I am one of those old fashioned people that still make TTM cash payments for cards. I figure if I trust the mail to get me the card to me I can trust them to send the money for the card.
Today was a new low for me with the USPS. When I told the nice lady behind the counter that my package was supposed to be delivered last Friday she took the tracking #. When she returned after several minutes her response was it has departed a sorting facility and there is noting we can do. The said I should have the recipient go to their PO to see if the package is there.
In the last 1 1/2 years I have had some kind of problem on at least 20% of $/cards I have sent out. Luckily everything has eventually showed up. Just pi$$e$ me off that I have had more problems in the last 1 1/2 years than the previous 20 years combined.
