I wonder if the USPS issues that some of you experience are not the result of your local Post office management.

I regularly send envelopes and small parcels to and from Scotland a couple times a week with zero issues. Four days is the transit time. I overlooked sending a Christmas card a year or two ago. I placed it in my own mailbox on 20 December, figuring it would arrive well after Christmas. It was delivered on 24 December. I've yet seen anything take longer than four days to make it across, in either direction.

Aye, Mike -- my grandfather worked for the US Post Office for almost 40 years, retiring as the Assistant Postmaster of our city. If someone is having this much trouble getting mail delivered, then ask to speak to the Postmaster -- not the manager of station, the Postmaster in charge of the entire operation in your city -- you don't need lawyer, and it doesn't cost anything. Postal Inspectors are another possibilty, especially if parcels are being stolen -- tampering with the mails is a federal offence.
