I'm just glad that the neighbor who's box is before mine are really good folks I trust.
I see these stories, and it seems clear that some Letter Carriers are more diligent than others. This should surprise no one. This happens in all occupations and all organizations public and private.

And I can't help wondering whether customers 'fixing' these delivery problems is part of the problem. If the Letter Carrier had to fix their own problems, then perhaps greater care would be taken by them in the first place. Perhaps deliver the important-looking mail directly to your neighbor, but mark the junk mail "Wrong address....Try again" and place it in the outgoing mail slot. Or save it up for a time, then personally deliver it directly to the manager (Postmaster).
