My paycheck ended up in my neighbors mailbox. Like that is absolutely ridiculous.

Yet another package misdelivered by you - this time containing clothes for my family for Christmas. Reading simply cannot be this difficult.

Went to find out why a package wasn’t delivered and the supervisor did nothing but say it was delivered to a wrong address like “oh well nothing else we can do”
I was worried about USPS going under so I purchased $100 worth of postage stamps I will never use just to try to help them... now I see why they are going under. I’ll never do that again.
