    I'm afraid it's only going to get worse; my brother works @ a mail distribution site and the USPS is closing down alot of them (his has officially been closed) to supposedly consolidate them and be more efficient with the smaller load due to email & competition. He says that the remaining sites will now be over-taxed and under-staffed so people depending on medical deliverys are not going to get their prescriptions promptly and over-all service will suffer. We'll just have to see....but, if it gets worse than what you are experiencing....that's hard to fathom!

    I beg to differ

    The USPS is highly over staffed for the workload. The main reason it is so inneffective is Government rules that remained even when it was privitized and an out of control Government Union that protects eliminating unnecesary jobs. I have dealt with Post Offices all over the country mailing millions of packages. I have seen Post Masters that think they are god. Untrained employees that insist on doing things in a way the USPS actual doesn't allow. Refusal to listen when you give them the actual facts and where they can find it in the DMM. And an overall preference to saying no to a customer instead of working with the customer.

    Unfortunately, it's not just USPS. I've had a package on it's way to Canada for the last three weeks via UPS. I actually called the UPS 1-800# to ask about required customs forms before sending it on it's way, and it STILL got held up in customs limbo.

    If the USPS ever sees fit to incorporate some form of international tracking I will NEVER use UPS's international services again.
