There's one main mail carrier who delivers your stuff and he's slacking. He'll continue to get away with this if you don't complain.

UPS and FedEx are no better. I guarantee if you had a problem with one of those services, you'd complain. I've had a FedEx guy park across the street from my house three times, only to not deliver my laptop (I think he was just letting his truck get a GPS fix on him being there) and I only finally got it when I chased the truck and then his eyes were totally bloodshot. Guy didn't even get out of his damn truck.

In my particular case, the postmaster is part of the problem, and doesn't really care too much about anything but the policy, even when it means mail is being refused delivery. The oversight office complains that this branch doesn't pick up the phones - and places where they are asked to contact you about a problem, they do not. So yeah, depends totally on the branch, but they seem to know they have immunity.

I have very good luck with UPS. And again, I think that depends on the driver/route/branch/etc.

I used to use DVD service a lot at my old address and it was great, I wouldn't attempt it right now.
