    I can't remember ever having any trouble with anything they have shipped either to me of by me. I don't see a picture of an un-opened box.

    I did not send a pkg. but on Jan. 27th I mailed my daughter a birthday card. Her birthday is Feb 1st. She lives an hour from me. She did not receive the card until Feb. 17th. It had no post mark on it only a bar code. It was not damaged in any way either. Wonder what happened there?

    I sent each of my DGKs a valentine. The eight year old went for the mail. Brought it in and there wasn't one for her. She called in tears. "Grandma did you forget something???" "WHA???" "Grandma, everybody but me got a Valentine." I assured her I sent one. She went out and retraced her steps - she had dropped it on her way in the house. She called back and was very happy she found it.

    Postal employees are human, and as such, you're going to get the occasional bad apple, and even more often, human type mistakes.

    I think it got dropped somewhere, lost for a couple of weeks. Someone could have taken it to her faster on foot.

    I saw it on the news as well, and here is the video of the fed ex guy tossing the package over the fence.

    You can't believe a lot of the liberal news media.

    its not just the sorting stations with poor work ethics -there are a lot of the older postmen retiring and the young ones taking over don't do the job they are paid to do.It took 22 days for a letter to arrive from in town and it was ripped up and it looked like they used it to wipe their muddy boots on.And the mail jeep is parked in front of my house to do the door to door delivery and the 20ish mailman never leaves the jeep-sits there on his cell phone smoking and drinking coffee.They have replaced the remarks about the city workers leaning on their shovels

    If you think about how many times you get mail and everything is ok - it is a very small amount that is NOT ok. FOCUS.
