Can Some Please Give A Plausible Explanation Why The U.S. Postal Service

the problem is they know they cannot deliver what is promised and they no longer care- recently I was having some work done in my yard and the postal lady came by and saw me standing there but because the mailbox was blocked by a big dump truck, she just went around to the next house-I quickly walked over and she told me my box was blocked so she didn't have to stop-she atleast then gave me my mail but this is typical of the mindset of postal workers- 2 weeks ago I mailed an envelope to my accountant in Orlando and it took 8 days to get there- 26 miles away- the postal system is broken and there is little ability to actually fix it

So you're trying to tell me if a box is blocked, the mail person should have to get out and walk it to the box? That's absurd. They're already servicing close to a thousand boxes a day and don't have the time to make detours.

I needed to overnight some papers for my wife's immigration the other day from Florida to Vermont and they got there in less than 20 hours for $18. When you're moving a billion pieces of mail a day, sometimes things will get lost, but the USPS is still one of our best government services.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

You're right, nothing in there about blocked mail boxes.

I am telling you that yes they should get out-it is part of their effin job to deliver the mail-you must be a union guy
