Lost postal packages?

maybe this is a vent more than a question, but how the heck can they loose 2 big boxes that are insured and clearly labled? MY husband mailed 2 big boxes and one to his mom, we are both in Texas. I'm in the city, her in the country. andshe got hers!! We called both post office locations and nothing! and they didn't give him a tracking number eventhough they should have since the insurance is more than 50bucks. Where could the packages be??Lost postal packages?
If your husband mailed the packages 'insured' for more than $50.00 he was handed a receipt when he mailed the packages. On this receipt is the tracking number.

Contrary to many answers, the Postal Service does not "lose' many parcels. Insured mail is accountable mail, so it is not in some postal persons basement.

I'd be curious to find out the outcome of your problem, when it is solved.
Well still no packages. They are not here, not at the originating post office and not at his old company at ft lee. The po here said the same thing, that over $50 he should have got a tr# but he called the po in ft lee where he sent it from and they said that is wrong. IDK. but it's still not here.

Something like this happened with my sister. Give it a little more time, and hopefully your package will show up. My sister's package (I sent her gifts), was left at her apartment complex, at the wrong apartment (GRRRRRR). The wrong-recipient was kind enough to toss the box at the apartment complex management office... who eventually redirected it to my sister. Hopefully, your box will show up soon. Or... maybe you can collect for the insured amount? Good luck.
I've worked for the postal service and let me tell you it's a wonder more stuff doesn't get lost the people don't care they just take their time work real slow. The staff there are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.Lost postal packages?
Well, they not lost, they are at a postal workers home. This is a rising concern many have mentioned. What I find sad, is the SOB probably makes more money than me and has better Medical and Retirement benefits. The government needs to investigate this and when a person is caught they need to be prosecuted. Along with government officials that take Laptops home and lose them.
