Postal "service"?

[gridlore]

I just got back from another 2 mile walk.. just to mail my unemployment form. There are no pick-up boxes anywhere near us. Trust me, we've looked. And I've tried to leave outgoing mail in our mailbox (a communal one, out on the street with lots of little boxes for the various apartments) but the next day it is still there.

Since I can't drive, I have to walk two miles just to mail a letter. I could give it to Kirsten to mail while she's at work, but she gets so busy that she sometimes forgets that the letter is even there, and it sits in her clipboard for days. Not a good thing when you are sending time-sensitive material.

I would have complained to someone at the Post Offal, but the line was filling the place with one (1) clerk working!

And they wonder why people are using FedEx and UPS?

Can you not file online in California?

This is the paperwork that comes with the check.. it has to be singed and mailed.

Hopefully you used the proper heat source for official purposes. <g, d & r>

If you could document this, say, with dated photos, or statements from others in the complex (or a written statement from the manager, if they're on site) you could file a formal complaint with the post office.
They're required to pick up mail that's been left in designated recepticles. It's their ass if they aren't
