USPS -- Unbelievable!

Right now I am not walking up and down stairs to get to my mail box at the street because I need my left hip replaced. A friend gets my mail for me every mail delivery day.

There was an accident at my street corner. When I looked out the window, I saw something laying on the ground, by the mail box, and it was over one of my lawn sprinklers. It did not look like trash, so I went out to see what it was. It was new mail, addressed to me and it would not fit in the mail box, so it was apparently left by the mail box and it blew away from where it was left -- I get a pretty strong afternoon ocean breeze -- and it was about to make it further away from my yard due to the breeze.

The contents of the package? IT WAS THE NEW BIDEN - HARRIS SIGN I ORDERED FOR MY WINDOW!!!!

To take it to my porch is less than 10 feet...but the mail person left it on the ground. I am mega ticked...but I am not sure how mad I should be. Yes, the mail is operating under horrible conditions, but leaving something on the ground in a cardboard mailing sleeve with the words "DO NOT BEND" in red on it???? No matter what, that was IMO irresponsible. Just another day with repercussions thanks to the orange asshole!

The new one doesn't close our mailbox which is at the street. We have had it blown around and neighbors bring it by. I don't get it, they should love those of us who support their cause.

I could not believe that any mail person would do this. Left right on the ground.

Even before this year, when you call, you’re in a queue than can last HOURS. No kidding. I’m not hacking on the post office...it’s just true. I ship every day of the week for our business. It’s almost impossible to get someone at USPS on the phone. It’s unfortunate.
