I've never had the kind of troubles you all are
relating with the post office since I began 
getting cels by mail order three years ago.  Of
course, now that I've said that...  :)  I've 
been pretty fortunate so far in that before we
moved, I had all of my packages delivered to my
work address and then after we moved, I was home
all the time and often met the postman.  If I 
wasn't there, they were left by the door, never
shoved into our tiny mailbox.  Once, I even
received an EMS package on a Sunday!  Now that I'm
working again, I am having all of my packages
delivered to my large, very corporate address. :)
I did have an order get lost a long time ago 
during the UPS strike, tho...
