I paid $8 to mail a package to my sister-in-law who lives in Ellebelle and the package was returned to me with a note on it that it was refused and to Return to Sender. The post office never even attempted to deliver the package, at least to the correct address. I also don't understand how it was refused when it should have just been left in the mailbox or even on the front porch. It did not require a signature or anything. What is my recourse? I paid money and they did not complete the task. So now I'm just money. USPS has such a bad reputation the past decade or so and this kind of stuff is why! They are charging more with a service you can't depend on.
UPDATE* The package was mailed again (at no charge to me). I just happened to go in to check on the package over a week later as it was never received by my family member, AND I was told it was just returned to them that morning - smh. They created an entirely new label and shipped it out a third time. THIS time it arrived and my sister-in-law was very happy to finally receive it.
