Eh. I live in San Francisco and USPS was so bad that I broke down and got a PO box a few years ago. I would regularly get people's magazines and whatnot from the same house number a few blocks away. Mail between my house and both of my next door neighbors' houses gets mixed up frequently enough that my landlady put a big sign on the house with instructions for the mail carrier. You're gonna have problems with all carriers at some point. You're talking about a very labor intensive and time sensitive job. Someone's gonna get tired at the end of the day or need to meet unrealistic performance metrics. Shit happens. What put USPS over the top for me though was the PO box. That affords me a semi-anonymous address and the ability to pick up packages at my convenience. If you get a box at the Lakeshore station they're even open on Sundays.
