Do Postal Workers Read Cannabis.com?

Rant about USPS.

I paid over six dollars for Priority mail delivery of a small package, containing an electronic part, from an Ebay vendor, and the letter-carrier leaves a notice in my box today that I wasn't home (I was) and that it will be available after 11/23 (day after Thanksgiving) for pickup or redelivery. This package could have been left in my box, but maybe it had to be signed for, or possibly the envelope was too large. Ebay makes the rules, and would not allow the package to be sent to an address other than the billing address, such as my wife's job, and the USPS screws you. I think that the letter-carrier was too lazy to bring it up to my door in the elevator. We use to have a good mailman on this route, an AMERICAN, who was friendly and cooperative, but he's gone.

In addition, my local post office no longer has package pickup - that function has been moved to another location, further from where I live, so I'll have to make a trip there on Friday and "maybe" it will be there, and hopefully not broken.

It's time to privatize the USPS. End of rant, and time to light up.

Oh I know what you mean. My mail lady used to thumb through my cosmopolitains. I would get them late and the pages would be ear marked and bent.

....crazy bitch.

You know i never understood the whole postal workers going postal thing. I mean its an easy job, good salary, government hosted. Make your own hours i think(my mailman can deliver the mail anywhere between 12:00 and 6:30PM)
I dont think that is right. I thought by 4 is the deadline but not my mailman. haha

We had a worker at the U.S. post office that serves our area tamper with a package, pull it out of the to-be-delivered mail at the post office and stuff it angrily a week later, long after it should have been back with the people at Land's End, back in our home mailbox like it was mistakenly returned to the sender . He did this after I complained about something at the post office that was a problem he'd caused. I'm sure he broke several laws in the process, but he knows full well that without video evidence we have no proof of what he did. I should have complained to the postmaster again after that little display, but I want to continue receiving mail without further tampering from that sorry cretin.

That incident left a really sour taste in my mouth about the post office. We go out of our way not to use that place anymore unless there's no other alternative. Incompetence has reigned at the USPS for far too long.

Another thing that happened was the removal of a name plate that is actually inside the mailbox, visible but behind a piece of clear plastic (which is also gone) - leaving a hole in the box that makes the lock accessible to outsiders, and the contents visible to anyone that cares to look. There was no way anybody but the mailman, or myself, could have done this. I have no idea if this was an accident or whatever, but I don't think that it was retaliation because I have never put in a complaint or had any exchanges with the mail carriers since I've lived here. I did put a note inside my mail box to "Please Repair", but it has been ignored.

Come to think about it, Iâ??d better remove that note - the mail carrier(s) may resent it.

When you're dealing with cretins and simpletons, sometimes you just can't win.

It could have been worse, if you'd had a mail 'man' they might have been delivered with the pages stuck together. Eeww lol

I work for a subcontractor for the usps. They are tring to privatize the wrong part off the usps. The workers actually do a fairly decent job its management that is a complete cluster fuck. They tend to be complete idiots.

Its also amazing how muuch the low level managers are getting paid. Ones that are just working on the dock making sure mail gets put in the right trailers are making over $35 an hour in the Seattle area. A little high for just a dock worker.
