13 Things Your Mail Carrier Won’t Tell You

This is true. The post office is one of the (if not the only) government agencies that is 100% self-sufficient. They do not get tax dollars or money from the government. Whenever postage goes up, it's typically because the cost of technology used, gas, cost of benefits, or wages have gone up. Anyway, I just thought I would share this. I know my dad has told me several of these, but I didn't know if everyone was aware. |

I would like to know why we are going on day 4 without mail service. I live in a sub-division in Columbia and the roads have been bladed although not perfect they are passable. I even made sure to spend an extra 30 minutes clearing the street in front of my mail box when I did my driveway on Wednesday. It cracks me up that for the past few days the local news stations have been talking up the USPS about how they are still delivering mail. I can understand no mail on Tuesday and Wednesday due to the storm but now I am getting to the point of wanting to contact the local Post Master to ask what is going on.
I also find it a bit ironic that we received a package from FedEx today and a UPS truck just delivered a package to our neighbors across the street.

how the **** did this thread last this long?
This was one of those threads that i refused to click on because i figured it would suck and be gone in half a day. And here i am still wondering how the hell this went 19 pages.

People like to think they're always right. I just like to argue.

My mom is livid, so I get to play go between. I swear, I don't know who appointed me mediator. Anyway, they live on a rural route, and today was the first day their road was somewhat passable. My stepdad went to their post office while he was in town today, and asked about it. They contract certain rural routes out, and they hadn't seen their delivery person in three days. My stepdad asked to get his mail, but they told him they'd rather him not do that. So, of course, I get to call my dad, and he said the reason they couldn't have given it to him right then was because it was back in a holding tray that they couldn't get to, waiting to be delivered. She proceeded to tell me what she thought. I'd had enough of doubting questioners on here today, that I told her to take it up with her post office on Monday. Ugh.
