Perhaps FedEx Needs to Rethink Their System

[Leon]

USPS needs to rethink too....here is a package's current delivery so far.

It is supposed to (eventually) come to just north of Dallas TX....I am not too confident at this point. .I guess it started out in FL in reading bottom to top..

Post Office isn't much better. I had a letter that needed to be delivered (not postmarked by a certain date) (oh, and no it wasn't a bill lol ). The address was a P.O. Box at a postal station about 15 miles away. So I drove there and asked that they place the letter in the recipient's box at their station. They told me they had to send the letter to the main mail hub for routing first. And that when they got it back, they could put it in the appropriate box.

Now I know why the Post Office is not making any money.

Leon, you should be charged extra for all of the extra travel for your package.
When I was a Postmaster, I ran into this sort of thing quite often. Many times it was because the sender was reusing a box, and the old shipping label was on the bottom of the box and the new shipping label was on top. Of course, when these packages are traveling down a belt at high speeds, the machines can't tell whether the package is upside down, so it scans the label that is showing, which may or may not be the correct label.

Your local Postmaster can easily find out if this is the case and he/she can have it pulled from the automated machinery and it can be manually processed.
