My regular postal carrier is wonderful. He's helpful, polite, and he always checks to be sure we have the correct mail. I just hope he doesn't get moved to another route, because every single time we get a good mail carrier, they are moved to another route. It's absolutely maddening to keep dealing with the inept carriers!
*One carrier had a really bad attitude, and I ended up asking my husband to deal with the problem. I stopped the new carrier and tried to explain that we have our name and address on the mailbox, as well as an 8x10" sign above it. Despite this, he put the wrong mail in my box. He snipped at me that he doesn't read the name, just the address. I said the address was wrong. He raised his voice and told me if I had an address on my mailbox, he would have known. I pointed to the name and address (written around the box and also written on the flap). He began yelling at me!
*One carrier threw my mail on the wet ground as it was raining. He didn't even try to deliver it to the box!
*One guy stood on the sidewalk and threw the stack of mail towards my porch. Mail went flying everywhere, so I called my husband to talk to the carrier. My husband was driving home and saw the carrier a three houses up the street. The guy flat out lied and denied it, even as my husband said I saw him do it!
*One carrier was in ripped sweat pants and tshirt and was so busy talking on her phone the entire time that she wasn't paying any attention to her job.
*Several carriers refuse to deliver to my house when they hear my dogs barking, even though my front door is closed.
*The latest substitute carrier keeps delivering mail from a completely different street and with a completely different name. The only thing similar is the number!
*We've had a few substitute carriers deliver mail for my neighbors, not deliver my package, or give us mail from several streets over.
The manager I used to talk to was moved to another location. He was very helpful dealing with delivery issues. Unfortunately now I cannot get decent help to fix these ongoing problems. It's very frustrating to deal with time and time again. read more
