I have been residing in Pauma Valley for quite some time and have generally been satisfied with the local services, in special with small Pauma Postal Office. However, I have encountered numerous issues with misplaced packages and letters, which prompts me to share my concerns. Just yesterday, I ordered an item from Amazon with next-day delivery (for which I paid extra), and it was crucial for me to receive it by noon the following day. I tracked the shipment and received a notification on my phone confirming that the package had been delivered to my mailbox. When I rushed outside to collect it, I found all the mail present, but the package was missing. I then went across the street, where a kind and professional attendant checked and suspected that the delivery person might have mistakenly placed it in someone else's mailbox.
Additionally, about a month ago, I received a package from a neighbor who is not particularly friendly, which had been left in my mailbox. In the same week, while cleaning my backyard, I discovered a DMV letter buried in the dirt that belonged to someone living over two miles away in the community. I understand people make mistakes but It seems necessary for the postal office supervisor or manager to address these recurring issues with the delivery contractor, who appears to be neglecting her responsibilities. Amazon courtesy offered and will resend a new order for me, but unfortunately It did help with my immediate needs.
