    We had the same postal worker for 4 years. Recently (4 months) we have had different drivers. Im 100% sure the new workers are stealing our packages. I always sign up for package notifications. 3 times when it comes time for the package to be delivered to my house all of a sudden the tracking information either disappears or the mail man/mens will say "No one lives at that address " went to the post office to see what was happening and was told they could not find the packages. Uh yeah you are letting thieves keep steal people's packages. Contacted sender, " packages were not returned ." Received mail I had to sign for Myling(what Im calling her, not her real name) (Asian) woman at the counter complained that she had to scan 16 pieces of mail . I ignored her person questions and asked her to please scan my mail and let me have it please. Myling ( Asian) workers continues to be rude by reading who the letters are from in front of the whole post office. Mind you this was personal business. If this worker does this again Im suing.

    I've had a questionable experience to where I turned in an item to ship to a parent and the mail remains in a "Pre-Shipment, Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item" status for days on end. It's been almost a week and there's still no sign that the item shipped out. According to USPS’s own Postal Bulletin 22192...employees must scan packages at the time they’re collected. Despite this clear policy, my package hasn't been scanned...which reflects a lack of accountability and adherence to their own operational standards.
