USPS just cost me $6

[LVSteve]

Renewed my tags online just before Thanksgiving, so I was expecting a delay in them coming in the mail. After three weeks, still no tags. Contacted the DMV and they confirmed 1) they have my money, 2) they sent out the tags 25 November.

Replacement tags are costing me $6 for something that isn't my fault. I was tempted just to carry on for twelve months with the online receipt in the glove box and call it done.

They will show up as soon as the replacement tags arrive.

Yes, it's like putting another.....

Yes, it's like putting another quarter into the slot machine to push the last one through.

If your low on beans..
I can spot you some cash to
see you thru this financial crisis .

It's the principal of the thing....

Onetime years ago they lost a mortgage payment on me. I canceled the check. A year later a crumpled letter was returned to me.

Wonder if someone with sticky fingers appropriated your tags, assuming it is just the little plate tags like here in Iowa?

Maybe get by a first blush from a LEO??

I buy allot of stuff online. And sometimes I get packages from China, faster than I do two states away. And watching the tracking information recently, my package shipped from Pennsylvania went on a nation wide tour? How would it go to Dallas and then back to Memphis to Nashville from Pennsylvania?

Go figure??

Be happy that's the short route!

Just think, you'll have a spare set for only 6 bucks.

You're just paying the separate shipping and handling charges.

Next UPS truck you see, let out $6 bucks worth of air in their tires, and call it even.

Same here, only it was three books from Germany I had ordered. I got them in three days, while waiting for something shipped same day in Texas which took two weeks.

Sorry you have to go through this. I've never had a tag delayed or lost but it would be a real problem with season dates.
I've had my fun with the USPS...
Sent a Registered mail with a property deed to the new owner. It never arrived and that was 6 years ago. USPS said it went to Denver but it has never been seen since. So much for Registered.
When I paid off my home, the mortgage company mailed me my leftover funds. The check arrived 3 years later. By then, I had the company replace the check but the USPS never even noted a delay on the 3 year old piece of mail.

That's what I wold do. They can call in your plate and the computer will tell them the registration is current. That and your receipt should do as far as avoiding a ticket unless the cop is a real richard. However those expired tags WILL give them Probable Cause to pull you over-and if your luck runs like mine, they'll find that dead body in your trunk

Yep, the registration tag is a little peel and stick thing you put on your plate every year.

I wondered the same thing. Let's say my tags got dropped in the wrong mailbox and that person is strapped for cash or just plain bent. As you say, at first glance it's a valid tag.

Then there are those who simply bin anything in their mail that has the wrong name, rather than putting it out for the mailman to have another go.

Steve, it's Very Sad, what was once one of the most elite and respected postal services in the world, has become a laughing stock.

I will never again trust the U.S.P.S. with any thing important, and that, sir is a sad commentary

Mr. Cajun, I always believed that one was allowable in LA, but for two or more some $$$$ had to change hands

Any problem that can be fixed for $6 ain't a problem.
