USPS fail.

[brutal]

I've had similar experience and get especially pissed when it's a UPS hand-off that USPS then fucks up.

To their credit, they quickly tracked down a package I dropped in a self service kiosk without a delivery or return address and got it to it's destionation without cycling back through the system. Yup, I slapped the label on, and then got distracted with a call. I realized after I dropped it in the box that I hadn't addressed it. A few calls in the morning and it was on it's way to the recipient. The guy that was helping even hopped a truck to the sort facility to find it. Key was to start at the local PO and not the 800 number. I think if the worker bees got to run things, it might be different.

Ups and FedEx are ten times better.
