The USPS will electrically Bill Amazon for the postage to get it there. So the USPS in Hot Spring NP, slaps one of the yellow labels on to the box and away it goes across the US to get to SunCity AZ. Amazon has "Told" the USPS it will pay for the forward of the package in the data behind the barcode for the package. First they scanned it as undeliverable as addressed The BarCode (also printed on the label) will tell the USPS what to do with the package. When the package got to Hot Spring NP, your carrier on his/her route know there is a forward at your address. Send it back to sender, Forward it to a different address, Hold it at the office, etc.Īmazon does not make that option available to you to use on there website. The Exception will tell the carrier what to do with the package. That will trigger the mail system to kick the package out, Once the Package is out of the Normal distribution channel. When UPS/FedEx/USPS scan it along it route of shipment. Hopefully this message will help someone avoid the ridiculous garbage I had to go through (although i still might be going through it, i won't know until i get mail, at which time I'll update this thread)Īmazon can if they wanted to, on the Tracking number, Request a shipping exception of the package. This of course is no guarantee since as I said 4 days after my forwarding took affect I was still delivered packages that would have been left on my doorstep at the old address. You should find your local office at your new place and physically visit them to make sure you're going to get your mail. The point of all this is, DO NOT go by the notices or the COA you put in online OR physically at your old address. Now, i had him remove that, and he has assured me i will now get my mail (I sure hope so since I had a new credit card sent to me that I'm afraid may have already been returned). He checked tracking for my package and confirmed it was returned undeliverable. The agent at the counter told me it had been marked vacant on Tuesday and reaffirmed on Wednesday. Today was the first business day since Friday ( i actually went yesterday forgetting it was closed since incredibly Columbus day is a federal holiday). The next day they showed up as 'vacant' at the address when I viewed the tracking. The next day the tracking showed 'undeliverable at address' even though I already received two items from USPS at this new address by the same shipping company (amazon) and had spoken TO the delivery man. In the meantime I ordered some key rings at Amazon that were tiny. That was the last piece of mail we got, period. he wrote them all down and assured me he'd make sure it's recognized. I even spent around 5 minutes talking to him to see when his normal delivery window was, and gave him both our names as well as my business name. The USPS delivery man showed up to deliver some other things I'd ordered but sent to the new address. When i got to my new home in Arizona I was unloading boxes. I asked why, telling him I had forwarded it. I didn't worry since I knew they'd get forwarded.Nope.Įven though i confirmed again my change of address, he still came. I did this by accident because normally Amazon ships to me via UPS/FedEx. I got confirmations of all 3 submissions with tracking and verified all were in place.Ĥ days later (before I actually moved but someone was at my new address to accept mail) the USPS deliver man showed up with 3 boxes I had ordered from Amazon. When i moved from Hot Springs Arkansas to Phoenix Arizona (Well Sun City, but still metro phx) I submitted a change of address to take effect one week before i moved since I knew I had access to my new place.
