Is it really what it's cracked up to be?

I find it curious that when I have to go to the post office to pick up my return packages from NGC they have a hard time finding it in 1 out of 3 cases.

My local PO is fairly large, but the "secure" area for registered mail is within sight of the counter. Today I waited 25 minutes for them to find my NGC box... I started getting angry when they started to scour the entire back room for the package and they became a little miffed when I pointed out that the RE on the tracking number means registered, which also means it should always be under lock and key. I watched the supervisor on duty go in and out of the "secure area" and then appear from no where with the package after 25 minutes. Obviously, it wasn't where it was supposed to be even though they wouldn't own up to it...

Anyone else experiencing something similar with registered mail? I really have to wonder just how secure it is, although they haven't lost one of them yet. Glad I'm not superstitious, as I would have just jinxed myself...

The bad news is they couldn't find my insured package that I have to sign for, so I'm hoping the carrier delivered that one at home today.

I find that I have better success and far superior service with my home delivery carrier handling either inbound or outbound packages. Going to the post office is just a hassle and they don't have a clue what customer service means anymore.

End of rant.
