Yeah, this is the kind of quality service I usually expect from the
Postal Service.  They do things like that all the time (don't even
require a signature).  I paid $10 to get my brother's car title shipped
to him over night, and they just left it on top of his mail box (they
told me this) and he never got it.  So now he has a car with a disputed
title (harder to sell or trade in) because he had to request a replacement.
The Post Office was unable to comprehend what was wrong with their service
much less admit they did anything wrong.  MORAL: don't use the Post Office
for anything if you can help it.  I used to work for an airline, and we
used to ship mail for the USPS, and I was amazed at how much of it got lost
when boxes opened and it went under conveyor belts and such.

Do the same for the Post Office.
