My wife and I were staggered further to have a different Postal Service failure dumped in our laps.
Recently, we paid our Galveston water bill as usual by check and mailed it right on time in the city's pre-printed blue return envelope. A week later, the payment envelope reappeared in our mailbox stamped "Undeliverable as Addressed."
Huh?
A first-class stamp got an envelope from our mailbox back to our mailbox. My first-class wife then hand-delivered the payment to City Hall and was told this happened frequently.
When the Galveston Post Office can't find Galveston City Hall, something needs to be said.
Unfortunately our island post office is not perfect. In my experience we sent an Express mail envelope for the cost of $27.00. In the envelope was &245.00 cash. The envelope did arrive two months later without the cash inside. The other problem that exists here on our island is, you can guarantee when it rains that we will receive rain soaked mail and local newspapers

Kudos to your first class wife for a job well done, David!
The water bill was the last one for me to pay by Autopay and NOT by check.
