The US post office really aint that bad. Look at the volume they deal with and how consistant they are as a percentage of success. If you crumple one letter out of 100000, thats pretty darn good. In all my years, I have never recieved a crumpled letter, or smashed box, so their track record with me is good.

When I was in Chicago, I would send stuff here to Arizona and it would take three days, starting on the day I sent it. It worked like clockwork. Never a day late, never a day early. Anyways, Id take our Postal Service over what some other countries have to offer smile.gif

I've had a number of letters and packages badly

damaged by the US Post, although I have to admit

they are better than they were 20 years or so

ago. But my favorite is one that was mailed by a

friend from Switzerland. He went on a trip and

sent me a letter.

3 weeks after he got home, the remains of the

letter arrived in an official Swiss Government

envelope. It had been literally shredded on

one side, with about 40% just gone, and the rest

fringed and covered with grease. A letter in

handwritten German accompanied it - I think it

may have had French too. Apparently, the piece

had entered one of their high speed sorters and

lodged in the center. The staff had to literally

dis-assemble the entire machine to get to it,

a process which took them days to accomplish.

The letter was to explain why my letter was

late, and was deeply apologetic. Here my

buddy knocks a Swiss post office offline for

a week or more, and *they* apologize to *me*

for being late! Now...That's service!

I've never received an apology from the US

Post office for any damaged mail, fwiw.
