New slogan for the Post Office - Yesterday's mail today!

New slogan - I don't go out after 5PM.

We have not gotten any traction contacting Lady Lake about the postal service, but perhaps if residents go in-person tomorrow, we may start to turn this situation around. I am told that the contracted postal employees are vindictive and when complaints have been posted to Facebook, retaliation occurs. I thought this board was a safer option.

So, what are your issues?

One issue I have is that they will send you an email saying that your package has been delivered, but it has only been dropped off at the postal station, but not delivered into the mailbox. If you show up to collect it, they will tell you that they don't have time to sort through the packages. To me, delivered should mean delivered to the mailbox.

I don't understand why they don't deliver the mail to your house.

Aside from the mail, are Amazon/UPS/Fedex packages delivered directly to your door?

Really, you don't understand? That service has been grandfathered for years. The postal service is non sustaining and the government is reluctant to subsidize. Technology is taking the lead on delivery of stuff you need and order. There really isn't a need for the Postal Service and I suspect that when we die it will eventually die also.

Yes, unless they transfer them to USPS and pay the postage. USPS packages are normally delivered to the postal station, but sometimes they deliver them to your house if they run out locker space at the postal station. Also, there are some high priority USPS packages delivered to your house.
