The Post Office is stunningly bad now, it has been this way in the past 2-3 years. It is to a point where many companies, including our own are working to switch all A/R to electronic only. Which actually complicates things, but mailed checks are getting lost and delayed everywhere so often that we are having to do it.
Now - I have worked with the Post Office for over 30 years as a printer/news media - the 2 biggest changes are they went from way-way too top heavy - too many administrators/managers and not enough workers - to now low on both. Working for the Post Office use to be a very good blue collar job with GREAT benefits. Today - they can't get help worth a nickel like everyone else as our youth today, literally do not feel like they should have to work hard.
