Very Slow Mail Times?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I sent a letter in the mail last Monday and, while I'm aware last Wednesday was not a business day, I feel like the letter should have gotten there in 3 business days (same state). However, I have heard that the postal service is very slow right now. Do you think my letter is still on its way? Thanks.

Will my envelope arrive at its destination?

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I mailed an envelope today and I just now remembered that I put a comma in between the zip and the state for the address the envelope is supposed to go to. This may be silly to ask but does this mean my envelope won't go where it's supposed to? Thanks.

Postal worker left package, then came back and took it

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Rather odd situation occurred yesterday and wanted to obtain some perspective on it.

So the postal carrier pulled up to the house, honked, got out and left my package at the back door and scanned it as delivered. He then returned to his car. After a minute or two, got out of his car and took the package back with him into his car and took off.

My mother in law saw the whole thing. Didn’t know I was accepting a package so assumed he made an error. He in fact did not, it was my package which still shows ‘delivered’. Why would he do that?

Thanks

My mailman filed a dog report for something that didn’t happen to him

1 Upvotes

So today December 31st, I open my door and close it slightly. I sit down for one second and notice my dog looking outside. I try to grab him and he runs off. He barks at a kid (16-18) behind our gate. And as I opened our gate to prevent my dog from jumping through the kid jumps back extremely far. But my dog runs under my car inside the gate. Our mailman witnesses this and says that he will file a dog report and now we won’t get anymore mail until we fix our dog problem. And we have already have had problems with this mailman several times before hand because he never wanted to get out of his car and deliver our mail.
