To begin with MY long time Mail Carrier is not part of this complaint, the ''Fill In'' personnel however are, I suppose thinking it isn't their route so who cares..
Damaged Mail Box 3 times already never reported but the one time I followed the individual who damaged it with the broken glass he left behind from the mirror that hit the box, he looked at me in a dumbfound way and obviously lied and said he didn't know he did it..
Never reported it, figured maybe someone's living, livelihood etc is at stake so not important enough to make an issue of with the Post Office however people who receive mail at his zip code should know.
Next is delivery, untrue reasons for no delivery such as obstacles to the mail box when there is absolutely zero obstructions and I'm out on the porch waiting for the package being tracked and the truck goes right by with the 4 way flashers on without delivering my package supposedly "Out for Delivery'' according to the tracking I've been following for 12 days now on a lawn mower part coming from New Jersey, 1500 miles away.
So you call the local post office and a pick up and hang up to a long ringing phone call I made and then on the national level I'll assume is the 1 800 number called and a maze of Hurdles and button pressing and yes and no answers I get to the recording telling me I'll have an almost 2 hour wait until a representative can speak to me and that is just an estimate..
Needless to say with all of the talk about the post office losing 68 Billion dollars to this date and no profit made in a half century or more I doubt I'll miss the place since it is nothing like it used to be even as short as 10 years ago around here.
I'd advise using another source for packages and going to electronic messages for things that are now Paper Mailed and I haven't touched upon wrong mail to and from neighbors here which does happen now and then but what I consider routine since it is not every day and most neighbors are honest and so far so good in that area.
Some things that happened at the distant end with the Post Office:
Lost a "Nok Hockey'' board'' as well as other items, that via Fulshear Texas Post Office and the board is approximately 5 feet by 3 feet in an even larger box and Ridgewood/Glendale NY claims to have delivered an also tracked package with the recipient on the distant end home waiting for it the day it was delivered and it wasn't but of course the paper trail claims it was left with the intended recipient.
I go around the Post Office any way possible and I am disappointed when my deliveries get involved with so called ''Smart Post'' which only puts a clog in things time wise when delivery is concerned or loses the items to what I suspect is pure THEFT! read more
