That?s...absurd.
The current USPS guy here seems pretty dedicated to getting stuff here. Same with FedEx
and UPS...they?ve delivered packages at nearly 9pm before. We once got the USPS mail at
8:30...
Wow. It may help here that this is a city of 32,000 people...
True. I still say the postmaster general and board should be directly elected instead of
presidentially appointed...
I've had issues with both FedEx, UPS, AND USPS not knocking or ringing the
doorbell. Apparently the doorbell is absurdly finnicky here...or everyone
else sucks at actually answering it. (I'm often in rooms with loud stuff
so I don't hear it).
I have been sitting on my front porch when the "unsuccessful delivery
attempt" incremented. It happens a lot more in the late fall, when they
have more temporary flakes.

My REGULAR USPS guy is great. Therefore, he will be retiring very soon. A carrier here once told us our mailbox was too
low and it was an
inconvincenience for him to put mail in it...
30 years ago, had a USPS delivery guy who refused to deliver anything for
anybody not labelled ON THE MAILBOX, including "C/O"s for houseguests, and
he "Returned to sender" a correctly addressed wedding invitation from my
ex. (THAT redeemed him a little) I blame Nixon for why it's so broken and
mismanaged.
seconded!
But most/all other prez's further contributed to the problems.
