I just wanted to say that I have always wondered if the Post Office is a government agency. Well my question was answered when I read that the postage rates are increasing again. First of all, I consider the system an office rather than an entity that provides a service of any kind. I am sure that you will all agree, we can get better service from a communist than we get from the post office, therefore I refuse to acknowledge them as a postal service. We are getting screwed again by a government agency that is raising their prices and not doing their jobs. I called the post office this morning and talked to a very nice lady that did her best to answer my question which was 'IS THE POST OFFICE A GOVERNMENT AGENCY?' Strangely, she put me on hold and I guess went to someone else to get the answer. When she came back on line she told me that the post office is a government agency. I thanked her for the information and let her go. I just wanted to tell everyone that the giant mystery is finally solved. THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE IS INDEED A GOVERNMENT AGENCY and is run by the same group of crooks that have been running our country and gotten us in trouble. The same greedy suckers that reward instead of punish big business for screwing the consumer. Anyway, we still will not get any SERVICE from the post office. Have a wonderful day now and get to the post office to buy the extra .02 cent stamps that you will need to use your .42 cent stamps that you just bought two months ago.

Mail Service on California Avenue and 18-19th Street is not being delivered until anywhere from 5-6 PM. It used to be delivered in late morning, early afternoon. Who is the person to speak to about this terrible service.

In April of 2007 my son David Zoltowski filed a change of address form with the post office. Everything was fine until my mail for Daniel Zoltowski stated being forwarded to my son's address (21305 Joliet, Macomb, MI 48044). I contacted the local post office and asked them to be sure they only forwarded David's mail. All mail is using the full name and not the initial. My bills continued to be sent to my son. I visited the local post office 3 times and each time was assured that it would be taken care of. The last visit I received an explanation that the bills are sorted a another company which is sub-contracted to do this job and then forwarded to the post office for delivery. I was told the sub-contractor would be cotcted and told not to forward mail addressed to Daniel. This didn't work either. The vendors started changing my address on all my bills sending them directly to my son. I had to contact the vendors and explain I had not moved and to NOT change the billing address on my accounts. April came and I thought now everything will be ok because David's change of address form had expired. Boy, was I wrong. I have received 3 calls this week because I had not paid bills (of coure I had not received these bills). I found that now the post office is sending my mail back to whomever sent it. My charge account holder called me and informed me that there was a hold on my account because I had not paid my bill. After talking to them I found that my bills had been returned to them as njon-deliverable. I am totally frustrated. Today I spoke to the City of Sterling Heights concerning an Absentee Ballot and they informed me that they had sent the request to my home and it was returned to them as undeliverable. I don't know how much more mail I have not received, but the junk mail sure arrives. HELP! I don't know what to do.

I live in Center, North Dakota, (58530) and I am wondering why we are required to pay for mail delivery when most of the United States gets free delivery. Our post office box charge has changed from $15.00 per year to $38.00 per year and it seems really unfair that the only way we can get mail delivery is by renting a post office box and why is the fee not waived? Also, if a person lives 1/2 mile from the post office the fee is waived. We are located a little over 1/2 mile (less than 3/4 mile) and we are required to pay. This seems really unfair.
