I just want to see if this is just me or has anyone else noticed the USPS being terrible.
Specifically in my neighborhood, over the last 10 years they constantly misdeliver mails.
But more recently, my wife and I still use checks that we mail to the electric company, internet service etc. We are old school, well because we are old. In the last few months they have not delivered checks to our various services on multiple occasions.
I know that the deep state wants us to not use checks, but is this a conspiracy? or is it just the post office in my area?
Absolutely terrible. I have a postman who is nice and does a great job. He knows my neighbor and I sign for each other and he will hit either one of up for both. His sub that works on the days he doesn't will mark packages delivered that aren't (I swear she tosses them in the trash somewhere), doesn't leave slips and just takes the packages back to the PO and they won't let you pick them up without a slip, and she marks properly addressed mail as 'no known number/address' so so many things get returned to sender.
I have submitted a handful of complaints and they say they don't have to deliver to the complex which is insane since I can't pick up packages from the PO without a slip. The more I complain, the worse it gets.
UPS and FedEx just lie about delivery attempts of anything remotely heavy. I report them and the support person just argues with me. I have cameras and I'm home all day. If I am not I leave a note to leave it with my neighbor.
They are all getting worse. Amazon is a nightmare, but that's a whole other story. I swear they hire people who can't read.
I'm considering paying for a UPS store box. I wish I could opt out of USPS.
A private mail service box is worth its cost. First, they get bulk batches for that address and this tends to keep mail from getting lost. Second, they accept packages and often have a good relationship with package carriers. Third, they often keep an accurate record of deliveries, so you can prove whether something was delivered or not unlike to your house door.
Amazon uses both
Before I decided to boycott Amazon, I got Amazon deliveries straight to the mailbox service.
Physical correction can solve or eliminate the problem.
