Now there is NO excuse for that to happen. I got the story that for some reason they (the post office) was shipping off all the mail to a city over 300 miles away to have them sort the mail and then they were bringing it the over 300 miles back. I highly doubt that first class mail from one zip code to the SAME zip code gets treated this way. I may be young...not THAT young. (not born yesterday that is) MORONS!

They ship ours 300 miles away. If you mail anything on Saturday, it does not go to the local post office....it takes a side trip to Richmond and then comes back. I'm not kidding. Anything mailed then arrives cancelled with a Richmond stamp, not Hampton Roads.

Boy am I glad to hear that I am not the only one who has so many problems. Right now I live in an apartment complex and for every 2 buildings, there is one big box that has a dozen individual boxes. I get mail for people who are in my building and mail for people on the other side of the whole complex. Sure, this isn't too big of a deal except that I get an average of 10 - 15 pieces of mail each week that don't belong to me

. I used to nicely go around and deliver it to the correct people, but who has the time for all of that? Now I just throw it back in the mail, but mind you we don't have a mailbox to send mail out.....so that still requires a special trip out. There have been so many times that I have not received some of my bills or someone brought them to me after the due date (not their fault.....they don't get paid to deliver the mail) that I now keep a running list of all of my bills for each month just incase one doesn't come in the mail.

Also, this past Christmas I had to mail quite a few boxes out. While a couple of them got to their places quickly, some were ridiculous. One package that was supposed to take 2 days took exactly 2 weeks.....another than was supposed to take 5-7 days took well over a month!

In response to the original post, I have had to argue that my address exists as well. When I was in college and living with my parents, I had ordered some school books and they should have been there before class started. Well, after my first week of classes, they still weren't there and I got a card in the mail saying that they could not find my address (I guess they thought the mailman would be a little better at doing this

) so I called and gave them very specific directions. A couple of days later I got another card saying that the address does not exist. So when I called them, they proceeded to tell me that my address didn't exist. After asking where the hell I was calling from then I asked how in the hell I received the card they mailed to me if my address didn't exist?!?!?!?!?! Luckily, the manager was able to find my place the next day and deliver my books. To top it all off, I had paid double in shipping so that they would be there in 2 days.......but it took 3 weeks!

Still no call back from my complaint yesterday, but I did get one piece of mail today. It was a Valentines Day card that my sister had sent me, it was postmarked Feb 2nd....

I mean, COME ON, it does not take a month to mail ONE STINKIN CARD!

Thanks to the postoffice I was depressed on Valentines day because I did not get a card in the mail. I wonder if I can sue for damages that I sustained from not getting the card in time for Valentines day??? It's a thought
