USPS Lost my Replacement Card
Hello, I was waiting on my replacement LTC card have USPS Informed Delivery which is supposed to let me know what mail is being delivered and when. So I got an email showing a scan of my LTC. Well last Wednesday was supposed to be delivered and hasn’t been. And it’s been 7 days. This is the second time a piece of mail( last time my ID Card) Has been lost in 3 months. I hate this.

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
I have USPS Informed Delivery. Not once has the postal service ever done anything about missing mail I've reported, even mail with a tracking number. If you believe that USPS doesn't care about quality, reliable service, you're probably right.
I don't know if there's any way to get DPS to ship the card other than USPS.

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
I feel your pain.
It is not uncommon to find other peoples mail in our mailbox, or to never get mail that was supposed to arrive. I have even complained to the regional head of USPS for our area, but nothing improved. Last month an obvious check meant for an elderly couple down the road showed up in our mailbox. I took it to them and reported that to our local postmaster. He did not seem to care and seemed to imply that I was making trouble for the mail carrier lady.

Same type of situations have happened to me over and over, whats bad is if it's Documents sent from the Government they think you're lying in some way. Like the USPS can't make a mistake??Lynyrd wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 10:53 am I feel your pain.

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
This happens to me all the time. I have all bills delivered online, and most set-up for auto-pay, so I only check our mailbox about once a week, but over half the time, there is something in there for a different address. Usually I am checking because I am expecting something specific, and it is frequently MIA.
Hasn't happened with a LTC, but they did lose my wife's drivers license. Surely this must be a great benefit for identity thieves.

2 ID's in 3 months... I'd be suspicious that someone is trying to steal your identity. You might benefit from a PO Box.On_Code wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 10:32 am Hello, I was waiting on my replacement LTC card have USPS Informed Delivery which is supposed to let me know what mail is being delivered and when.

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
When I was still living in California my girlfriend sent my Texas ID via USPS from Texas to my UPS mailbox & it never came. Then the replacement to our Texas address never came. Finally the next one did & my current Texas LTC(that has CA ID #). Even my replacement Utah permit came to my current Texas address. It’s like hit or miss. Well I just sent for my replacement card yesterday. Got my fingers crossedflechero wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 7:11 pm2 ID's in 3 months...

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
Back in the 1970's I went to the local DPS office to renew my DL, got my paper temp. card and started checking my rural route box. After 6 weeks or whatever the DPS specified as the max, still no license. Went back to the local office, declared it lost, paid the fee, got another temp. card. That renewal turns up in my mailbox in 3 weeks. About 6 months later, I'm checking my mailbox and find the FIRST renewal. So they might not have lost yours, they just might be real deliberate about getting it to you......

Re: USPS Lost my Replacement Card
My Texas registration sticker for my car got lost in the mail after I renewed online. I had to pay 6.50 to get a replacement sticker from the county. Luckily, that one came. Relatively quickly as a matter of fact.
