Re: Had to cut 2 packages out of my mailbox in the last month

Unlike in the past, it seems we have a "regular" carrier who might not even be full time. It seems they rotate him with a few other people.  Maybe they get out of having to pay benefits this way?  Service has certainly gone down hill.

Re: Had to cut 2 packages out of my mailbox in the last month

It's happened to me only once. The box was shoved so tight in the mailbox I almost pulled up the cement foundation getting it out.

 

I didn't report it as I believe whoever did this was not my regular mailwoman, Martha. Martha is always delivering packages to my door, and I show my appreciation every Christmas. However, the Q plastic packages arrive in just awful conditions, like a truck has been running over them. The Q packaging is as cheap as possible; S&H a big money maker for them. The heck with how they arrive.

Re: Had to cut 2 packages out of my mailbox in the last month

It's good to know although I probably will never use.  My packages are delivered to my door if they are too big to fit in the mailbox.  I live in an apt. building so that's probably why.

WELL IT PAYS TO COMPLAIN---Today I received a package that wasn't that big , and could have fit in my regular mailbox, but mailman put it in bigger one.   HA

I have a slip and when we get a replacement mail person this person stuffs all the mail though that slip instead of putting it in envelopes and magazines at one time. I have complained also the mail gets chewed up. When our regular mail person comes we have a box where he puts the magazines and small packages and the envelopes go in the slip. I have complained as I have mentioned but, nothing has come of it .

We used to have  amailbox like that, and I remember several times having a terrible time getting a package out of the mailbox. I never had to cut it out, but came close.
