I typically get my mail on Sunday and have never met any of the carriers so wouldn't know how to go about making kindness go a long, short, or any other way. Is the inference that if Villages are rude to the delivery people, their packages will get "delayed" for a few days?
I've never experienced a problem with delays but for whatever reason, almost all of my amazon packages are sent via UPS. Now those drivers I know. Also Pizza Hut.  |
Our "carrier" does not drive a USPS truck. He drives his own car, which is a mini van. Even before we gave him and his wife their first Christmas gift card, they went above & beyond the call of duty, delivering packages to our door if they found one addressed to us after we had already picked up our mail, or if it was too big to fit in the box.
And going away, they make it so simple. Just tell them or drop a yellow card in your slot. In MI we had a box at the street. Nobody but the regular mail carrier ever got it right. There was always mail being delivered to us that should have been forwarded. The temps rarely bothered to check at the post office before going out on delivery. I much prefer the way it's done here.
