I've had that same thing happen once or twice. You'd think the box would get worn completely out from handling by the time it reaches destination.

I've long supported the USPS system. Seems they do pretty well alongside the other pkg carriers. But, one big policy I disagree with is their handling of local mail. We have a 2-3 person post office with a Postmaster. But, if I mail a letter to someone else in my town of Chebanse, and personally deposit it in the Chebanse Post office, during normal hours, the letter is sent to Champaign that night, then the next day, or the day after that (or more if winter storms), it's sent back to Chebanse for the Postmaster to distribute via either rural carrier or otherwise. You'd think in the name of efficiency, they would just leave the letter here at Chebanse & maybe even have it out for distribution that same day as I deposit it.

That one irks me.
