After repeated issues of delivery problems with USPS, I send everything that can’t go electronic by UPS or FedEx. USPS does a great job with junk/advertisement mail—they are the specialists in junk mail delivery!

Things change. My last route carrier was a USPS employee, had to retire on disability. He and all other route carriers as they retire/quit are being replaced with contract employees. IMO that equates to you get what you pay for. There is no-one over 40 at our local post office.

I have been full timing since October 2016 and have been using Americas’s mailbox in South Dakota, have never had an issue with receiving mail.
My mail is always sent to the location i direct them to send it to and they always follow up with an email with a tracking number.

My local usps would have to vastly improve to suck!
Packages/mail I needed have been lost or taken an incredible amount of time to get here. It seems that ups, fedex, and Amazon are having the same problems.

We have transferred all of our accounts to paperless when possible. We have our son and his family living with us so about every week or two a large envelope comes to our Rv resort full of the mail that still has to be delivered. We tak our chances with that. But ironically the junk mail gets right through.....hmmm!

I think that if the usps were a business it would be out of business. We are waiting for improvements or something better to come along!

Went full time 10 years ago and one figuring a 4X4 of not and two where to send the mail. After research found a number of Companies that handle mail for full timers. All my mail goes to the Service then the Service once a week sends me a email with the mail received. I can then review and direct the Service to forward to wherever I am that week, or hold till I have arrived at my new location. These Services are inexpensive and extremely competent. Research as prices very and so does service. I use the one out of Wichita Falls, Tx, for years very good, SECURE and easy to get alone with.
