Saw that Reddit had a USPS forum (not officially connected to USPS) for questions and answers so I posted a question re: an international tracking issue. I was able to track a package in Poland, leaving Poland, arriving at US Customs, then arriving at USPS in Miami. I wondered if anyone knew why tracking now says "invalid tracking number, non-trackable". I did call USPS first, was told after a lengthy wait that "We can only tell you what you see yourself when you track!", which is always helpful, especially when they follow that with a cheery, "Thanks for being a USPS customer!"
A Reddit moderator removed my post, said it violated policy, that you can't ask for help with finding a package. I replied, said that I did NOT ask for help finding a package; I didn't give a tracking number, a name, an address, nothing at all related to finding the package, I just wondered why a working tracking number is now called invalid. Got a LONG reply with 101 listed Reddit rules, none of which I broke. The reply was canned, automated, indifferent.
I wrote reddit again, got another reply, this time telling me that I CAN post a question about USPS tracking but that it has to be a "general" one. My original post WAS general! No name, address, tracking number, zilch! What did I do wrong, was I not supposed to call the freaking package "MY package"? I tried to reply and found that they've blocked me from replying. Oh, the pain, how shall I survive.
I won't use Reddit again, totally pointless to go to a USPS questions forum and find that dozens of USPS topics aren't allowed because they might promote "incivility". Yeah, asking why a tracking number suddenly goes "invalid" must really make USPS people get riled. Also ridiculous that power hungry Reddit mods enforce "rules" with no regard to context, talk to you like they're machines and you're a NON-valued user.
