The postal service here has a lot to be desired. If our "regular" guy is not around, the mail gets delivered very late in the day- by that I mean 10PM or later, or not at all. I never heard of having to place signs on the pick up mailbox to remind the postal worker to take letters that need to be removed. Voicing a complaint to the post office rarely results in an improvement, or at least a recognition that something might be amiss. We know items are lost or not delivered, because we received late payment notifications for the cable bill. It is impossible that we are late with any payment because we always pay the bill immediately. This lousy service has prompted us to step up our on-line banking resource for auto payments and bill notifications. We simply have no confidence in the post office. We do however, have a great relationship with the UPS man. Because our family members live down the street, they happily leave items there or here, if the recipient is not home. When we do get the mail, most of it is junk anyway. If my 88 year old mother can use the Internet for email and other things, the post office needs to get with the program, or go the way of the horse and buggy whip. On the other hand, our postal service was excellent in the Midwest. Not sure why there should be a difference. And there is a lot more rain, sleet and snow there.
