Postal Service? Are you, like me, fed up with your postal service. I work in the West End (London) and we don't seem to receive our post until 1pm these days. Does anyone know what is happening? I also saw on GMTV this morning that the Post Office is going to be investigated because of the unusual times that they are picking up post. e.g. Instead of picking up at 8:30am they pick it up at 3:30pm Tell me what you thinkof this annoyance?

New home; tried to do a "change of address", but postal service doesn't recognize new address. What do I do? Just bought a new home, the only one on a newly constructed side street off of a main road. I tried to do an address change online, but the new address isn't being recognized by US Postal Service system. The builder listed the house under this new address, so why doesn'tt the postal service recognize it and is there anything I can do to make this address exist for the postal service? The mail carrier that comes by here doesn't know what I need to do.

And then what? Thanks

I just wanna apply straight through the Postal Service. I am currently deployed so walking into a post office is not an option. Any help would be great.
What is the postal service like in Myanmar right now? Does Myanmar have an adequate postal service? Are there huge delays in Yangon because of the cyclone?

How many of you have received advertizing mailings from US Postal Service? In the last few weeks I have received 3 "keeping you Posted" cards form the US Postal Service. It tells us how we can handle our postal needs. Now I have been able to take care of my postal needs on my own with no problem. What is a problem is, that when I go to the post office there is no place to park, I wait in a long line and am finally waited on by surely clerks. Our postal rates were raised not long ago. How many more cards do you think they will send out before they raise the rates again. Is it really neccessary for our post office to send out cards telling us how to conduct our business?
Do you think the postal service is becoming obsolete? Do you think we should switch to electronic mail, why or why not? And what do you propose we could do to make up for all the jobs that would be lost if the postal service did shut down? True but to send actual items such as money or gifts you can use UPS or Fed Ex. Oh and the reason I ask is because the postmaster general says if the fed doesn't help out that the postal service is going to run out of money.
Do you prefer to ship items with the gov't postal service or an independent shipping service? I was very dissatisfied with the customer service department of the US postal service. I like to use them for shipping packages, but I think that I will switch to UPS because they at least make a few attempts to deliver a package to an address. I tried to get the USPS to hold the package at the destination office and they refused saying that the package will be returned to sender. Very frustrating! What is your preferred shipping service and why?
Should we let the postal service go out of business? Follow up on a question before, if we let the postal service go out of business, or let them go down to weekly service, would it hurt many people? The volume of mail would decrease and you would get less waste in the mailbox. The general public has the ability to pay bills through the internet anyway. We still have UPS and Fed Ex. Private business could pick up the rest of the slack. The elderly could still get weekly mail.

Postal service requiring a mailbox for packages? The postal service requires that you have a mailbox to receive packages at you home.

Can I sue the US Postal service for refusing to pay an insurance claim? I purchased a very expensive perfume bottle on eBay that was insured for $2000.00. I provided the broken bottle, the packaging, proof of payment etc..Insurance slip etc.. to the local Post office clerk who processed the claim. Someone screwed up and they refused the payment with the reason that I do not have proof that it was broken in transit. My local postman said to refile the claim as soon as I receive the notice that my appeal is rejected but conveniently I have not received it. I wanted to file a claim in Small claims Court but I was told that I cannot sue the Federal Government in in small claims court. I thought that the Postal Insurance was handled by a private entity hired by the postal service? What Can I do?

Why do people use the postal service analogy whenever the government proposes another program? "Do you really want your healthcare run like the postal service!?" I've heard at least a few variations of this. Anyway...you mean the agency that takes a letter from me in Florida for 42 cents gets it to New York in a few days? Yeah, I'd love it if my health care was that efficient. Yes, the postal service doesn't make money, but not everything has to make a profit. So this analogy doesn't make sense to me.

Do you think that email should be protected by the same laws as US Postal Service mail? It really bothers me that the government thinks it is OK to monitor people's email in the name of national security. Since they can not monitor our US Postal Service mail in the name of national security why should email be any different. I believe that some day the US mail will be obsolete and won't exist any more and that everything will be email. Wrong, I'm a democrat and it upsets me that President Bush monitored people's emails in the name of national security.
Will US Postal Service Parcel Post deliver to an unmarked address? After having my mailbox run over many times, I decided to get a PO Box.

Are they the same thing?

I am talking mainly about the United States, but peoples experience in other countries can answer too.

A strike or something? How can you try to track something you think is lost in another country?
How often does the United States Postal Service lose a package? Does anyone have any statistics on how many packages (or letters) the United States Postal Service looses (i.e. does not deliver)? Three weeks ago I returned a book to an Amazon Marketplace seller via Media Mail. They claim to have not received it. According to usps.com the book should have arrived within 4-6 days. So either the seller is lying about not receiving the return (or lost it somehow) or USPS never delivered it. I am positive the address was correct and the proper postage was affixed to the package. My assumption is the percentage of lost packages is very low (< 1%), but I have nothing to backup this theory.
