Any time the law sets things like "reasonable" it's a quagmire. For every utterance of "reasonable" in law you can be sure over $1B of laywer fees have been (or will be) spent.
I think the answer here is "don't do things that are borderline (un)reasonable"

> It'd be interesting to see a competitor that made it their goal to handle packages with more care There are "personal courier services" or "white glove courier services" where you hire a specific person to move your package from point A to point B. They stay with your package the whole time, and either carry it on a plane or drive it themselves. It's expensive, obviously, but the service does exist. Just like you,…
Pharmacies use this type of personal courier service to deliver medicine filled in the store to a patient's home (since shipping prescription drugs FedEx is a great way for grandpa to run out of heart medicine). This service is often provided free of charge so it's worth checking out.

In my opinion there is a massive amount of waste moving through USPS and the organization could use some serious cuts in order to take…
You've done everything except talk to the one human being involved who appears at your residence every single day. If I was your letter carrier and knew you felt this way I'd honestly be hurt that you didn't bother to ask me about any of it. > the organization could use some serious cuts Miss the part about them being the backbone of package delivery in this country? Or the part where there's nobody to replace them?…
A while ago my wife applied for a home equity loan. At some point I got a call from someone claiming to be from the bank she had applied through (I forget which one), calling to make sure I approved the loan since the home is in both our names.

The whole Microsoft Office suite online just feels like hacky code on top of more hacky code. And combine with how your account can also be signed into your PC, and then also signed into applications. I have a work email, and two personal emails that all make use of Microsoft products. What a mess it is managing the accounts and the different systems. The business emails and accounts just seem sloppy and seem to work…
Add to this the different varieties of their apps. The whole MS thing is a mess imo also because it cannot decide if it is for enterprise or for personal use. Some colleagues had to reinstall outlook, and after that things did not work properly. What actually happened was that they had googled and downloaded "outlook" from microsoft's website, instead of installing the m365 suite version. Which is basically a differe…
