Phoebe70, that is just horrible. About two weeks ago, my neighbor came over with a handful of my mail (two MS checks were in the pile). The next day, I tried calling the post office, but the line was busy all day long. So, I called the toll free number and complained. The customer service rep then sent an email to my local post office telling them about the problem and gave me a confirmation number. The next day, here comes my neighbor with more mail. So, I made a trip to my local post office and stood in line for 20 minutes. I finally made my way to the counter, explained the situation and the lady asked me to wait. So, I waited for another five minutes and here comes a supervisor. I explained the situation again and he assured me that he would talk to the carrier, but he couldn't guarantee that it would not happen again. Oh, by the way, I asked the supervisor if he received the email and he told me that he receives at least 50 emails a day and he doesn't have time to read all of them (OMG - are you kidding! I wanted to clobber him at this point). Well, guess what, I received a call from our credit card company to let me know that my statement had been returned. Apparently, it was delivered to another neighbor, who didn't want to walk across the street. So, back to the post office I went, only to find out the supervisor was on vacation! I was livid. The lady told me she would have the supervisor call me in a couple of days -- I am still waiting for the call. This past Saturday, I waited at the mailbox for the carrier and gave him an earful. He was oblivious as to why I was so concerned. Anyway, that's my story - thanks ya'll for listening. I saw on the boards that my post office is shopped -- thinking seriously of doing it.
