I had the worst mail carrier in the world in our last house. Terrrrrible. She was afraid of my neighbor's dogs so started just dropping our packages out the SUV window (I mean literally dropping). First with a bag on it, then with no bag, so if it rained package would be soaked. I had things damaged, and when I talked to teh supervisor about it (the entire PO was terrible there) they were like, oh was it insured? I can't understand why the sender was supposed to insure it against the driver deliberately and literally dropping the box out in the middle of the driveway, unbagged, in the summertime in NC with afternoon thunderstorms. The supervisor also said well, your other option is that you get a receipt to pick it up at the PO. Realllly fun to lug 3 kids to the PO for every package. I would try to intercept and sit on my front porch, but she'd zoom right to the mailbox, leave the card saying I had a package at the PO and take off again.
My current mail carrier is so nice. DH had a package shipped to him recently that was short on postage and our carrier paid it for us until we paid him back the next day. He reminds me of a mail carrier out of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood...the classic, cheerful mail carrier. We tip him every year now because having experienced the opposite end of the spectrum, he is appreciated tremendously! We wish we could tip him more than what the official rules dictate, because he deserves every bit of it. Especially because he has to deliver my 9 million amazon packages per month
