What a hardship. I think all the benefits are delivered electronically now.

Who cares if it’s late?

Why on earth does that matter?

he postal service should do a 5 year phase out.

Start by closing more post offices and eliminate Saturday service.

Eventually service should be 2 days a week as they have more employees retire.

Delivery companies operating in a state or county would have to guarantee a mail pick up or drop off twice a month to any location in that region.

A work slowdown by obsolete fed workers?

Actually, my mail is being delivered earlier. Used to be delivered around 10 am. Today, the mail was here around 8:30 am.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds...

Fixed it.

Our postal carrier is so stressed out, that he is jittery and angry a lot of the time. He gets to our apartments around 4:30 or 5p.m. From here, he still has another hour or hour-and-a-half of deliveries.

My mail used to come at 10 Am It now arrives at 5pm. When I questioned the carrier I was told he could finish his route by 1 pm but they would add more to his route so him and his fellow carriers dog it all day. Sad as hell seeing the truck go up the street at a crawl. Wonder why they are going broke?

My mail arrives around an hour later than it did maybe 10 years ago. The address has not changed.

No big deal at all and it may have more to do with changing how the route is run. Actually I have no idea but like I said, no big deal.

“Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”

The quote comes from Herodotus, the Father of history in his “History of the Persian Wars”.

The Persian Emperors had their own pony express more than 500 years BC.

They can’t deliver it to the right house in broad daylight, so what’s the difference?

Slightly off topic. I recently had a $100 mailbox ripped off it's post. I live in a rural area without many visitors.

If I find the culprit, I am going to rip out the post and shove it up their ass!

BS; lazy, fed union crap.

We went to our main post office in Cincy, were doing a passport. We were told we had to make an appt and had to come back, so I said, please, can you see if you can do it today while we’re here? BTW, no one was in line. While she was in the back room checking on whatever, I embarrassed my wife and said out loud, well, that proves we work for the government now not they work for us. The lady must have heard me because she got on it and got it done while we were there.

This bums me out. Now I have to wait until late to open my box and throw everything out.

I get NOTHING in the mail I need or want.

If I have them drive to my house and deliver the mail, it’s free. If I agree to have them put the mail into a box at the post office for me to pick up later, I have to pay for it. Seems kinda backwards.

So they’re cutting funds for mail delivery. Gee, I didn’t know mail delivery is what’s busting the budget.

Look at what they’re NOT cutting.
