So here we go again. Informed Delivery shows my new Medicare Part D in mail for tonight, several cards and Express Scripts. The Express Scripts was delivered but nothing else. So the question is now, was she late and wanted Friday night off early? Delivered wrong mailbox? Deliver tomorrow? Or never? My experience is usually never. Carriers are contract and don't give a flying fornication on delivering mail, hell prob is in a ditch somewhere. Why in hell are there contract drivers delivering mail? I am sure they are religiously vetted. This is utter 
that time and time again stuff doesn't get delivered. No way to report it.

Report to the postmaster at the distribution center your mail comes from. We have a contract mail guy also. We only get mail Tuesday and Friday being really remote. The delivery guy works for the Contractor that has several routes and several delivery people. Complaints to the postmaster at the distribution center go directly to the contractor that loses the contract if there's too many complaints. There's a definite chain of command.So here we go again.

Man, i sure am glad my mail people aren't like yours. My mailman showed up at nine o'clock last night to deliver a package down my quarter of a mile driveway. It was only -2F and no wind, so not exactly a killer of a day, but still, I get my mail, and I get my packages every day. Tomorrow, the wind chills should reach -35F. Anyone justice is dependable back in Iowa.
Same as @BrentD. I feel for you that your local USPS sucks so bad.
Contrary to your experiences, here in NW MT I’ve had a few packages this week and last delivered a few days early. Same with Fed Ex and UPS. Even during inclement weather.
Blaming it on immigrants and worn out election conspiracy theories is laughable at best.

I do feel for you guys that have so much trouble.
We live quite rural. No local post office.
We rely heavily on UPS, USPS and FEDEX for all kinds of things.
We had one hangup this week, a Christmas gift arrived, 1 day late by UPS. Not sure what that was about. No big deal.
Our mail is also contract. Aside from her just getting here early afternoon most times, no real complaints.
Meds come from either SLC over night FEDEX, and they get here by 10 AM, or they come from the town 50 miles away, and get here next day.
All kinds of different people, men, women, black, Hispanic. They all just seem to want to work and do a good job.
Merry Christmas.

You need one of those illegal immigrant deliverers that was mentioned above. They would have been done by 4 PM.
Unmatchable work ethic

I suppose. The guy that delivered the package at nine p m last night delivered another package at eleven this morning.
Complaining about delivery companies is sort of like complaining about airlines. It seems everyone on the internet has a horror story. Each one with a different actor playing the part of the bad guy. I only have airline stories, though. Delivery companies have not given me any plot material to work with.
