Oh I am sooooooooooooooo with you on this one Joho. After my mother died I had all her mail forwarded. The mailman at her house 2 miles away took it upon himself, he told a neighbor he did this, went ahead and wrote deceased on her mail and returned it to sender. 
After several months I still was having mail forwarding problems. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on May 21 I went and got a post office box at Rosemary. my mail carrier knew b/c she hand wrote me a note to just make sure. After about 3 weeks and no mail I went to PCB to check on the problem. They told me that it sometimes takes that long. SOOOOOOOOOO, I wait. NO MAIL!:angry: I called the PO again and was told the same thing. So I then called the 800 number from their website. THe lady on the phone said she did not have an address for me. So the very next day I called the PO again and spoke to Robert, our postmaster. He did some digging and it seems that someone decided to give my husband, my mom and I a new PO box at Watersound where a second homeowner receives mail. My daughter's was never changed and she receives mail still at Rosemary.
It has been over 37 days and I am still not getting any mail......:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: The postal service does $*@&@#^%*(!$#&&*((*&*&^&^$^%$ around here!!!!!
sorry for the rant:roll:

Your rant is justified.....It should not take 37 days to forward mail 2 miles!! Good luck getting things straightened out!

I spoke with Joyce, unfortunately she was absolutely no help. I've had my neighbors walk some of my mail to my house and some write "delivered to incorrect address" just so the carrier pays more attention. In the mean time I have no idea where my bank statements are being delivered.
I'm not pointing fingers at all the Sowal carriers, reading some of the posts
confirms there are responsible carriers out there. I just wish I had one on my route.

Same as ours. Our mailbox is a significant distance from our house, and if we get a large parcel, he drives down and puts it on our front porch.
I really get a kick out of our UPS guy...if he doesn't have anyone else in my neighborhood to deliver to and I have a small package, he will bring it to me at work. Works out better for both of us - he doesn't have to dive off on East PW, and I don't catch grief from Fuzz!

Santa Rosa Beach postal service is truly "snail mail". I've sent mail from foreign countries faster than I can get a letter from Seagrove to Rosemary Beach.
I think the contract carriers are a big part of the problem, as I am constantly amazed by the mail service or lack thereof.
The great people at UPS and FedEx don't seem to have any problems finding me, but mail is a constant struggle to receive even though I've had the same address for years.
