Or Why is it so Difficult to get a Package from Point A to Point B?

I am really tired of the USPS. I tend to watch very closely when my package is going to arrive. Today I get an e-mail that the item is available for pickup. Why would I get such an item? I wanted it delivered. I decided to call the post office and find out.

At first the agent was confused but then realized that it was because the item came in after the mail carrier already left. That to me is a stupid answer, the mail always comes in so its common sense that the carrier would leave before items came in. I had many packages arrive in my home city before at around the sane time and arrival at unit would be displayed, which it does for the third one down. So does that mean the USPS for those rounds had his route already to go and out the door at six twenty six am. I doubt it.

Then later that evening I have the tracking say a notice was left. If the postal employee left before the package came in, how would he know that the package arrived to leave the notice. They do realize that package is insured fir three thousand dollars. You would think that they would want to get rid of it as soon as possible. I have work today and I know at least that this package should make it to my fathers today, but honestly with the thievery running rampant and no one being held accountable in the USPS my greatest fear was never the book dropping a grade it was the book never making its way back to me.

And in a side note, another package is making it back to me and I can't fathom why when I checked USPS for a mailing option, it is coming to me through UPS. I think I might look into getting a Fed-Ex account, because so far they have been the only one reliable. Does anyone else have a problem like this? Could someone out there ease my mind?

Thanks for Reading
