More often than not, when an attempt is made to deliver a package to me requiring a signature, the letter carrier will scribble minimal information on the slip and leave it. Today I got a shipment from Europe, and the sender switched the addresses so mine was on top. Funny how it came to the right address, but the dipstick wrote the senders name on the slip as the recipient. Is it that tough being a letter carrier? Think about it. For 37 cents, someone will come to your house, place of business, or where ever, pick up your letter and sent it to where ever you want within the US. Another person will then place the letter in the appropriate mail box. I would say the USPS is a pretty good deal. Kent Uhhh. They make like profit in the billions, and you're telling me Lost of people have lots of mail to send. So? that when I get in line at the post office for a half hour, or have to chase down a package because the carrier put the wrong date on the slip, or I send checks to California that never get delivered, that I'm somehow getting a good deal? I don't think so. How often does this loss occur versus the total number of packages sent? Very rarely. I've never had to track a package down when I've had it sent via the USPS. The same is true of UPS and FedEx as well.I've had SEVERAL failures on the part of United Parcel. People call meup and my stuff has been delivered at the wrong address. My wife senta $400 dress from New York to our house in the Midwest because she didnot want to carry it the rest of the day and UPS lost it.Fed Ex?? Friend who was a photographer was told by TIME magazine itlooked like he had a photograph they would use in their next issue IFFFFhe could get it to them by the next day. He drove 60 miles to theregional FedEx guarantee-next-day-delivery to dispatch his photo. Itnever arrived; he lost a $1,000 sale.
