The best way to deal with it is to not use the U.S. Post Office. I try to order everything from Amazon with a one or two day delivery schedule. That way, Amazon will most likely use their own trucks to deliver the package because USPS cannot meet the one or two day delivery schedule. Personally, I would like to see the USPS service shut down entirely, or at least allow customers to cancel their account.
The problem with USPS is the USPC, in the past two years I have had a box key show up in my keyed mail box for things I didn't order, addressed to some one else, on two other occasions thigs were were "delivered " never showed up , never ship anything of value by USPS unless it is insured, as to the poster if you did not receive the item do not pay for it, just because the USPS said they delivered it what proof can they show they did UPS and Amazon can show the package sitting at your location , USPS has a scan it arrived at the local station , meaningless
