Mail-person Sucks

Our current mail-person sucks.
Most mail that is scheduled for delivery, either doesn't show up on time or goes to the wrong address. When it comes to packages if they don't fit in the mailbox they make it as far as the driveway, where they are leaned against the garage door, even if it's pouring down rain. Had a leather sling show up a few weeks ago, that was left against the garage door, the package and packing material was soaking wet. Thank God the shipper sealed the sling in a ziplock bag. Had a bayonet package that was left against the garage door all day in the rain. Surprised the damn thing wasn't rusted by the time we got home. I just dumped it in a container of oil over night, after removing the wood scales/handles.
Saturday's mail is the worse, any mail or package scheduled to arrive won't show up until Monday.
Use to be that our mail showed up around 1200, now we are lucky if it shows up by 1800. If it isn't in the mailbox by then, he won't deliver it that day.
The guy we originally had (Walt) and the girl after him (Tiffany) and the temp (Tattooed lady) were awesome. The new ones are worthless as shit. I had a package shown as delivered that wasn't here, Tiffany tracked it down and hand delivered it after hours, it along with our mail was back at the post office. This was after she had transferred off our route.
Tiffany had joined the community Facebook groups she had routes in, introduced herself, and basically did community relations. She remained a member after leaving our route. So when I asked for people in the neighborhood to check for my package, she saw my post and hunted it down.
