Vent: Even though I have almost perfect handwriting on my package, it has been bouncing back and forth between two sorting facilities in Wisconsin ALL WEEK.
Just ignore this if you don't need or want to read either.
Advice: Don't use the TO and FROM labels provided by the U.S. Postal Service. Apparently they are to close together for the scan to read the package correctly.

Advice: Mail Christmas packages early!!!!!!!
Vent: Even though it says "Priority 2-3 days" I figured with the holidays 4-5 days would be acceptable/understandable. I have NO idea when my friend is going to get her package, at this point.
Advice: Get the local number of your post office, any way possible.
Vent: When you call the 1-800 number on the website, you do NOT get to talk to an acutal person. That is not even an option.
Advice: Get delivery confirmation AND a receipt. Check the delivery confirmation number yourself within 2 days of being sent.
I am a very detail oriented person. Stuff like this DRIVES me NUTS!!!!! I dont like feeling like I have to 'baby-sit' other people while they do THEIR job.
ONE happy note: The clerk at my LOCAl post office is VERY helpful courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am so thankful for that!!! All of this mess is NONE of her fault, but she is helping the best she can to correct it.
I feel sorry for the people who work at the Post Office. (the ones who care about doing a good job) Talk about extreme frustration with the entire system!

My son is on a base in Texas. I sent him a package priority, was suppose to be there on the fifteeth, as of yesterday he didn't get the package or any cards or the other small package I sent him. Now the post office on base is shut down for Christmas, and his dining hall is shut down. I paid a lot to make sure he got it on time and feel I sent early enough.
