The house I lived in previously had super lazy USPS contractors delivering the mail. I was waiting outside next to the mailbox one day waiting for a package. The mail delivery person arrived, put the mail in the box and promptly drove away. No package though, just a note saying she attempted to deliver the package but no one was home! WTF!! I was standing right there, so she obviously made no attempt to deliver it. Turns out that she would not even bring packages that were too big for a mailbox. Instead she just made notes and put them in the mailboxes. I went to my local PO (to retrieve the package) and demanded to speak with the manager. I told her what had happened and that it happened a lot. After that I got my packages delivered to my front door like they should have been all along.
