I've lived in TV for 6 years in 3 different neighborhoods and I've filed numerous complaints, recieved someone's package, had someone bring mine to me and recieved notices that my package was delivered to my home that wasn't delivered to my home or mailbox. I have security cameras to prove it wasn't delivered. The last 2 times I waited at home all day with my front door open so I wouldn't get a "sorry we missed you" note. Both times the missed delivery note was put in my mailbox. Both items were expensive and required a signature. I went to Lady Lake and spoke to the supervisor. 3 days later they responded to my complaints and gave me my packages. The emails stated employee was running late and needed to get off work on time so that's why she didn't deliver my packages. It didn't explain why she said the failed attempt to deliver was my fault! The supervisor explained that my packages would be sent back to Germany if I wasn't home for the next attempt at delivery. It took 3 weeks for these packages to get here and would've taken months to get them back all because the postal worker didn't have time and said it was my fault. The investigation was closed and the postal worker was not fired or reprimanded as far I can tell. I recently received the wrong package while getting my mail and the postal worker was still there at the station. I knocked on the door and explained I recieved someone's package in my box. He took it and said "you can leave now" in a hurry and shut the door.

I always pay more for delivery if the USPS is the default option. DHL is great for packages from overseas.
