[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3743697, member: 45773"] I'm generally not too harsh on the USPS and I prefer them over UPS or FedEx. But... I don't know if it's our carrier in Ada or someone else at the post office in Ada but it's pretty much the worst experience with a post office I've had. We're not getting mail that's been sent twice by our bank. Our carrier has brought mail to our house and put mail in our box that I placed on the road according to all the guidelines. Suddenly, I have to move the box to a location I can't put a box without a lot of effort and expense. All because he likes to turn around in our driveway and he'd have to back up an extra car length to get to the box after turning around. Never mind the fact I placed the box at an old driveway location with plenty of room to turn around...20 feet from the current driveway entrance. He's saying (and the postmaster is taking his side) we have to move the box to the other side of the driveway so the carrier can turn around and pull up to the box after turning around. And the location he marked is covered in concrete. It's completely ridiculous. But that frequently happens when bureaucracy wins out over common sense. In addition, I won't be able to turn into the driveway from the south while towing a trailer if I put the box where they want it because there's not enough room. I guess I'll just rent a PO box in Francis. The $50 or $60 cost will be worth it over the temptation to punch the carrier in the throat next time I see him. [/QUOTE]
