I'm thoroughly unimpressed with my local postal service, too. I'm on a training route, and the quality of the trainees that cycle through it is sometimes very poor. I frequently get misaddressed mail-- like not just mail addressed to my neighbor (which happens on average once a week) but also mail addressed to someone who lives a few blocks away. It's ridiculous. In addition the postal center mishandled half or more of the temporary-hold requests I submitted. Basically I stopped trusting USPS with anything sensitive years ago. That was my major driver for switching my important financial accounts to paperless years ago and why I'm happy to let the junkmail pile up in my box today.
