Somewhere within about 50-75 miles of where you live will likely be a regional Post Office. They give tours regularly. I highly recommend taking a tour of a regional post office sometime. You will be amazed that any mail ever finds its' way to your door much less arrives intact. Seriously, the Post Office gets a bum rap and some of it is deserved but it's an incredibly high-tech and highly automated system. Sometimes though a package will just catch in one of the sorting and routing machines and get banged up. Sometimes shipping tape comes loose due to humidity or a pallet of mail getting wet. Not everything is a conspiracy.

And look into getting that tour sometime. I did one in the late 1990s as part of a class on bulk mailing I had to take for my job. I thought it would be boring but it was one of the most interesting things I've ever done. The class on the other hand was deadly dull and I kept falling asleep. But do that tour.
