<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy_K, post: 2644405, member: 23248&quot;]Thanks for everyone&#039;s input to this thread! I always thought only my local post office was the total quagmire. At one point, we had eight postmasters in 11 months with each one coming up with customer-annoying efficiency ideas to prove their value to the USPS. So it isn&#039;t local.&nbsp; I stand corrected.</p><p><br /></p><p>I gave up on the online mail hold request; that stopped working a few years ago. The last time I requested a mail hold. I handed the form to the assistant postmaster; it never got processed. Now I have a neighbor collect my mail.</p><p><br /></p><p>The International Sorting Center here in Los Angeles actually works fairly efficiently but the domestic mail sorting facility seems overwhelmed by the volume. Their presorts delivered to the local post offices aren&#039;t really presorted (by the Intelligent Mail barcode) so the carriers have to sort the mail before they can deliver it. Better yet, the deliveries from the sorting center to the post offices sometimes go to the wrong post offices (e.g., Santa Monica delivered to Culver City and vice versa) which takes the better part of a day to correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
