We only deliver the mail to u and when it is not picked up we have to service our other customer which is the mailer. The rules are and what most request is that it is returned to them. So the only delay of mail was on ur part...not picking it up and I am sure u would not like to be prosecuted for that.
Sorry, YOU are wrong.

You assume that I wasn't picking up my mail regularly. I never said that. I picked up my mail daily most times. It was rare that I didn't pick it up every day and I never missed it two days in a row. It was a lame excuse put forth by the postmaster. Postal regulations state that if the mail doesn't fit in the box, ALL mail should be pulled and a notification placed in the box directing the customer to pick up their mail at the post office. That never happened. I continued to receive mail on a daily basis and never had any indication that there was excess mail being held. Putting the mail in the parcel box was not the "only" thing the employee did wrong. The postal worker did not give me the benefit of the doubt. They failed to follow postal regulations and caused some of my mail to be delayed up to 2 months. The parcel locker didn't "fill up". The delayed mail was all placed there on one day, not over a period of MONTHS. The mail stacked up in the little hut for those months. The delay of mail was on "ur" coworkers part (or perhaps YOU were the culprit), not mine. In my opinion "ur" coworker was lazy, negligent and criminal.
