Not sure what I can do about this but a cautionary tale for some maybe...
I recently went through the USPS change of address movers coupon process so that we could save a few bucks on a new washer and dryer set with the 10% Bestbuy coupon.
Normally when I do ths, I submit the request and then I cancel it ASAP. This time around I didn't bother trying to cancel for a few hours; I was met with a "try again later, we're processing this" type message.
So I cancelled it the next day none the wiser. Seemed OK.
Fast forward about a month and I notice I am not getting packages via USPS. When I track them I am getting messages like: "Your item was undeliverable as addressed at 9:26 am on December 5, 2015..... It is being returned if appropriate information is available."
Considering I've ordered from these sources before and no changes have been made I get the impression that the change of address submission could be the only possible difference
I tried to talk to my local PO about this; it is the Holiday season so the wait was horrible. The person I spoke with is generally a "disgruntled" worker, she's there about 50% of my visits to the PO so I know her MO. At any rate she was not too happy to help me and basically said there's no packages she can find and there's nothing I can do but "wait it out."
So now all I can do is get packages in my wife's name or to my work address. Nice.
Long story short, I guess my advice is cancel those damn change of address requests immediately or else. The coupon probably saved us about $100 but the incovenience is defnitely bittersweet. If anyone has any advice please let me know!
