At least I'm not the only one who thinks the mail delivery in Somerville is awfulFun story: when we first moved in here, five years ago, our mail carrier wrote us a note telling us to put our names on the mailbox. So we did, and the next day, it was stuffed with a bunch of mail for the former tenants (whose names WEREN'T on the mailbox). I wonder ( Read more... )

Yeah, we filed a change of adress multiple times, and STILL had stuff getting delivered to Waterhouse many months later...

Oh yeah, plus disappearing health care/debit cards, and who knows what we never found out that we didn't get.

Shit, you never got that box of drugs and human organs crudely packed in ticker tape? I always wondered why you never said anything

Dude, the post office everywhere sucks cause there's no security and they can't be fired. That = lazy fucks and thieves.

Somerville seems way worse than anywhere else I've lived, though. I get other people's mail all the time, I can't imagine who gets my mail.

I think Medford is slightly better. Once I sent a letter from Somerville to Brighton and it took THREE WEEKS to get there. Shit, I could've walked it over. And when I called to complain, the number was really hard to find and when I eventually got it, the guy I needed to talk to was only there between the hours of 7am and 8am. Seriously?

nat sends hugs to you both.

unfortunately, he sent them in the mail, so you won't get them

Tell him I said good luck with all his rolling.

Well, he's very young and doesn't know much about the postal system yet!

My favorite postal story is the day I saw a DC delivery person sorting mail in stacks on the sidewalk while talking on her Bluetooth. I had to pick my way through the stacks to get by and she didn't even look up.

I thought it was all post offices in the area until I moved to Allston.

Our Allston post office is excellent! Our mail carriers are funny and say hi when I see them, and when we've actually gone to the post office the longest we have waited was 15 minutes, and that's because there was a line of about 8 people and not because the counter was open but the counter person wasn't at it.
