For over a freakin YEAR, it has been touch and go with our local branch as to whether they would let my wife pick up my registered mail.
Finally yesterday I got into a match with the woman who was the worst offender.
She stated that it was a RULE and she would not break a RULE.
I asked for a complaint form and was told by her that complaints could not be made anymore.
"How handy" I said and stormed out.
And then LOOKED IT UP.
e.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/manuals/DMM/D042.pdf+USPS+delivery+regulations&hl=en&ie=UTF-8">The REGULATIONS<B">
DO42 (sec 2.0 is the one)
I got an apology, a phone call, and the clerk got a .....reprimand. (as close as a gov't employee can get to capital punishment)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Now we see if it .....sticks.
grrrrrrrrrrrrr
shoot, I guess the URL is too long. Oh well, DO42 sec 2.0
Make em look it up.
When she told me there were no complaints, she added "That's just the way it is."
AND....... She said that she had had problems with US before.
A ....separate.....section says that the postal employee is to deliver if they RECOGNIZE the customer.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr twice

ALL....my ....NON.....certified mail comes from .......The Institute for Higher Postal Salaries.
It....might....get thru.

And I know which clerk ah is gonna make lead sled dog!
MUSH! Aw c'mon......MUSH! Okay, not till after break, but yer gonna MUSH then. Sick day? What? We'll never get to Alaska. Huh? Your PERSONAL day off?
Can you just see a civil service DOG? Huh? Can ya? Eat like crazy and let the burglars IN while blaming the cat.

As far as registered mail, I solved that problem by getting a PO box and having registered items sent there, and I have her listed as my agent. The reality is if the registered mail is not sent restricted delivery, anyone at the mailing address can sign for it. Trying to get that across to stupid clerks is another matter.
I am talking about my PO BOX!!!!!
grrrrrr.
She told me I could NOT designate an agent.
And the regs state that anyone at an address can sign as long as it is NOT restricted delivery.
Even specifies that anyone at an apartment house can sign.
She is a ...snitch?.....no.....switch?......no.......itch?.......no......aw shoot, it'll come to me.

The thing that pissed me off so much was that I brought in TWO regs from the previous day that were ALLOWED to be picked up by my swarthy, evil looking wife.
Her response: "Well......I'M......not going to break the rules."
My re-response: "Hmm since those rules were ALLEGEDLY broken, can we put the OTHER clerk in jail?"
great!
The contractor that delivers mail to our house is another matter. Recently I found
a piece of boxed electronic equipment in the middle of my driveway when I got home,
and it was raining!
A few days later I noticed a parcel had been "delivered" into the back on my truck!
We complained about this behavior, and so far, so good.

Is that true?? If not true, you owe that clerk the favor of getting ahold of one of the complaint forms (ask the Postmaster) and fill it out detailing the misinformation being given to you by the clerk. I have filled out several of those complaint forms over the years. When they receive one it really shakes the tree! a copy goes to Washington DC headquarters.
and they're cold.

This was NOT taken lightly by the number I reached through the maze of phone trees but finally got a human.
AND....today at the PO.....I had another reg. SENT wife in while I sat in car. Clerk saw her ID and said, "Well, I guess you are the DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE today." So I know some fur was ruffled.
Not same clerk but seems the whole office may have got a fax today.
Offending clerk not in today.
What offended me MOST was yesterday when I asked the &$##)* to SHOW me the reg book and she said she didn't HAVE to.
Oh....I mentioned that to the guy who was already fairly steamed.
Just hope it wasn't an act.
"Hey Shirlee, we got that dope off yer case with some shmoozin."
Oh well, it's only supposedly MY government. I am so lucky. VOTE FOR.....ummm.....er......oh hell!
The one time I called to complain, the next day my mailbox was kicked off its post. What a strang coincidence.
A site dedicated to the sale of rare and high MS grade Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. All coins are graded by ICG, PCGS, NGC, or Anacs, and are priced well below PCGS values.
window personnel on rare occasions. The USPS is the ONLY way to go for expensive coins.

Investigative reporters LOVE a good coincidence

USPS has lost three of my packages. Never any problems with FedEx or AirEx. UPS is another story... At any rate, what's being questioned here isn't whether or not USPS loses packages, but whether their customer service sucks
Sure wish I could say the same thing about my previous address.
