So I was mega-pissed over the fact that I KNEW that my Amazon package had gotten to the Evil Post Office yesterday at 4:30 AM, but had yet to be delivered to my place of residence. At about 4PM, I was pissed enough to go to the USPS website and see if there was a way to send an email.

There was. A form, complete with fields to fill out my address, and even the tracking number for the package in question. I wrote a long-assed email about how much the EPO sucks (although I was more polite than that, didn’t use any swear words at all). I suggested that the USPS do an investigation as to how badly the place is being run, and if they do, they will likely agree with me that the postmaster there should be removed from his job, and the place cleaned up.

I honestly didn’t expect an answer. After I sent the email, I went and worked out on my stepper for half an hour…yeah, I’ve made it to that long now, go me!

About a half hour later, at around 5PM, there’s an actual KNOCK on the door. It was a very sullen-looking mailman with my package. He looked like I was inflicting some sort of medieval torture on him, for wanting my package delivered to me. He clearly wanted me dead, that is how cranky he looked.

It’s not normal for mail to be delivered at 5PM, and this was a different carrier than the dumbass who delivered my mail earlier.

I wonder…what exactly happened to the email I sent? Since I put the ZIP code in, did the EPO get a copy of it? Or did it just go to some higher-up USPS people, who checked the tracking number I gave, saw that I was right about it sitting there at the EPO, then contacted the EPO and ordered them to send someone to deliver it, PRONTO? If so, they sent this poor dumb schmuck, who was all set to get off work when he was told to deliver my box.

I talked about it with Mike, and he thinks that my email is what caused them to deliver it so late in the day. I didn’t get any actual response to the email, so I don’t know for sure. But it sure seems like my squeaky wheel got the grease. I mean, how can they argue with a tracking number that says EXACTLY where the package is, and how can they make an acceptable excuse for why it sat in the EPO for almost two days?

Well, hopefully, this will be the LAST piece of important mail that I ever get here. I think everything is now set up so that deliveries now go to the Good Post Office, or to Mike’s work.

I really hope my email pissed off a higher-up at the USPS, that they finally check this place out and see how very badly it sucks. I may be done with dealing with them, but if I helped other people in this shithole of a town get their mail, I did a good thing.
