USPS

my local post office is on my last damn nerve. While we all know they are incapable, uncaring, and disinterested in performing their duties, this willful disregard for the service they are supposed to supply can cause a lot of problems. I'm now to the point of having to hand-deliver mail in town because it's too important to allow the USPS to lose it. Which they do, constantly.

I have been waiting on a box for 10 days or so now. I was irritated that it was taking so long, and i just looked up my confirmation # and sure enough, it's listed as DELIVERED. This is inaccurate. it was NOT delivered. But what can I do now? The shipper is going to say Too Bad. USPS is going to look confused and then say Too Bad. So I'm out the $50 the item cost.

We lost a record setting 7 checks last month. they were mailed, and then just vanished in the mail. So then I have to call the client, bother them, and then beg for them to reissue a check. All because the USPS is completely incapable.

not much to add really, except that it can really ruin your Friday.
