And the Post Office wonders why they are loosing business to the internet...
They can't even deliver high priority Registered letters competently.

Ever try to mail a package on a Saturday? 20-25 people in line, with only 2 postal workers behind the counter. The counter has 4-5 stations at it, but most are unmanned.
Invariably, one takes off for one reason or another, and the remaining one goes into slowdown mode. So it takes over an hour at the post office (not counting travel time) to get one package sent off.

Thank God for contract mail offices - they get paid by the piece handled and are very quick to get you in and out. Hardly ever see a waiting line in there...
