Refused or vacant: what’s going on with USPS deliveries?

"... I’m not happy, and I’m beginning to wonder what is happening with the internal workings of the USPS. Let me tell you about two recent events involving their delivery service.

In the first instance, on July 30, I sent some nature-themed stamps on a cover sent to my youngest grandson in Huntersville, N.C. ...Yes, there is the occasional mix-up with deliveries. And given the quantity of mail that I send and receive that is correctly delivered, I am not really looking to bash the Postal Service and their delivery service. I’d be interested in hearing if any readers have had similar experiences with their deliveries, and if so, please contact me at jmhstamp@verizon.net; or at Box 1125, Falls Church, VA 22041-0125."

This postal system later became the Post Office Department and then the U.S. Postal Service.
