Poor Postman!

Heck, I got a box of Bullets once that was busted open. Carrier brought it to me in a plastic tub with a bunch of loose bullets rolling around in the bottom. Oddly enough I think almost all bullets were accounted for, was only missing a dozen or so. Carrier offered to leave the plastic mail tub with me if I wanted it.

Believe it or not the mail clerks that sort packages in the mornings for the carriers have it in their contracts that they are allowed to literally throw packages. So if they want to take that 30lb box of lead and heave it a few feet into a hamper, and it crushes something under it, or gets torn on a sharp edge of something else, oh well. Keep this in mind next time you ship something, package appropriately.

I spent one summer (when I taught school) working at a UPS sort center; this was way back in the days of Gateway computers, etc. Those things were thrown down the chutes and conveyor belts; Snap-On Tools got the same treatment as did anything labeled "Fragile"............

Your letter carrier doesn't get squat for delivering to your door.

Interesting. I don’t know why she would have told me that.

That is odd, I asked my wife about that last night, she only said I wish.

Side note, she has delivered a few boxes of Bayou bullets recently but that’s about it. Guess not many folks in her delivery area reload.

I have no idea. When I was delivering mail that would have been called customer service by me and a time wasting practice by the stupidvisors.

Regardless of whether or not it’s actually true, I give her a nice Christmas “gift” for doing it. Substitute delivery persons usually stuff the mail into the box, right on top of the sign that says “Hardship, please deliver to front door”.

The gift is good. Have someone either remove or secure the mailbox so that it cannot be opened. If I were in the area I would do it for you.
