I am sorry what was the point of your two cents this time.

I suppose I could ask you the same thing...what was the point of your two cents?

Have I EVER said anything you have EVER agreed with.

I don't know as I respond to posts, not users.

I cannot understand why whenever I post you find it necessary to comment and in the opposite.  While I was not trying to come off as a dick to addicted because he is generally a nice guy, you automatically had to jump on your soap box.  Why can't you just admit you do not like me or what I have to say and stop following everyone of my post with a nasty comment?

First, I don't know you well enough to like or dislike you.

Second, I don't follow every one of your posts with a nasty comment and, just to be sure, I went back and looked.  In the past 12 months, you have made more than 80 posts.  Prior to the above, I have made 10 posts directed at you, and 6 of those 10 were in a multi-post thread.  That being the case, I am not sure where you are getting your impressions from.

Third, it was not my intent to be nasty.  My original post was nasty and was directed at you.  Since that wasn't what I intended, I changed it to the more general statement about those types of posts.  Clearly it didn't matter as you still took it as an attack on you.  For that, I apologize.

No
2% loss is totally unacceptable.

While the USPS does not disclose these numbers, it is estimated that they lose between 3-5% every year.

Quoting Katatonia:
Quote:

I had an Express Mail package delivery the other day from Japan. I was in the back of the house, and heard the doorbell ONCE. I got to the door as quick as I could, and there sat the "We Missed You!" notice. Oh yeah... they really tried hard to deliver it.

At least he rang... mine don't even had the package on him sometimes and left the note only, catch him doing it one day I was waiting at my mailbox

Of course now I always get the delivery slip as I've requested to have no package deliver at my house because too many were lost (2 in 5 months are too many in my book). Walking to the post office isn't the end of the world and no more lost package for me.

The USPS could definitely be more efficient but theft is also a very plausible possibility since the USPS tracking system has a lot to be desired.

I-Team: 9,464 customers report lost or stolen mail
