Well you could start only doing highend trades and send insured if your budget allows it. If the person steals from you again at least you're covered.

I suppose ... but if the basic functions are this effed up, I can only imagine what actually trying to get them to cut me a check would be like.

I think I'll just retire. That way, I get in the Hall of Fame quicker.

Feel your pain. I lost about $500 worth of stuff one Christmas. Never had another package mailed to my house, and never had a problem again, except with out going mail.

In all honesty, I do not drop my packages off at the post office anymore. I ship through a shipping company, which cost me a bit more, but since I've switched to it, I havent lost any items. The people are also a lot nicer than my local USPS branch, including the New Orleans main branch. My postman is extremely nice and he actually collects vintage football, which I help him out with from time to time. He also looks out for me because he knows a few times a week I get these yellow envelopes LOL

This! With the emphasis on helping him out from time to time. Nothing speaks bigger volumes than a nice unexpected gift from time to time. It goes a looonng way. I have the lady at the counter of my PO who I gave a JJ Watt auto to. It cost me $20 and she loves JJ and now when ever I walk in she runs to the back and grabs my stuff even if there are 20 people in line ahead of me lol My old driver, before I got the PO box, would hand deliver my packages and if no one answered he would try again on his way back from his route and it was because of $100 Christmas present each year lol

Man, sorry to hear that.

And damn, that's a whole other topic ... the holidays.

I waited in two different lines last Christmas season at about 45 minutes apiece, and the general dooshiness of not only the employees — one guy actually helped some dingbat lady wrap and package all her stuff, it took them like 30 minutes and there were only two other windows open — but the public in general was very, very uninspiring.

So even if this latest BS hadn't happened, I would still be taking a nice, long break until after the new year at a minimum anyway.
