I recently shipped something a few miles via USPS and it just never got there. I was RMAing something and the company was nice enough to replace the item.

I've noticed USPS deliveries at my office have been very unusual lately. They often just throw the stuff on the floor near the door (there's a table for mail, etc), and when people exit the door it mashes the letters and such. Very odd. Also, it appears that the people delivering do not speak any English. I've tried to talk with them and either they are pretending to be ignorant of English or they don't understand it.

The only way to protect yourself is to ship non-USPS and insure.

I've had stuff disappear or get smashed with other shippers. It's part of the nature of cheap package delivery at massive scale.

I had UPS leave things outside my garage where they could easily get run over. Thankfully they've finally learned to put stuff at the side of the door rather than the middle.

Throwing mail on the floor is completely bizarre, though. I don't know if it would do any good, but have you complained to your local post office about that?
