F*ck the post office

[Cletonius]

The post office sucks ass. My wife ships 5-7 packages a week for her business, all insured signature required, at least one per month comes up missing. I don't see how, each address is verified on usps.com and has the correct zip+4 and is computer printed in large font. Lazy fucks. And pray you don't have something go lost and try to make an insurance claim.....

I'm always paranoid when I have a package coming and it's being delivered by USPS. I know one day they're going to screw it up.

Get a PO box.

Done.

I'm going to celebrate when the day finally comes that they permanently shut down the entire US postal service.

Get a PO box.

Done.

Beat me to it.

It's $40/yr in California, not sure about where you are. Check it once a week or so, done deal.

The problem is its so sporadic, mailman can either be amazing or a lazy asshole. I've had both and the lazy asshole can seriously fuck you over. Mailman for my office is great, I will put out candy for him sometimes and he stays awesome. The guy who randomly fills in for him is probably mentally retarded.

Get a P.O Box???

I move around so much as a student that a PO box doesn't make a ton of sense yet. I'll probably do that when I actually have a house, though.

I <3 the USPS, they bring me sooooo many bmw parts
I hope the mail delivery service never gets privatized. I like the fact it is a federal offense to open mail that is not addressed to you... where as ups and fed-ex can open boxes if they choose

and only one lost so far in years and 10's of thousands of dollars of dealing with the usps (a strut bar I am currently waiting on as a matter of fact)

op: you just have a LAZY delivery guy.... COMPLAIN IN WRITING it will get fixed

I have actually, but with 14000 people in the building, I don't think that would help my chances...

wow...is this in chinatown ? ;)

and, may i suggest, get a p.o. box, or have it shipped to your work, or pickup at the local office ?

sad to hear your woes, and i can empathise with ya...as ups doesn't leave mail at my address any longer, (its policy) but at least i can get my stuff shipped to my work...always someone here, front desk, security, and we all know each other, so its always delivered..
plus business packages usually arrive before any home delivery
