I sure miss UPS. Ever since they started handing off items to the USPS, I have a heck of a time getting anything on time, or undamaged. I’m not knocking anyone that works for USPS, they have problems that are not entirely caused by them.

Check out this post for a giggle.

I’m not sure how it is in other parts of the US, but the USPS is lazy in our area. I live in a trailer park. Sure, not all trailer parks are great places. I was shocked to find out after moving here, that the post office will not deliver any package to the door. It seems about 2 years ago, they had an irate person give a female postal worker a hard time. So they stopped deliveries to the whole park, citing safety reasons. Funny thing is, I have not seen a female delivery person in the two years I have been here.

I can see the mailboxes from my window, they are about 75 feet from me. Strangely enough, there is a USPS unit that comes from another town and delivers on Sunday, he comes to the house and leaves the package, he doesn’t work for this post office. With our PO, if it doesn’t fit, you have to drive 5 miles into the country and pick it up, hoping they are still open with the weird hours.

Some things get better with time, some don’t.
