I have had only two different PO boxes in over 30 years. At each PO, nearly every clerk new me and each Postmaster also knew me due to my daily drop-offs and pickups. They went to great lengths whenever there was a problem, to find the item or get it to me.(like a 52 mantle that Fedex dropped off at the wrong house that got taken to the PO by the elderly recipient and the lady at the PO new to contact me).. Even now I sometimes go in and ask for some help on one stuck in the system and they get me the internal detailed report.
On the two occasions that I had postal insurance claims back in the old days, each was promptly paid without delay.
They hold my packages and even call me when I have several registered or other express items so that I can come get them.
It certainly doesn't hurt to develop and maintain a rapport with those handling your valuable items....
