United States Postal Service won’t try to deliver your parcel if you miss it the first time even though postmen come to deliver mails six days in a week. Instead they will leave a pink slip which says you can pick it up after a certain date. First of all, postmen mostly never come at a certain time during different days of a week. Most likely you will miss the first time as a result. From the post office I found out that there is a number (on the back of the pink slip) to call and request to deliver it again. No idea what happens if you miss it second time.

Well, what happens if the pink slip is blown by strong wind? Last year, we bought something online but we weren’t getting it even after a long time of estimated delivery date. Finally, I went to track the item in UPS or FedEx (forgot which one) website and found out that it was delivered by USPS (they use USPS for the last mile delivery). Then I realized they might have missed us and the pink slip was blown away, so I went to our post office and found our parcel.

How come they can’t try to deliver the parcel three times like UPS and FedEx does??? Believe it or not UPS or FedEx only comes to deliver a package to you and they don’t come every day. Still, they will try three times to deliver it but even though the postmen come almost every day to your house he/she won’t even try second time unless you request it. That sucks
