About the middle of the month I got mail for a guy in the next block.Have you tried filling out one of the complaint cards at thepost office (or maybe online, not sure how well those work)?When I used the card several years ago, one copy went to somecentral location, so it gets tracked. This means that (intheory) your local postmaster can't just ignore your complaints.You could also try complaining to your congressperson. While thePost Office is not a government agency, they do get funding andI believe they don't like it when members of congress complainto them.BillPlease inform us - exactly what "funding" does the USPS get today?Feel free to provide references.http://usps.com/history/cs03/By law, the Postal Service normally is authorized to receivethree types of appropriations from the federal government. Theseinclude appropriations for public service, transitional costs, andrevenue forgone. Currently, appropriations are made for revenueforgone, and they accounted for less than 0.1 percent of total revenuein 2003. During 1971, the year preceding the creation of the PostalService through the Postal Reorganization Act, these appropriationstotaled almost 25 percent of total Postal Service revenue.The Postal Service currently is authorized to request up to $460million for public service costs. This is the amount authorized bystatute in 1970 and is not intended to represent the present cost ofproviding universal service. The Postal Service has neither requestednor received any public service reimbursement since 1982. This is theequivalent of returning $9.2 billion to the United States governmentand taxpayers.
