Problems with USPS Carrier Pickup

[stderek]

I've been using the USPS carrier pickup several times a week for several years with very few issues - but last week I created a carrier pickup as usual, and got a confirmation number, but I never got an email confirmation that the pickup order was received, and never got a notice that the package was picked up.  This has happened several times.  My carrier has been picking up my packages, but I have received no emails from the USPS.  

Is anyone else having this issue?

What does the tracking show?

As long as your carrier is picking up and scanning the packages then there shouldn't be much of an issues. The e-mails are nothing more than an alert.

Check your spam folder to make sure USPS e-mails didn't start getting filtered there.

Check your account history on USPS.com to see if the pickup history is showing. As long as you see it there, then your pickup requests are going through.

Apparently this isn't something other people are experiencing.  

It is more of a nuisance than anything.   Since this issue started, for all I know my carrier just happened to have picked up my packages because they delivered my mail.  I have a pickup scheduled for tomorrow but I don't know if they will actually pick it up - if the carrier doesn't have any mail for me - he won't look in my mailbox (assuming my requests aren't going through).  

I've never logged into my account in the past when I make a pickup request - I may have to try logging in to see if that changes anything.

Most carriers don't 'scan' at the door so you have no way of knowing if they picked up (unless an email is sent stating so). 1st Class sometimes doesn't get scanned for days. 

Typical and nothing you can do about is unless you wait in line and give to clerk at counter.
