Unusual situation - I have the carrier no other employees like. At first they just ignored me when I spoke, or threw my packages on the ground in the rain, but now they keep manually writing “hold” on my mail and haven’t delivered it for a week+ (except regular carrier’s day off)

I know I’m going to sound like every other bad customer lol but I promise I’ve done nothing except have 3-5 packages to pickup a day on average for my small business. (They typically fit in the carrier’s bag).

The whole year and a half I’ve had this carrier, they’ve ignored me. I’ll say hi or try and make small talk and they pretend I don’t exist. When I get packages delivered, they throw them on the ground exposed to the elements even if they’d fit in my box or there’s an empty plastic tub there next to it.

Last week, I went to get one stack of free shipping boxes delivered and it was pouring so I went to my door to grab them from said carrier and they made eye contact and threw them on the ground in the rain next to me.

Now they’ve started just manually writing “hold” on my mail. I filed a complaint online and the local PO called me and said no one likes that carrier and luckily they’ll be changing routes soon, and be “someone else’s problem”, and that they’d talk to the carrier because they said “they can’t be doing that”.

However, since I don’t think it’s like a formal hold in the system, and they’re literally just writing “hold” on stuff, is there anyway to get my mail in the meantime? Or do I just have to wait for them to switch routes? I guess since they’re getting scanned as “out for delivery” but never delivered, the carrier might be taking my packages / mail out with them for the day? So would I even be able to pick them up at the office? I haven’t been able to get to there anyway because I don’t currently have transportation. Have you ever encountered something like this?

I know it’s pretty unpopular at this point, but I did it twice a week for about 5 years and about once every 7-10 days for the last year and a half.

The banner in my newsfeed has been gone for like a month, and the Thursday (formerly Friday, pre-early 2026) and Sunday 10% price drops (on items over $10) no longer result in discounted $4.99 for me.

I’m so curious what they’re considering changing it to, or if they’ll just make it so everyone still has access but less often?

And I wanna know how they decide who still has access rn lol cause I want it.

Hey all, my husband used to wake me up, hand me my pill, and a fresh water and I’d take it without opening my eyes, and then go back to bed. We had a conversation about how he’s been going above and beyond for me and can’t keep doing that / how I need to be more independent, so I’m soliciting suggestions.

If I open my eyes to take it, and grab everything myself I’m awake for 30-45 minutes and I really need to sleep for an extra 60-90 after taking it. (I’ve been taking 30-60 minutes to fall asleep every night).

It’s that like keeping my eyes closed that really helps me stay asleep. I probably need some gadget but I looked for awhile and couldn’t find anything.

Also accepting helpful solutions for what to do for a small amount of water, I currently can come up with just drinking the water I bring in overnight but it makes my throat slightly itchy???
