US Post Office

I was expecting a package with a present for my daughter. I have a package release form on file with the post office. But apparently a substitute carrier was on Saturday because I received a notice of non delivery because the carrier didn’t read the notices for the route. So Monday I sign the tag and put it in the mailbox so they can redeliver the package on Tuesday.
We’ll, Tuesday happened to be a heavy rain day and everybody in the state new that it would rain all week. The dark clouds kind of gave it away. Apparently everyone new except for my mail carrier who left my daughters present outside exposed to the rain. Common sense would dictate a plastic bag? UPS does it all the time. I don’t have any complaints about UPS. But the USPS can’t use a. 5 cent plastic bag to protect a package? I guess they like paying claims?
Maybe this is why the mail never gets to where it’s supposed to be until they feel like getting it there. I had another package that looked like it was run over by a truck. Perhaps the USPS should start caring about the customers and not what they’ll get out of the next union negotiations.
Oh yeah and as for the package? I’ll let the sender file the damage claim. Next time I’ll request UPS. From now on I’ll have to leave a plastic bag stuffed in the back of the mail box since the USPS can’t afford them. If they did postage would go up again.

This is the USPS location for the entire south valley. It’s small and always busy line out the door busy. Some employees are extremely nice but just as many can be rather unpleasant. The location isn’t in the best area and can look shady although I’ve never had any issues.
