Remember, you do not have to call to track your package. You can do it on their site. Your package should have gotten an attempted scan not a delivered so that you could see that it was there when the post office was closed. Rural carriers are required to take a package back out the next day if you are generally home. If it happens again, then you should call the post office and ask them to check the carriers hold bin or the parcel rack. You may request that a carrier not ever leave a package and leave a notice that it is at the office for pick up. When you got your package that had been scanned as delivered, then you should have called the 800 number and tell them you want to file a complaint and would like a call back from the office to explain why you got a package that showed delivered. Carriers should not leave packages unless there is a secure place. If the package will not fit in the box, then they are required to leave a 3849 Delivery Notice in your mailbox explaining where they left it so that you will not know it is there for several days. Also, many of you do not know that a carrier is not allowed to leave a package hanging on the outside of your box. If they do, call.
