Losing my packages lately. For the 2nd time in the last month or so, a package has been marked as "Delivered" but was not. The last time they delivered it to an entirely different street. Fortunately the person who received it brought it to me.
I don't know what's going on with this post office, but never in my life had I had to been concerned about using USPS. I used to wonder why people would say stuff like "USPS is unreliable." Well, now i know. This wasn't a problem for the last 2 years but it is now. I don't know what changed but it hasn't been for the better.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST USPS LOCATION IN THE COUNTRY! LOST BILL PAYMENTS, BIRTHDAY CARDS, ANNIVERSARY CARDS, ETC. UNKNOWN IF IT IS JUST POOR PERFORMANCE BY EXISTING EMPLOYEES (MOST ACT LIKE THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE), OR JUST A BAD LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT SITUATION. PUT ME IN CHARGE FOR 30 DAYS AND I CAN FIX IT, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT.
