usps problems

[Sweet Baby Jane]

We have been residing in So. Wal. (Dune Allen ) for 1 year now and the Postal Service still can not seem to get our mail to us. We receive mail addressed to other people at different addresses and different towns at least once a week. It sure makes us wonder where in the world our mail is ending up. Can't tell you how many of my bills have arrived just the day before they were due causing us to pay the late fees. It took 6 weeks for a letter from Valparaiso Fl to be delivered to us. We have voiced our concern several times to the Post Office but still seems to do no good. Anyone else having a problem or have any suggestions???

Don't really have a helpful suggestion for you as far as time - part of the reason I have gone paperless is the local PO - but getting other people's mail is not the norm.

I think part of the problem is that the mail delivery is farmed out to independent carriers, so complaining to a higher level of the post office could help if the carrier is the issue and local complaints have gotten no results.

Completely ridonkulous how much longer it takes the mail to get anywhere to/from our area. :angry:

I've tried complaining too, but there's a reason one of the guys working the counter is named Dick.

So true. Of course, stupid me used to drive the mail to the Santa Rosa post office until finally the person at the Seaside post office told me that it all ends up at the Santa Rosa post office and leaves Santa Rosa at the same time.

There's also a branch at WaterSound now. Of course you have to walk around back to find it and it and the one at Seaside close at 3pm.

I have to say we have had good luck but they did pull a fast one on me a few months back. I was out front not 20 yards from the mailbox and the delivery driver pulls up, waves, deposits the mail and moves on. I walk to the box and there is a 'sorry you were not home because we have something you need to sign for' slip in the mail. She didn't even try to deliver that signature required mail

We really are due for a summit with the U.S. Post Office and County. We started to get some resolution to issues some years ago, but that has lingered. Time to get Walton County post office addresses and issues addressed!!! I think Walton County Citizen Services can help us. Time to call.
