USPS incompetent?...hmm, let me think.
.
1) Last Sept. I received my VISA statement, the envelope had been opened and taped shut, my address circled in red and "Wrong address" written in red. Dumbasses delivered to wrong house.
I called PO office, spoke w/"Postmaster" who barely spoke English. She said they were training new folks.

2) In Nov., same thing happened but w/MasterCard statement...Dumbasses delivered to wrong house.
I called same "Postmaster"...same story. She apologized.

3) This Jan. I bought a set of OEM keys for a vehicle from an eBay company...seller emailed me a Del. Confirm. #.
USPS site said it was rec'd by seller's PO...date/time, etc. Two weeks later, no keys.
I check USPS site, it said package was rec'd by my PO on a certain date, and no other info.
I called "Postmaster" again. She said, "It looks like we did receive it here, but it was not deliver-scanned."
Then she said - Get This!, "Why don't you contact the seller and have them send you another set free. Sometimes they'll do that. I think your keys are sitting on someone's coffee table."

4) This Feb., I bought a $162 Yamaha CDI unit from an eBay company in New Zealand...wrong unit. Sent back for refund.
All manner of insurance and sig. required, del. confirm., etc.
It's now lost in the system somewhere between SF and LA.
Had to fill out forms to find it...no word yet.

5) Last week, rec'd my American Exp. card statement. You guessed it...opened and taped shut.

I worked for the gov't for 9 yrs. It's a slacker haven.
