Sorting time also does not get equated into delivery time.... it is just something they have to do before they can deliver. Have you noticed they are always rushing around if they have to hand deliver anything?

A lot of these carriers would welcome getting fired so they could draw unemployment pay and not have to work their tails off.

Knowing this I give my carriers a lot of slack and always thank them.
This isn't an excuse for poor service.

No one forces you to take the job you do. If you dont like it, quit.

I'm sure someone else will be willing to do it the right way.
