    I lost my respect after they showed no concern for a live animal. I have never had one mailed like this and I thought they'd have genuine compassion at ensuring the animal got to it's destination before it dehydrated. They had no remorse.
    Im just glad he's ok. He actually cuddled into my neck when I got the box opened. I was surprised. I just made the bed and he hopped right onto the rail to watch, then came right back to my shoulder when I told him I was done. I thought he'd at least need to adjust, but he already acts comfortable and very curious.

    I have been less than impressed with the USPS for about 10 years now. Our current letter carrier would tip the scales at about 500 lbs, and can’t be bothered to leave her vehicle and bring packages to the door. We use informed delivery to track what should be arriving, and my daughter had a registered letter that was out for delivery for 5 days. It didn’t get delivered until her scheduled day off, so she didnt have to leave the vehicle. And for some reason, she can’t seem to shut the mailboxes when its raining. It’s really irritating to find your mail completed saturated. My whole neighborhood complains to the Postmaster all the time, but nothing ever changes. They are currently organizing a group letter to the Postmaster General, detailing all the previous unanswered complaints. There’s no way I’d ship a live animal with them.

    TL;DR - The USPS is not what it used to be.
    Well, I feel better in knowing I'm not the only one being targeted in this way.

    It's only been in the past year, and I'm guessing that's when this mail lady started this route, that things changed for the worse.

    At first she asked that we got a mailbox that would accommodate packages, and I'm not talking just small packages. We said no, just leave them on the doorstep.
    Then we started getting notices with the mail that it wasn't safe to leave the package on the doorstep. We complained to the postmaster that after many years of having packages left without any being stolen, how is it now it's unsafe. I even explained that if I find it valuable enough that I even insure them against theft.

    Finally, since complaint after complaint, the packages, although left in the driveway, are at least being left. You can tell that she makes no effort to get out of her vehicle.

    The funny thing is, Amazon delivers, some items through USPS, at times on Sunday and then it's neatly stacked right next to the door.

    My understanding is they are smart birds and learn quickly.
    Unlike postal employees.

    One of the unintended benefits of one of those RING doorbells is getting to watch the USPS abuse your mail, as well as your property.

    And, if you're quick about it, you can remark on it ... except that is guaranteeing just more retribution down the road.
    I have a Ring Doorbell, and watch her regularly. We even get the videos of our wonderful mail lady shared from our neighborhood.

    Sunday delivery for us is usually handled by the Postal Supervisor that lives in the neighborhood. Funny coincidence, his mailbox always gets shut, and his packages always seem to make it to his door too.

    We have a great one now, but too good.
    She'll soon be replaced by Moe, Curly or Larry.

    ETA: Be interesting to see if this works, or if they've changed the original deal to cost more to share with a link.

    So does Jeremy have a picture of his truck on his nightstand and a pink lampshade?

    Sorry. I meant Snookums.
