You would think they would go broke. Thats about as wasteful as Amazon putting small items in huge boxes. Stupidity.

Last week THRU this week, I’ve had pkgs and letters
“misplaced” by EVERY SINGLE CARRIER IN THE U.S..!!!
Idk what to try next.??
Other than delivering them myself..& that ain’t happening..
I certainly can’t drive to CA. or NY for $36.00.!!

Good thing one no longer can send small children through the mail. Although the child would get a thorough tour of the US. At least the post offices...

It's not really a rant when its everyday life effecting a man and the country doing business. It's a plague of disturbing facts about failure. With all the technology to track and route shipping, why?
It's not getting better.

Plus mail theft is a huge problem… the entire mailbox was stolen the the legs cut and I had posted several payments that evening.

Can’t leave them out anymore at the home mailbox so I thought the big collection box would be safer… I am wrong.
