The postal service is a complete failure. As bad as some 3rd world countries. I get the wrong mail all the time and other people get my mail. Not just at home, but at my po box as well. I've complained several times and nothing has changed for more than a month. Neighbors have the same problem. They're so stupid that they give my building the mail for the building next door.

Lets also factor in that they're spending more, but delivering way less mail. Its a joke.

We don't need it to be privatized, we just need all the management to be replaced and same with MOST the employees which are actually not fit to work at any real job and that's why the government hires them.

I talked with my local postmaster about this. They do care about misdelivered mail and will correct an employee/contractor quickly if you let them know.

The problem is that the Post Office is now heavily relying on temp workers to fill delivery positions, but they do not pay enough to keep the positions filled, so there’s a lot of churn.

Your feedback won’t have much effect until your route is staffed consistently by the same worker.
