealous.

Well, it’s kind of hard to tell someone who’s sending me a package I don’t know about to send it via FedEx or UPS. Also, if you check the comments, you’ll see about half a dozen people telling me that USPS offers the same service through myUSPS.

If you check all the other comments, you’ll learn, as I did, that they do already have this service. You and I must be the last to know because everyone and their mother felt the need to tell me about it (without reading the other comments first).

Actually, at least five people commented the same thing before you did. I guess you didn’t read everything else before you posted.

I’m not suggesting they need to leave a custom note. It could be a pre-printed piece of paper that says the package was left at the office, similarly to the notes that UPS or FedEx have. In fact, up until about two years ago, the USPS in my area left a pre-printed slip. Sometimes that postman would add the date,…

Yes. She’s at the corner of Westminster Bridge, across the street for Palace of Westminster.

Yeah, at least five people decided to tell me this before reading other comments. Apparently, I was the last to know about this. (I use the similar service for UPS and FedEx.)

Good luck trying to actually talk to the postmaster or USPS customer service in my area. A few years ago, it took me a month to talk to the postmaster about a two-day delivery package that their tracker said was being held at the post office but no one could find. Ends up, it had been delivered to the wrong mailbox in…

I’m talking about unexpected packages, not things that I ordered online. For example, a friend might send a package for Christmas or my birthday but not want to spoil the surprise by sending me a tracking number.

I could do that, except that it’s just an extra hassle — another place to have to stop on my way home to pick up a package. Like I said, most of the time I’m expecting a package, so I’m tracking it. It’s really only around my birthday or Christmas that someone else sends me a package that I might not be expecting.

I’m having packages delivered to my home, and the USPS ones always end up in the apartment complex office (not my work office). They just throw all the packages in a small room and forget about them.

Thanks! I didn’t know USPS has this service. I’ve used the similar UPS and FedEx services before.

Although it’s certainly not Parliament Square, the Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst Memorial is located at the entrance to Victoria Tower Gardens, which is adjacent to the Palace of Westminster.

Tony Benn is my favorite British politician! I was extremely sad when he passed away a few years ago.

I partly agree with you. I think it should be the responsibility of the USPS delivery person to leave notice that a package was delivered. I also think it’s helpful with apartment management staff email notices for packages. The previous two companies who managed my complex did this, but the current one seems to only…

USPS tracking doesn’t help when you don’t know there’s a package to track. As I stated in my post, most of the time I use the USPS website to see if a package was delivered. The problem is that I can’t do this with unexpected packages.

I just want my mail delivery person to leave a note in my mailbox when they leave my package with my apartment complex office. Most of the time, I know I’m expecting a package and check USPS to see if it was delivered. But there are times an unexpected package sits in the office for over a week because I don’t know I…

I stopped going to showers when I got invited to a co-ed couples baby shower and knew I was the only single person invited. That just sounded like it was going to be a miserable experience.

Throwing yourself a virtual shower is just about the tackiest thing I’ve ever heard!

I said I was going to do that for my 40th birthday (if I hadn’t married), but I ended up not doing it. As a single 41 year old, I’ve already bought pretty much everything I need (including top of the line Kitchen Aid mixer) or have inherited items I like (e.g., my mom’s wedding china and my grandmother’s sterling…
