Ragging on the USPS is a popular pastime here on FR, but I have always had excellent service. I’ve shipped hundreds of packages, never lost one, never had one damaged (knock on wood) except for a few sent to me that were poorly packed.
Once I had a letter carrier knock on my door in the pouring rain to tell me that a package had been left by another carrier at a side door that I rarely use. I rescued it in time with minimal damage. Now, THAT’s service!
Humans do make mistakes on occasion, and there are always a few bad apples in the barrel, but in general, the USPS does a great job.
Ditto.
