Before anyone chooses to insult me on the basis of some assumptive caricaturization, please read this:
I am not making any judgments or assumptions about the presence or absence of any problems with the USPS. I am not in denial about the potential or likelihood of large, systemic problems and/or localized ones. Indeed, it would surprise me to find that any organization, including USPS or any other, is problem-free.. And.....I really don't like people telling lies about me as a basis for insult.
That said, Jeff, it sounds like there is certainly a localized problem. In this thread, we hear of satisfied customers. We see certain Letter Carriers being lauded. It seems obvious to me that, at a minimum, your Letter Carrier is behaving poorly.
This raises the question of whether this Letter Carrier's supervisor is effectively supervising. In either case, a Postmaster General and a Congressperson are just not on point to drop what they are doing and reach out to your Letter Carrier's supervisor. If your Letter Carrier's behavior is consistent with national USPS policy, then some folks in Washington DC do need to wake up and smell the obvious coffee. But in other neighborhoods (like mine), package deliveries are instantly communicated to me in real time. Packages never arrive without this notification, and notifications are never inaccurate.
So....I am not necessarily seeing this is a problem for Congress. I could be wrong, but this appears to be a local supervisory problem. USPS may have problems that Congress needs to address, but your neighborhood's Letter Carrier supervision does not appear to be among those. To me.
