I have to go to the Post Office quite regularly and I have always found the people there helpful and the line moves pretty well.

Many times my carrier gets out of her vehicle in the rain (snow, sleet, gloom of night :D) to put my large bundles on my porch when it would be so much easier for her to simply put one of those "pick up your big mail package at the post office" cards.

In Portland, the postman not only does that, but they will take a crap in your yard. (no joke)

There is hope!

This is how it was done back in the day around our parts of the mud ball we call Earth. Hope the pony can make it!

In our neck of the woods it was the American Indian(locals) that would prove to be a issue for the riders from time to time.

My fiance's diploma came the other day in a cardboard envelope that said in big bold letters "DO NOT BEND"

Our idiot mail carrier folded it in half and stuffed it in the mailbox. :damn:

I use USPS to ship things regularly and always pay the $.75 for delivery confirmation. Otherwise you are SOL if the item isn't received. No one to complain to, no way to know if it ever got there, or if someone working for the PO just stole it, or what. Other than that I have little to gripe about.

About 25 years ago, I ordered a piece of software on 5.25 inch floppy. It came in an envelope marked Do not bend. The postman bent it in half and stuffed it in my apartment mail box.

The floppy disk was bent in to a "V". I took the disk to the post office to register a complaint. I had the "V" disk on the counter. The post office employee actually asked me "well did you try using the disk?" :/\\!!

Alas, at that time my computer only had the old fashioned flat floppy disk drives so I was out of luck.
