Postal Frustations New Orleans
Editor, the Times-Picayune
The three-cent jump in first class mail is the straw that broke me.
When we had just a three-cent stamp, we had two deliveries a day in the residential sections and far superior service than we have today. My personal experience will testify to that.
When I moved this past October, I used the kit which the post office furnishes. The first card is addressed postmaster on one side and the back is where you furnish your old address, new address, etc. I filled in both sides, giving all information requested - and where was it delivered?. Back to me at my old address.
I called the Main Office and they told me to mail it again, which I did. For over two weeks, my mail was going to the old address, so I again called the main office, and the party told me to put it in an envelope and address it to the postmaster at my old branch, as she had checked and found the first card had not been received.
To top off this service, I received a letter which was not for me. I wrote on the envelope "Not at this address." It came back to me twice and then I took it over to the branch office and asked them how I could get rid of this letter which did not belong to me. And what did I find in my mail the next day? This same letter. I mailed it in a box again and again it came back to me.
This is worth three cents extra!
We all know prices have gone up, but at least the service has remained the same in other services. They say the postal service is in the red, and you can understand it when they keep sending the same letter back and forth -- and I am sure I am not the only one. And they are going to lose more money because I and several people I have talked to now intend to hand deliver payments on their bills.
