The USPS SUCKS

You would think that if the post office gives you a PO box for free they'd know the street addresses of the owners and automatically put it into your box.

But that would make sense. 😜

I had 2 small parcels/cds expected to be delivered on Thursday. Only 1 was in the mailbox Thursday night. That parcel was scanned about 610 pm. The other parcel was scanned delivered but nearly an hour earlier. That makes no sense.  Went to post office Friday and carrier admitted package was misdelivered. I'm hoping the CD will arrive still but not holding my breathe. Nothing in mailbox Friday night.

In our first house, one day I received a bundle of CDs in padded envelope, along with one that had a book. It was not addressed to me, anyone on our short street, or even anyone in our subdivision, but it had a delivery confirmation sticker.

I stuck it in my maiblox the next day and hoped they would get it to the right addressee.

I had a human head misdelivered to me.

However, every other service (Amazon, UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc), delivers to my door.  So if something ships by UPS, I generally use my street address for delivery.  But if they swap it out (like UPS Mail Innovations does) and give it to the Post Office for final delivery, it sometimes gets returned to the sender because it has a street address on it, and not a PO Box.  
 

I'm in a sort of similar bind.  UPS and FedEx absolutely refuse to deliver to P.O. Boxes.  But if you are mailing a passport to the US for renewal, they only give you a P.O. Box.  Well, as you may or may not have heard Canada Post workers were on strike for 3 weeks and they were forced back to work (and are seriously unhappy about that).  Due to the backlog, they simply refused to accept mail to the States for another week or so.  (Apparently, Canada Post can mail to P.O. boxes...)  The FedEx folks said I was completely out of luck.  UPS looked up the street address and hopefully the passport will get to the right place, but I have serious doubts.  🥺
