Does this happen at other stations, or do I have a lazy postal team? I’ve always had good luck with the mail in the past.

Thanks for your input

Mail has been a total nightmare in our experience since we came here years ago. It's always something. Would not attempt to relay all through the years, some VERY serious, some just annoying such as constantly (several times a month) getting some piece of mail for another party. Also have had many things ruined by villages postal employees (they are NOT U.S. government employees) taking delicate items and folding, crushing, whatever it takes to MAKE it fit into our pigeon hole of a mail box.... one time managed to push and rip a shoe box until the top came off they were able to shove the shoes in the pigeon hole...LOL... and said, "oh, probably done in in shipping", no, this is something the villages does repeatedly to MAKE things "fit" in the small space. Doubt things will ever change. Have complained, U.S. post office said "that's a private mail system" (???) "can't help you". Villages listen to complaints but never changes ! Lack of "good" employees maybe ?
