Fuck the United States Postal Service
I ordered some books from Amazon on January 16th. I sent them to Don's house because I don't trust my neighbors. My package arrived on January 25th, but there was no one there to confirm delivery, so they sent it to the annex station. Don had the delivery notices. I had my daddy drive me out to the post office on Tuesday, but not only were we at the wrong station, but the station we needed to go closes at 5:00, because people just love leaving the office to pick up a package during the work day.
So today, the only day I can go, I go to the post office on West Washington. But they closed at 1:00 PM! Not only that, but the notice they gave me said they would return to sender on February 4th, which is today. So I go back to the post office on Milwaukee street, and tell them my situation. They say I need to deal with the annex, and that I should call them, and that their office was closed (thank you Captain Obvious.) What pissed me off was that they were completely unhelpful and that they didn't seem to care. They told to to try the Capital Post Office. I tried calling the USPS, and they have one of those automated phone things were you have to look like an idiot talking into the phone. They told me to call the Capital Post Office to see what I can do. We decide to drive there and deal with them in person. So Don takes me to the Capital Post Office, and they closed at 12:15 PM! What the fuck! Why bother being open at all?
So now my package is being sent back to the sender, and there is nothing I can do about it. Maybe I should tell them that it's medicine in the package. I don't want to waste money that I don't have on extra postage. Not only that, it will be another 4 weeks before I get my textbooks. I want to cry.
