MAIL RANT!

[Desertnate]

I try to avoid doing anything with USPS if at all possible... It's a total disaster in my area. My mail carrier actually griped at me for ordering stuff on line because she didn't like having to walk the box to my front door. The box weighed less that two pounds and was about the size of a cantaloupe...

The fun one recently for us was the discovery one day that main in our box with the flag up remained after 2 days. We started talking to neighbors and found out our entire neighborhood hadn't had ANY mail service for five days! Called our servicing post office and they told us all of our mail was there for pick up if we wanted it. Our normal mail carrier was away from work for a few days and they simply didn't assign the route to anyone else while they were gone.

My wife does some work as a private contractor. The businesses she serves are very old school and mail paper checks for payment. If the mail isn't delivered, she doesn't get paid.

WOW! Very sad.
