Bad mail service here, too; erratic delivery, irregular pick-ups and packages wedged into the tiny mail slot/left on the steps/on the ground despite a sign on the box asking for packages to be left on the porch. Jerry always had a friendly word and did his job well; we'll miss him.

Unfortunately, due to the consolidation of routes, Jerry was moved to a new office position.He mentioned his move to my husband, whom he referred to as "Mr. Van Horn," a couple of weeks ago.Even the kids at Powell knew him as their friendly postman. He was very much part of our neighborhood and even made an appearance during the N&O's tornado coverage of the Miller's recovery efforts.We have been having erratic outgoing service lately too… for my neighbors, one side of the street will have service while across the street will not?Best, Vanessa
If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later.~GoetheSent from my iPadHe will definitely be missed. I have had issues with my outgoing mail lately as well. Hopefully the new carrier(s) will eventually take as much pride in their work as he did.

I had been hoping that our neighborhood USPS carrier (Jerry) was just on vacation, when I noticed that my outgoing mail was no longer being picked up and incoming mail was being wedged between the flap of my box instead of being put inside my box.
When I noticed today that mail is still being wedged in the flap, I called the post office and found out that Jerry will not be coming back to our route. (I did not call to complain, just to find out what was up. And I've left a note for the new lady and hope that she will start leaving mail inside my box.)
Anytime we had a substitute carrier and I got the neighbor's mail, or other sloppy service, it always made me appreciate what a great job Jerry always did. He was a friendly and conscientious guy, and mail delivery in our neighborhood will not be the same without him.
