[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 4307279, member: 102022"]My most recent 'Attempted Delivery' failure notice was just last Saturday. I was expecting a large, and expensive parcel (my metal detector). Needless to say social distancing kept us all housebound. Obviously home. Mail carrier dropped the mail in our curbside box, no parcel. I witnessed this thru the window. By the time I got outside the carrier was out of sight. Went to PO to see what could be done. Explained to the manager the occurrence and they tried defending the carrier....to no avail. He asked me to wait a moment. He phoned the carrier and asked him to sign the e-pad for me and leave the pkg on my front porch. This all could have been done initially. The carrier returned and completed the delivery. I've had this type of situation happen countless times in the decades we've been in this home. My disdain for the USPS runs deep. We never ever put outgoing mail in our box. We receive other people's mail in our box at least a couple of times a week. Complaining accomplishes absolutely nothing. Privatize the mail. Maybe accountability will make things better. The system as is, is broken, badly.[/QUOTE]
