Fuck you the US Mail.
I have had an increasing amount of problems, but never as much at my current address. I bought a detached condo, which is great except for a few things. One of them being a shared mailbox strip (like an apartment). Also, the complex made addresses within one digit of each other. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, because the other streets don't start in the same range (thousands digits), nor is the city big yet where the development is.
So the US mail. I guess the close addresses throws them off. This is not only a courier issue, but a sorting issue. I have had at least 5 mis-delivered pieces of mail in my box, off by a digit or two. Secondly, I had an envelope that was destined to go to Florida come to Ohio because the return address digits were the same as mine.
I had my professional license upgrade delayed, due to untimely mis-delivery. As a result, I could have been passed over for my pending position, all thanks to the US Mail.
Further, I have had two checks NOT come to my house on time, with one needing to be reissued. And of the course the top of the mountain, two packages now delivered to the WRONG FUCKING ADDRESS. Also, someone else's package was delivered to my house, so that actually is three basically. And of course packages have a monetary value, with some not been insured, or some not through a big cooperation. I know it's probably a federal crime, but who can really trace a mis-delivered package when someone kept the contents? Further, this one indicated that it was delivered to a box. No way to track it, and no way to keep the fucker accountable. I had a mis-delivered iPod before that was my fault, and the person opened it and all. I'm sure they gave it a whirl, before thanks be to FedEx came to their door to take it back.
Lived here for many years one would think? Nope, a little less than 1.5 years.
I have sent a letter UPS before, and paid 10 more dollars because USPS is such a piece of shit. I'm really sorry that the internet destroyed most of their business, and I do not envy couriers, especially ones who walk up to every residence. However, my complex does not have one of those, and the person can sit at one location and dump mail in. And they know what they got into, so just do your fucking job and do it well. Some people really depend on stuff that gets sent through you. If I didn't have a total lack of faith in them, I would throw more shipping business their way.
These are little mistakes that I would have probably been fired for in a past career, doing rank & file. Instead, I have to just take it because it is USPS. I never dealt with a sorrier bunch of rank-and-file incompetence in my life, and my present gig has complete fools for rank-&-file staff.
