I guess I can't complain about our PO. The tellers are always friendly and I usually don't have to wait more than 5 minutes or so for service (more at Christmas time of course but that's to be expected).

 

Well here is one for you. My wife and I have lived in our current home since Jan 1st. We lived here last year but moved out for a few months and lived with her parents(BIG mistake but that is another story) and then moved back. Well My wife was getting a 401K check from her employer. They have the correct address as she has received numerous mailings from them and she gets normal mail all the time. Well yesterday it finally comes in but has 2 yellow stickers on it. On the letter, it has our correct address, yet these people tried to forward to our old address which has a different post office route as its about 35 miles from here and in a different county. Well they then forward it BACK to our address and they finally delivered it.

We should have had this at least last Wednesday, but we didn't get it until Tuesday with Monday being a holiday.

 

Yah. The post office I go to is slow. They take all this time answering the customers questions and getting them what they want. That take FOREVER! Then when they get to me....

....they take the time to answer my questions and get me what I need.

Yah, they seem slow. I just go there when I'm not in a rush. I don't expect others to rush because I'm in a rush.

Ever eat at McDonalds? They're slow and they have about ten pimple faced, obnoxious, teen agers making your meal. Not to mention the food is horrible for you. I don't eat there. I make my own food.

 

5 minutes . . . good grief!

If I'm in the valley or the city . . . forget it. My jaunt to the post office the other day was in the valley. Time spent waiting in line . . . over 40 minutes. Three wndows open.

I can't wait till I'm out in the country. I want to see what 5 minute waits are like . . . (with people who speak English as their primary language).

Time will tell.

 

Ohh come on... I need some new sig material.


Edited to add:
As I say that you edit my sig... classic timing.

 

LMAO! RP this guy has some crazy quotes from you. Haven't you really said this stuff and what rocks and minerals were you sifting through at the time?

Gotta love small towns!

 

Here's the part I just love. The neighborhood I live in has the "communal" or whatever they're called mailboxes, the one you have to go down the street to get your mail. For years this are was called a "rural route", even though we're well inside the Austin, Tx city limits and always have been. Never been anything rural about it. The "rural routes" hire contractors to deliver the mail, not USPS employees. Very rarely would there be a piece of mail in our box that was for another address, maybe once every couple of months. For the last 3 years it's no longer "rural" and USPS employees deliver. I have mail for other addresses in my box at least 3 times a week now, sometimes every day.
I've called the postmaster at the main station our mail is routed through twice to bring it to his attention and he was very nice and said it would be addressed with the carrier, but nothing has changed. I know that there's mail I've never received, I assume whoever got it just threw it out, tho sometimes I'll find a letter sitting on my porch.

Don't get me wrong, I'm amazed too that the USPS is able to do what it does every single day (for the most part).

I'm glad that the postal worker here admitted that they will intentionally mis-route mail too.

As a Fedex courier I'd be fired in short order for mis-routing packages, it happens all the time although it's 99% of the time that the courier doesn't pay attention to what they're doing, not intentional. Nevertheless, it will cost you your job.

And Fedex appreciates the $1 billion + that USPS pays us to lug mail with our lift.
