the "new" post office isn't as reliable -- we have had problems with forwarding -- and stopping the forwarding this year. They didn't stop forwarding from ME to WA on time and then didn't forward to ME at all -- even tho we did the paperwork and in addition did it on email where it costs money.
It isn't our local post men/lady who we know -- it happens somewhere at central locations. I noticed this morning when I was mailing out packages that when they printed the postage strip, they also printed out the bar code for the place it is to go. "Look Ma -- no hands"" -- or human beings
