I do hope no packages were lost from 'here' to' there'. We have a new mail carrier after our regular retired after 22 years of service and mail is in the wrong mail boxes every week. I just want to go out there and pull her out of the truck and box her ears!

Eyes, Be patient with your new mail carrier. She has a lot to learn and probably had ONE day of training on your route.. Go out to greet her and tell how much you appreciate the job she is doing,and make a positive suggestion to help her get better.Also in many areas the carrier does not sort the mail. I'm a former mail carrier.

New carrier can't be expected to be as efficient as a 22 year veteran. Be kind!
