I once had a letter delivered directly to my mail box promptly.

The real problem is that we should have the right to expect all letters
to be delivered directly to our mailboxes promptly.  Too often they
have personnel problems for which we suffer while they do nothing to
solve the problems.  For example, the carrier to my condo building
often seems to be spaced out or something.  I find a letter in my box
which belongs in a different box at the same building, and by
coincidence the carrier is just leaving, so I give it to her and tell
her it was in the wrong box, and she tries to deliver it to my box
again.  There is not even much similarity between the box numbers, and
no similarity between the names.

I think one problem is that a lot of customers are afraid that if they
complain their carrier will get annoyed and sabotage their mail.  Since
the postal service has a monopoly, we have to be careful what we say to
them, because we rely on them, which gives them power over us.  In a
free country, anyone who wanted to start a postal service would be able
to, and the competition would keep them on their toes.
