In Conclusion: You don’t want to do your job, then you either QUIT, or I stop paying you. That’s the way this works. Ever-increasing prices for ever-decreasing service is not the way to encourage people to save your dying dinosaur ass. ):
Oh, and if you *do* like the USPS and think I’m being harsh, then it’s probably best you don’t go on Mail Carrier Reddit and read what actual mail carriers have to say on the subject. Reading what they say to each other and curious customers of their service is not a great way to boost your belief in the USPS.
We recently got a new Mailman, just before I started writing to you. Our old mailman delivered at the same time every day, like clockwork. Our new mailman? Sometimes he delivers our mail at 8:00 AM, sometimes noon, sometimes 8:00 PM, somedays he doesn’t even deliver it at all! With all the online orders people make nowadays, you’d think the postal system would be a lot better than it actually is!
The real question is: If you stop using USPS, who else will you turn to? I’ll be including a stamp in my next letter to you, that way they’ll only be scamming my grandma & not you out of money.
Who else will I turn to? Well, if it comes down to it I’ll build a website that my Correspondents can log into to get their replies to download! You don’t mess with an Internet Wizard when it’s the Internet that has a knife to your throat. >:D
Seriously though, I feel a bit better now that I’ve siphoned that rage out the fingers into Mothra’s keyboard. Amazing therapy, that. (:
Have you heard the recent episode with the Indianapolis Postal Hub? Apparently, it’s went full chaos mode. I ordered some stuff back in November, and it made it to Indianapolis on 12/1. And then straight into the twilight zone. Not heard a word since. A little research showed I most definitely was not alone. The dealer I bought from tried to put a search on the package, but got nothing from the PO. We finally declared the package lost, and he refunded me.
However, I’m afraid it might be spreading. I have another package that just arrived in my home state hub. Usually when it hits there, it’s in my box next day. Even during the holidays. However, I’m now getting the same “In Transit to the Next Facility” msgs, and have been for 2 days…
And don’t get me started on the new route postman who can’t even be bothered to shut our mailbox lid, Leaving me to deal with waterlogged mail. Or a mailbox filled with snow…
Oh, great. That would explain why my mom has issues getting my mail. /;
gotta say, these replies aren’t bolstering my confidence in betterment. A crisis in FAITH! :P
