USPO Contractors
 

Yes, people bid on jobs at the mail stations. The winners get contracts to deliver mail.

We have had wonderful service here in St Catherine from Lee and Lou. Can't say enough good things about them. Hate to have them lumped into "these gov employees"!!

Lake Deaton post office lady is marvelous, courteous & very good to her customers

“First World Problem”. You could be living—or dying—in Shanghai…just sayin’

Dreaded paint stick
 

Our postal people normally arrive at noon so I wait until 2 to give them time to distribute the mail. Occasionally a paint stick saying "see the postal person" is in my mailbox for a package that will not fit and apparently all the lockers are used up. So at 2 the other day I went to get a package that informed delivery said was there. All that was there was the dreaded paint stick, no postal person. Previously there was a note on the door that said the mail will be done at 4:30. So back I go at 4. No one home. 4 trips before I could get my package. Another time a package was stuffed in from their side that could not come out from my side. I spoke to the girl there and the answer was for my phone number to show at my box instead of the dreaded paint stick. I wonder how much the gov paid for that stick?

So, we should be happy with bad service that we pay for because people are dying in China?

Note to people sending those Hallmark cards with gifts inside…DON’T! Postal workers may be great in TV, however, there is an epidemic of thievery among postal workers opening these cards and stealing gift cards and cash. Packages picked over too. Even checks are thrown away after the card is opened. During the holidays it is very bad!!! There was a study with parents sending cards to kids in College to help them out. I think it was found that only 50% of the kids were receiving them. Also found - the thieves were not opening those long envelopes that look like bills.
I worked with a guy up North (I’m a snowbird) who was a postal worker when all that rioting/smash and stealing was going on in our cities. Those people were stealing USPS, UPS, Fed Ex trucks and scouring them for stuff to sell on EBay and Craigs List. FYI… stealing still happening, just on a smaller scale. Also a note… Postal worker were throwing away mail-in voters ballets. YUP! You may already be aware of what I have written here and you may be very lucky that your stuff has not been picked over, but don’t be naive. Note: UPS and FedEx NOT merging.

Mods. Can you please remove this post.

I'm glad you lucked out.

I, on the other hand, have had numerous misdeliveries and missing items. In seven years of living here, I have had both excellent and terrible service. It's all about who gets assigned to your location.

The answer is to get rid of De Joy, the head of the USPS. He was hired, by the last loser/idiot in the white house, to dismantle the postal service.

I once had a boyfriend named Ditto. His first name was Charlie. I don’t think you’re talking about him, are you?

Which post?

LOLOL….. you must be new here. This has been going on for years now. Don’t bother complaining on here. Nobody cares unless it affects them directly. I still receive mail for someone who hasn’t lived here for 13 years!

yep, your right, just shut the postal service down. It will onlycost 4 to 10 times a much to mail leter thru ups or fedex. Shut down the usps!

Do we need to get Elon Musk in here now so the freedom of speech is NOT an issue?

This is happening to me right now. Ordered from Amazon last Friday and was supposed to be delivered this past Monday. UPS delivered them to the Lady Lake post office early Monday morning for delivery. From there USPS sent the 2 packages to Tallahassee, then to Jacksonville, then to Orlando and finally back to Lady Lake where they have been sitting for 2 days. Amazon refunded my money today and if I ever receive them I get to keep them. Luckily it wasn't anything I needed in a timely manner.

Can we please keep politics out of this

Eight years and no problems. Our GIRL, Heather, at Charlotte even delivers larger (sometimes smaller) packages to our home.
Gets a generous tip at Christmas.

When you are nice to people amazing how well things will work.

I do not know where you are from but your language indicates a sub standard location. What was usps like where you are from?

Absolutely, totally agree. And the opposite is also true, being rude will lead to repercussions.

WTF is wrong with people?

Are you simply unable to have a civil conversation?

That one...

A simply "No Politics" rule does not infringe on your rights...

It's sad that has to be explained, time and time again...

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That train left the station some time ago...

Does the APP tell you all the junk mail coming also??

:shocked::shocked:

All mail.

It's not an app. You sign up on the usps.com website, they scan your mail, and send you email copies. I see some junk mail, but a lot of the oversized items, catalogs, and items that don't include your name are often omitted.

I'm on a first name basis with my wife too. Although sometimes I don't like the first name she calls me.

Cool, thanks I didn't know about that.
:coolsmiley::bigbow:

Very happy with it but often a piece of mail coming thru does not get scanned.

Dhl
 

Dhl is much worse. They are so bad they should go out of business soon hopefully.

I've never had a problem in 10+ years. Must be a local station problem!

I can't remember the last time we had a problem with the Lady Lake or Villages USPO.

Well you said the magic word, government!

Careful, you are sounding like me!

I thought DHL was business only, and I also thought they were already out of business, but yes, I have never had any luck with DHL.
