So heres the skinny on my situation. I had placed an order and asked specifically for the vendor to make sure it gets here Saturday. I have the tracking and as promised it is scheduled for Saturday. Unfortunately Saturday ends and no package.
Now its Monday and I totally forgot about MLK day because I still get to work like most people. The good news is that the package is probably sitting in the nearby post office waiting to be scanned in as it left the a nearby sorting facility 30 minutes away last night. The bad news is that with no sign required, I am worried my package is going to be left out tomorrow and I wont be home until late (mailbox outside house too doesn't help).
So I check USPS FAQs and they say for this type of mail, you should contact customer service immediately following a missed scheduled delivery as its supposed to be guaranteed to be delivered on that day. My question is I guess, should I just wait it out and hope its there when I get home late tomorrow night or contact customer service and see if they can expedite the delivery somehow (for example early morning would be perfect) without adding any additional risk to my OPSEC or delivery of my package or reasonable cause for USPS to search my package? Any input is greatly appreciated thanks.
Definitely call your local post office. I have to do it pretty frequently, because I order a shit ton of cheap ass (legal) stuff from China that always require a signature. Just call them and they'll look for the package and then redeliver it or tell you it's already on the truck en route.
