The mailman put I signed for a package I never received
<p>I was waiting on a package (Louis Vuitton Purse) I ordered 2 weeks prior. I receive the notification that the package was scheduled for delivery today between 12pm &amp; 3pm. Than I received another notification stating I will receive my package by 6:30pm. I have been home all day waiting on this package. At 6:30pm I went to my email to track the package. I noticed I received a email at 5:40pm  stating my package was delivered and signed at 5:35 PM by me. I never signed or Receive any package. The mailman never knocked on my door. I even went outside and looked around my house to make sure he didn’t leave it somewhere. I have called and report This fraudulent activity to the Postal Service and make a police report. How can I go about prosecuting the mail carrier that lied and said I sign for this package. I am very frustrated and angry.</p>

<p>You cannot prosecute anyone: prosecution is done by government prosecutors, in cases of criminal acts. You have presented no reason to think that there was a criminal act, by a postal employee or anyone else. There is a chance that the recipient committed a crime in retaining the shipment, but numerous non-criminal interpretations as well. The mailman certainly did not commit a crime by delivering the mail. You, on the other hand, are on the margins of committing the civil tort of defamation by falsely accusing the mailman of lying in saying that he delivered the package to you (though because we cannot presently identify that mailman, you are safe from such a lawsuit). Saying that he <em>lied</em> is different from saying that he was mistaken in his statement. There is also no evidence of fraud by the USPS (which would be between the USPS and the shipper, not you).</p>

<p>Various USPS delivery methods require a signature, with no requirement other than a signature. <a href="https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-Restricted-Delivery" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Restricted Delivery</a>, if it is selected by the shipper, may require presentation of <a href="https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Acceptable-Form-of-Identification?ui-force-components-controllers-recordGlobalValueProvider.RecordGvp.getRecord=1&amp;r=5" rel="nofollow noreferrer">acceptable ID</a>, for example a passport. It is not a crime if the mailman neglects to check ID, though it might be against USPS policy (possibly leading to USPS-internal disciplinary action). </p>

<p>You are entitled to file a complaint with USPS, and their investigation might clarify where and to whom the package was delivered, but I would not count on that. It might at least clarify whether the package was shipped Restricted Delivery. You can also seek recourse against the shipper, assuming that you have a contractual relation with the shipper. </p>
