What does a USPS complaint form do for lost mail?

Question

I've recently lost a package i sent via USPS. I have sent in a lost item description form and I heard they will forward that letter to every post office who might have handled my package and hopefully find the package but it's taking too long and I still havent received any information about my item. I am planning to fill out a complaint form but I dont know what that will do for my package. What will the complaint form do for my lost package?

Answer 1

There are no longer any hard copy forms for making inquiry about a lost package, nor for making complaints. These activities are done online now.

A report can be made about a missing package, no sooner than 14 days after the date of mailing. You can do that here.

If you were given a form to fill out, you were done a disservice. As I said, the paper form was made obsolete more than 2 years ago.

If you wish to contact the USPS about a problem, or to make a complaint, you would do that here.
