This has been my PO for less than a year; we live on auxiliary route where we don't have a regular carrier. We travel occasionally and put our mail on hold; at least 6 times and it's been screwed up EVERY time. I resorted to duct taping my mailbox shut. Mostly (still had mail and package delivered on 2 occasions;) it's worked. Picked up mail today after a 30 day hold. I'm missing some very important mail! Scripts, bank cards, packages. I know because I have "informed delivery". Oh and I also got mail that wasn't ours or our address.
I also happen to be a USPS retiree "sacrificing" 27 years of my life. I mostly opt for paper and mail delivery versus electronic,... after all my pension comes from the USPS. I will go forward using electronic delivery of important documents, and local pharmacies for prescriptions. Not impressed after multiple chances. read more
