USPS fuckery

So I recently moved to a different town, and decided to set up a PO box there. I set up this PO box at the post office last Wednesday.
I walked over there today to check my mail for the first time at the new box, and to my surprise my key won't open it. So I ask the person working behind the desk about it, and she says that there is no record of my name ever setting up a PO box there. (the lady that said this is the same one who rented me the box last week.)
I get VERY important things in the mail. She assured me that with my new key I would get mail. But the whole thing feels sketchy.
What are some of your bad experiences with the USPS?

Unrelated, but UPS still hasn't delivered my fucking Madden 25 yet. That shit should have been on my porch first delivery this morning.
But, I mean, you have paperwork saying you signed up for the box, right? Why would you get sketchy things sent to a PO Box in your own name?

I've been debating all day whether not to roll up to GameStop to get it or not. But I heard they did away with franchise mode, and that was a big part of the game for me.
So I guess I'm not going to get it.

That's fucked up, did she remember renting it to you?

The last two packages I had I never got
One was returned, one was lost.
I'd have to say it was only because they were packaged very shitty

Apparently she doesn't remember renting it to me.

I ordered some supplies (verm, coir) from a shroomery vendor via amazon - what normally takes about 10 days took 2.5 months! According to Amazon USPS tracking, the package was stuck in the Richmond (CA) sorting facility. Googled it and it turns out that this particular sort facility has been a black hole for parcels for several years. Beware of the USPS Richmond, CA sort facility.
But my best one was when I lived in the Solomon Islands. Order a fancy dive mask from a US vendor through eBay (this was about 4 years ago). Item never turned up, liaised with the vendor to no avail, and I've since moved countries a couple of times. Last year I got an email from a friend there who said my mask had turned up at the post office - after 3 fucking years.

Stuff like this makes me laugh. Why would you assume UPS would deliver to you, a residence, first thing in the morning?
I love when people are expecting a package and get impatient about it and end up calling UPS asking where it is. The most common one I hear is "Hey my package says its out for delivery, can I just meet up with the driver somewhere and get my package?" FUCK NO, you can wait until the driver is in your area and they will deliver it to your residence then!
Or they will call UPS or a UPS store and ask "Hey can you track a package for me so I can see where it is? I can give you the tracking number" FUCK NO, if you have the tracking number just go online and track it your damn self!!!
Sorry, I have to vent sometimes because I have worked for both UPS and UPS store locations and this shit was the most annoying shit ever! People are too fucking impatient dont understand that they arent the only person UPS delivers to!
