I understand exactly how you feel Muz but there is simply nothing we can do about it but ... rant, rant and more rant. I suppose that's the only way to make yourself feel better.

 

I sent a few packages internationally in Late Sept thru Early Oct, and a few did not arrive at all YET! I think they were rerouted to SeaMail or something. Just what I need...my packages floating around the world in a damn ocean contaner!

 

Yes!

They have lost several pieces of mail, both inbound and out, over the past while including a check from American Express for over a thousand dollars that was mailed Oct. 2nd and hasn't arrived and a document I sent to Krazik which he never received that I sent more than a month ago. Stuff goes in the box and never comes out. You can can say "well 90% gets delivered" but what happens to the other 10%?

It's funny that the only stuff that gets mishandled is first class. There is a never ending stream of flyers, coupons and mail addressed to "current resident" that fill up my mail box right on schedule. I asked them to stop delivering that crap and they told me that if someone pays to have it delivered they are required by law to deliver it. There seems to be a notable exception for important mail.

 

Nope. The U.S.P.S. is no longer a federal office. They bought themselves out or something along those lines. Funny how it's still a federal crime to tamper with the mail.
