Does USPS check your packages?

Does USPS check your packages?

The USPS, as well as partnering law enforcement agencies, simply don’t have the resources to try to figure out where the drugs are coming from and who’s expecting them. However, it would be unfair to fault the USPS in the matter; they are just not equipped to scan and investigate each package.

Why would a package be held at the post office?

USPS is telling people their mail is being held ‘at the request of the customer. When a mail carrier cannot deliver a package on the day it was scheduled because their shift is ending, postal workers say, the system sometimes generates a misleading “held at the request of the customer” message.

Do you go through customs at your layover or final destination?

In almost all cases, if your bags are checked through to your final destination and you already have your onward boarding pass, you’ll go through transit security when you land at your connecting airport instead of customs.

Do I have to go through security again for connecting international flight?

Most (but again, not all) airports connect international terminals airside. When you’re connecting from an international flight to a domestic one, you’ll always have to exit and reenter security as you’ll need to go through customs and immigration (unless you have gone through preclearance aboard, which is rare).

Will my bags make my connection?

Changing your first flight might help, but it’s important to remember that nothing will guarantee that your bag makes the connection. If it doesn’t, the airline will usually deliver it (at their expense) to wherever you’re staying, so as long as you can go a day or two without your bag, you’ll be fine.

Will my luggage go straight through?

Most of the time your bags will be checked all the way through, but if you purchased the connecting tickets separately, they will probably not. Find out ahead of time if your separate airlines offer an interline baggage agreement, which means they will transport a partner airline’s checked bags on their behalf.

How long do you need for a connecting flight?

Consider allowing at least 60 to 90 minutes for a U.S. domestic connection, and at least two hours for an international connection. Airlines usually allow you four hours or more maximum connecting time.

How do I know if my luggage will be transferred?

In any case, the airline employee at your original checkin can tell you whether your luggage is checked through – they’ll often ask you themselves to confirm whether you want that. Usually, an airline checks luggage to the final desination when transfers occurs.
