My post carrier is the poster child for why the postal service is failing so miserably.  I have complained in the past about his inability to deliver my mail and only my mail to me, but this is just icing.  Last week I get a little card stating they have mail for me that I can either pick up or sign this card for them to reattempt to deliver it.  Okay, so I fill out the card - note, the box that says you MUST be present to sign at redelivery is NOT checked - and put it back outside.  It is taken the next day.  Today I get another little card reiterating they have something for me that I can pick up at the post office or have them reattempt to delivery it if I complete the card.  It also says they'll return the package to the sender on 3/6.  Once again nothing checked to indicate I can't just complete the card and get my article.

Since clearly the mail carrier didn't process the last one right I instead call the postal service to request redelivery.  After 5 minutes on the phone the lady tells me I have to be here to sign for it.  I note that is not marked on the card and she repeats that I must be there, so when will I be here for them to deliver it.  I tell them after 5pm, she says they can't guarantee a time.  So I say next Saturday and she tells me they can only hold this type of mail for a week and they've already had it for however many days.

Really?  Seriously?  I don't know what it is, so just send it back then.  You were paid for a service, one you are obviously not capable of executing.  Either give me my mail or go away.  I look forward to the complete demise of the postal service.  I will gladly use UPS for such needs.
