Post office

[itsaz]

Don't get me started about the Post Office
I have rural delivery but should be called rude delivery
I don't get all my mail, I get other people's mail.
Mail I send now takes longer
And Banks are now advising they do not recommend mailing checks
But, the price of stamps keep going up

I have exactly the same problem. Mail gets misdelivered, checks get lost, mail delivered after dark on weekdays. They even lost a certified letter.
Tried to call the local Postmaster and his voicemailbox was full.
Went to see him in person and his office was locked.
The Postmaster General covers his ears when questioned by members of Congress.

I have started receiving and paying bills electronically. I refuse to support the USPS's inefficiency.

Think about all those checks you haven't gotten!

Sadly, the inheritance from the Saudi prince was never received.

My wife's post office has city mail carriers and rural mail carriers. My wife is a city carrier. The difference in her office is the city carriers are in one union, the rural carriers are in another union. Both groups are postal employees, yet they can't crossover routes. In her office the rural carriers drive postal vehicles and not personal vehicles and they do not receive milage payment. My wife's route is right next to the rural route. At one point of her route, they have mailboxes right next to each other that they deliver to. If they both get their at the same time, no one could tell any difference between one or the other.

If you would like to know more details, here is the link to NRLC contract. https://www.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2021-2024-Special-Contract-Edition_FINAL.pdf

It is the current one that they are working under. City Carriers are currently negotiating their contract and still working under their old contract.
