Can USPS Packages Be Picked Up If A Delivery Was Missed?
The USPS will usually try to redeliver parcels the next working day, but if there were delivery challenges that prevented them from dropping them off the first day, the same issues may make it difficult for them to drop them off the next day as well.
In those circumstances, a short phone to the post office to ask them to hold your parcel until you can get there later that evening or early the next morning generally suffices to resolve the situation.
