[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 353057, member: 1233"] Very little of what goes on with the Postal Service makes sense. At least not to me. The USPS HAS suffered majorly in the last few decades though. The private companies like UPS and fedex and DHL, email, and other services have all really cut into their business. They really must work to stay competitive. Sadly more and more areas are going through the cutbacks you see. I HATE going in on Saturday as the line is usually out the door and they rarely have enough people working. Then, if you are more than 30 people back at 15 min before close they send you home! They herd you into the inner lobby and close the doors. It is hot, usually stinky, and a PITA. I HATE our mail carrier. I sent one package to my aunt because my mom went out of town. It had clothes mom modified for my aunt to wear after surgery. It never arrived! I did the scheduled pickup and it came back to me 2 years later!!! It never even left our post office! My mail is sometimes left out on the road because she drops it out of her vehicle, she puts boxes in all sorts of crazy places including the old car that doesn't run, she once even opened the front door and walked in to put it on the table!!!! I was in the bathroom and came out and FREAKED!! So I totally hear your rant!! I am sorry they are such a PITA!!!!! If they will not deliver to your home, why do you have to pay for a box? What if you don't choose to pay and I send you something anyway? Don't they have to deliver to your house? I thought it was one of those "free" services we received because we are citizens of the US. I know most new homes have to have boxes at the road, or developments have to put in a central mail box location, but that still gets free delivery. Why are you not entitled to the free delivery that I receive and most others receive? Sending gentle hugs to soothe your ranting mind! [/QUOTE]
