These people are ridiculous, i am sick of getting pink slips to pick up packages that are small enough to fit in my mail box. One of the mail people is nice enough to bring the packages to my door and leave them, the other is disrespectful enough to leave my boxes beside my mail box in the middle of a rain storm. If not theres a slip in my mail box saying they attempted to deliver the packages and no one was home, when I don’t get ever hear a knock or anything. Something needs to be done, no one should pay shipping on a package to have to drive to the post office at least 3 times to try to pick it up. And you definitely shouldn’t have to sit by the mail box and wait to make sure you get what you ordered. 🙄
