SUCKS.

I sent in a change of address on the 8th of August (that’s right, ten [10] days ago) and have since not been getting any mail at my apartment, thanks to the mailman putting a note in the box so that my mail doesn’t get delivered.

I’m not getting any mail at my house either. This is the weird part. I even asked my mom to send me a letter, 4 days ago (I assume she sent it, it really isn’t her style to lie about something this trivial) and still have not even received that.

I called 1-800-ASK-USPS 3 days ago and they tell me that there is no COA on file for me. So I tell the retard on the other end of the phone to put in another one. I stop by the post office in my old zip code (at 22nd and Pantano) to figure out where my fucking mail is being held. After 20 minutes of waiting in line, she tells me it’s in Phoenix at some “central forwarding center”, and forwarded mail takes an extra 7-10 days to get to me. I asked her about why I’m not getting any mail addressed to my house, even the usual 3rd class carrier sort junk mail. She has no answer.

So for the past 10 days, I have not received any mail at all. I’m getting more and more pissed off as they days go by on this one…

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the USPS at their 800 number. The dick on the other end of the phone basically said unless mail is 14 POSTAL business days late, they don’t care. He wouldn’t even look to see if there was a hold on the mail for that address. Then he promptly hung up on me.

UPDATE 2: My mail finally got delivered. Turns out, when someone moves out of a home, they hold all the mail for that address until they receive notice that someone moved back in to that house. Be nice if they’d have told someone that…
