Lazy Letter Carrier

I love the post office.  My dad has been a letter carrier for over twenty years now and I support the postal service all the time.  Whenever sending a package, USPS is always what I use.  It's not only because their prices are usually cheaper; it's also because it's a way to support my dad.  Most letter carriers that I've had have been excellent until now. 

We have lived in our house for seven months now and since the beginning the letter carrier assigned to our route frustrates me so much.  The time she delivers the mail is consistent, which is a good thing.  But what frustrates me the most is that she has never delivered a package to our door.  We do get a lot of packages because we do do some shopping online - you can find some great deals online.  Yes, the letter carrier would have to come up a set of stairs to get to our door, but that's normal for our area.  Most of the houses in our city are bi-level houses and require visitors to go up some stairs to get to the door.  Our letter carrier has never brought a package to our door.  Usually she will leave the package in the doorway near the garage door.  This frustrates me for a few reasons:
1. The package is always left in clear view of the street.  Anyone could come along and steal it.  It has not happened yet, but it could. 
2.  We live in Washington and it rains a lot! Our packages are ALWAYS wet - she never puts it in an area that will shield it from the rain.  The products inside have not been damaged yet because of rain, but it could someday!

After asking my Dad about this practice and knowing that the letter carrier should never leave packages out in the elements, I complained to the post office.  I wanted to make sure that the letter carrier was not following the rules before I got her in trouble.  But, my complaint was not taken seriously.  She continues to be lazy and stays in her jeep.

Today was the final straw for me.  I went to get the mail from the mailbox today and saw a "Sorry We Missed You" note in our mailbox.  I never left the house today and she missed me?  NO!  She did not even try to bring the certified letter to our door.  I bet she wrote out the note before she even left the office today because she knew she wasn't going to leave the comfort of her jeep to come to our door - and today is a nice sunny day. She wouldn't even need to brave the rain.

When we go to pick up the package tomorrow, I'm going to put in another complaint.  This is ridiculous.  The post office is over six miles away from our house and totally out of our way!  I wonder if this complaint will change anything?
