In the last 2 months I have chickens that were ordered die because the post office didn't call like they were supposed too. The clerk had to go in the back to even find out if they were there. I had one of my bank statements put in my next door neighbor's drop box. The next week,I had to credit card sameness placed in the neighbor's box
,who live 2 houses down. Recently, I had an order supposedly placed on a lock box,which I never received. These problems appear to happen on my regular carrier is off on Saturdays. We have spoken with Supervisors 3 times these last 2 months. Last year we had a small package we mailed at the post office disappear. It was logged out of the post office without any further information wherein went. I am filling a formal complaint regarding our mail service.
