I think a lot depends on the part of the country... or maybe just the town. When I was in Longmont, CO, the people in the P.O. were Waaaay nice, the mail delivery was excellent. There was such a good feeling in the P.O. that you wanted to smile and say thank you and please. They had P.O annexes in a couple of Hardware stores scattered about the town, too. Just a counter and nice people. Of course, I get the same nice in the graciousness in the tiny P.O. where I live now, but in Palmdale or Lancaster, the "big" P.O.s have that same kind of " aren't you through yet?" or "sigh.. I'm here for you..... sorta." And because of the home delivery, I have a box, too.

Yes, I have had quite a few things get lost, often because someone mistakes "Beavercreek, OR" for "Bevercreek, OH" or "Beavercreek, CO". Most often they deliver things just fine. While we hear a lot about the problems - like a friend's entry that took 9 days to go 25 miles - we do not hear about the millions of pieces of mail that show up when and where they should, come hell or high water. It always seems everyone is taking a break when WE need service - but then maybe our view is not the total view of the situation. I will be going to the PO Box tonight and I suspect my Review will be there.
