This is the Pelham NY Post Office, The people at the counter here are nice. They know all the regulars and great them with a smile. Its a small town and most mail deliveries are done by the mail man who walks his route. However there is a huge problem with the truck driven package delivery system which is nothing short of what you might expect from a third world country. Two weeks ago a package was not even attempted to be delivered to me. No note, no delivery. they just returned it to sender. I try to work around this by telling people to never send me anything USPS and to use UPS or Fed X. anyone else ! Unfortunately some venders have contracts with USPS and I have no choice. Just now I have been waiting for a very important package that deals with my business that was marked for «signature required». I had the USPS tracking number so I could track it. After waiting 48 hours the tracking program records «attempted delivery». My whole family was home waiting so there is no way they attempted delivery. If they did attempt they did not leave a note. I don’t know if its the problem with the USPS system or just this local post office. I hope this post office can sort out their problems and get ride of whoever is at the root of this problem. Under normal circumstances I would just say «so what, its just a package», a pair of shoes or a CD can wait. But when it effects my business I take it personal.
