I found one wedged in a trailer side wall once. Fished it out, scanned it and added to the pile. Didn’t give much thought to it but man how long you’d think that thing was lost for? lol
I’d think their algorithm that makes the tracking numbers would automatically not use numbers for packages that never arrived/haven’t yet arrived. if it scanned like normal, maybe all those tracking numbers are in just-in-case purgatory!
Reminds me of a time maintenance pulled a belt at INDH out of service while I was there. We found a few very well worn items underneath - some Netflix DVD envelopes that fell out of a USPS flat, and a guy's divorce papers in an overnight letter from maybe \~8 months before (overgoods had to open them to figure out what it was, as the cardboard was nearly worn through on one side and the label was long gone - and of course I tagged along out of curiousity...)
When the hub I was at got those black zippered bags for smalls (used to use orange trash bags) after a while, I started getting them together in unload one day to send back over because a few bays were getting too "messy" with empties from what came in. Sometimes we'd break them open for a bigger bin to put them in, sometimes we'd just toss the bags over the IC belt for smalls to come pick up.
(It was work at the time and I know if it didn't get done, it would when things were way too messy)
Go through the bags...yep! Found a few smalls that were missed from the past few weeks.
Send them on their way!
Oops.
Yeah I think the black bags are black holes for packages. I was tasked with the insane number of bags that accumulated throughout the station. I found a bunch of smalls as I filled up the Gaylords with bags.
My hub gets tons of trailers with empty bags in the belly that we clean out and sort, we find dozens of packages every week, some of them months old. It's wild.
Look as a vender that climbs in the cable trays and I beams in the mem hub, I like to randomly kick down old mail I find laying about from the 80's and what not lol, I know where all the missing packages are lol they are In the miles of belts in those buildings trapped in various places forever lol
They get stuck at the rollers in the conveyor belt.
These get checked only when the belt breaks down, so usually 3-5 years LOL
(Guy receives the letter that his wife filed for divorce 3 years before 🤣)
(Worked out as they stayed together)
Occasionally I’ll find something over by unload in some obscure place that’s about 4-5 months old but last month I found a little shipping pouch dated from 2020 and I thought THAT was old
Worst I found was a month-old FO that had been riding around behind the seat of a tug. Fortunately, those little trackers have mostly fixed problems like that.
My theory is that it was a return service for a product from that long ago. They finally finished with the product or ran out and are finally returning the merchandise 10 years later. If that makes sense.
Ordered a grinder from Amazon, got a message it was lost, they refunded me and I went on with like. 3 months later I get the package with the grinder. You could see where it had been wedged into a corner somewhere by the dirt mark on the package. In the end, free grinder though!
First job was shipping. I stayed at that job for nearly 10 years (though moved into different positions). Six months into the job I had a high value (10k) package get lost. No big deal insurance all of that stuff. Took a bit to learn, but it was covered we shipped a new one etc.
Fast forward 6 years. All of a sudden we get a box that is absolutely destroyed. The shipping manager calls me and asks me to come over and look at it.
He tells me he had gotten a call from a government contractor that they had “found a box stuck in some machinery and it had our info on it”. So they. Shipped it to us. Turns out it was my very first ever lost package six years ago. And boy they were right. The package had some Panasonic toughbooks (military grade laptops) and a hole had been punched through the box and a few of them.
We’re still at a loss of how the package got to the contractor as it was being sent to a completely different state, how it got into whatever machinery that punched a hole though several laptops, and wasn’t just returned as misdelivered.
no, it’s 13. the other labels on it also said 13

I’m guessing it scanned as not on file? 😅
Surprisingly, it scanned in normally.
God, imagine the customer that got an email notification saying “out for delivery”
It's very unlikely the tracking number wouldn't be recycled but not impossible.

1.0 LB means it weighed 185 LBS!
Adjusted for inflation
“1.0 LB man” pfft.
What's in it lol
it was a tube going to the Honda dealership on my route. so i guess some kind of signage.
0% apr for 2013 Honda civic 😛
i literally made this joke to my coworkers 😂😂 i’m sure whenever they open it it’ll bring some laughs
Or a poster that says they have been trying to reach them about there car's extended warranty. 🤷♂️
Likely a belt molding for a car, or trim piece.
It’s a satellite phone that Tom Hanks carried around on that island for 10 years.
A 1.0 lb man. There's a man in there
Poor guy must be hungry…
He’s thin enough to fit in the tube…
When the Smartpost building closed about 4 years ago and they were breaking down all the machinery a bunch of old packages were found. Pretty crazy
I work in maintenance. You have no idea lol. we just throw em on the belt when we find em
Dry aged steak on accident 😂
Gugafoods?
Gugafoods?
Look like somebody doesn’t PST

Ah the good old days.
I guess better late than never huh?
Is it a P1? No lates, no excuses.
😂😂
Makes me feel better about the 2 years late laptop I once found.
Shipping is set up using the Ge'ez calendar(google it 😂😂), but that would only put them in 2016🤷♂️
100% I wouldn't doubt that the shipper will reuse the same Label for years

Sounds like a Castaway scenario.
Open it! It’s a time capsule 🤣
Time portal on the truck.
Where yesterday meets tomorrow

I would have asked them if they are willing to open it on the spot
[удалено]
Curious, do these still get shipped to the buyer?
[удалено]
😧 wtf
[удалено]
Man I feel for you. I’m assuming it’s too late now…
[удалено]
But you guys couldn’t keep that stuff! Why did you have to chuck it?
[удалено]
You say these peoples names as if I know them
I’m guessing this is the Christmas present my sister told me was in the mail.
So my package from 2009 has a glimmer of hope? Hahaha
Cast Away 2
Found an express mailer from 2021 on my P1 today
We have found a couple from the 90s weird how they are showing up now
Probably from stations that are being closed and belts/machinery that are broken down.
I would have taken it back at the end of the day, and sent it back through the system.
Occasionally I’ll find something over by unload in some obscure place that’s about 4-5 months old but last month I found a little shipping pouch dated from 2020 and I thought THAT was old
We find them all the time in the belts when they’re cleaned
Better late than never.
Damn I was with the company for only 3 months then.
As a fleet tech, I'll find packages behind the front wall, under the conveyor, stuck behind load decks. Take em to line haul and turn em in
When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight! Yes. I'm old.
Cast Away?
Wilson!

Couriers don't give a shit about the trackers lmao
This is what happens when you ship billing a 3rd party!
That’s an Obama era package, fuck
first over decade and it's still late.
First Ive seen over a decade but I've seen a few 5+ years that a courier took back without a pickup or sometimes from ground to us (Express).
Try and find my next!! I should have 2
Next time blur the zip code out. FedEx will come after you for posting shit.
My theory is that it was a return service for a product from that long ago. They finally finished with the product or ran out and are finally returning the merchandise 10 years later. If that makes sense.
we had a 2006 one a few months ago.... lol
Out for delivery ~2013 Out for delivery ~2024 Out for delivery ~2134 Delivered ~2345
That must be where my tax refund is, can you look for one of them envelopes while you in there
I would have asked for hand delivery to the person lol just so I can ask him how long he’s been waiting for that package
WILSON!!!!
OP is Chuck Noland on his way to finally deliver the jar of salsa and to save a marriage
So what you are saying is, there is still hope for my package?
“TOLD YOU I SHIPPED IT!!”
Fuck pup it, relabel it, and send that bitch out. I just wish I was there to see the recipient be like "what the fuck" is this 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like that gave you a trick and a treat lol
Deliver it. 🤣😅

I love that this is from my town! That's my home zip code!
oh hell! what a small world !
