I thought this was bound to happen due to the sabotage of the post office that is somewhat bipartisan but increased with Trump term 1. But yesterday my grandmother just got a birthday card she had sent to me two years ago returned as “undeliverable” despite the address being correct and the postage paid. And this also caused me to find out that this happened to several other relatives, though without the two year delay, despite the address and postage being definitely correct.
I’ve noticed a huge decline. My neighbor and I get each other’s mail all the time, as do others in our neighborhood. So there’s an impromptu mail service that starts up after the letter carrier finishes with our street, with everyone hand delivering everyone else’s mail. No amount of complaining to the post office fixes it. They just don’t give a shit. And it’s not every piece. They deliver about 80% of the mail correctly, but there’s almost always one or two pieces in the wrong box. And it’s almost always the same neighbor they get wrong. Like it’s always me and this one guy behind me, and my neighbor across the street and another neighbor near her house, etc.
