Netflix

If you love movies, you probably have a Netflix account.  We are big movie fans at our house, but we have been having a problem for about a year now.

Not with Netflix, but with the United States Postal Service.  "Nooo way" you say!  But yyyeeeesssss.  "Not our postal service" you protest....oohhh yes, our government employed postal service, I reply.




We live in a trailer park and have a LOCKED bank of mailboxes much like the ones pictured here:

 

When we mail our newer Netflix movies it always takes longer than the older releases.  I have been suspicious of our mail person...thinking she's probably watching them and sending them back later.  But how do you prove that?  Recently we received a badly mangled Netflix envelope in a baggy, with the standard "we are sorry about this, but shit happens" (I paraphrased).  TWICE this has happened.  What we received Saturday, though, pushed me over the edge.  



As you can see, The one on the left is just the top part that has your personal address on it, the part you tear off and throw away.

Here, again, on the top, is what we received.  ONLY the top paper.  Where's the movie you ask...I have no idea.  With the exception of the the top corner looking like it was cut off with scissors, it looks like someone tore it off and took the rest.  "I would go straight to the post office and complain" you say???  My hubby did.  The postmaster at Zeeland, MI informed him that it was a machine that the mail goes through that must have done this.  My hubby told him that we seem to have problems with other Netflix movies getting back.  Maybe someone else is messing with our mail.  As I mentioned before...we have LOCKED mail boxes.  The postmaster at Zeeland, MI suggested that we should take the time to get to know our mail person.

WTF??? Its our fault the mail isn't being properly handled because we didn't get to know who delivers our mail????  I work and my husband is sleeping when the mail is delivered (he works 3rds).  So I got online and sent a complain to the governmental institution, the United States Postal Service...here's what I wrote:


We have had a problem with our mail service concerning Netflix movies for over a year.  Recently we received a Netflix paper, neatly torn from the movie, without the movie.  When we send newer movies back to Netflix from this location, they suspiciously take much longer than older movies. We talked to Postmaster (name omitted) and he recommended that we should get to know our mail person better.  Are we getting punished because we happen to be working at the time our mail is delivered and have been unable to get to know our mail person?  If we leave them a cash gift will that take the place of our inability to be there? What amount would be good, as we do not wish to offend and worsen our situation. 


Please advise



I'm pissed (and passive-aggressive with a sarcastic nature)
