We, the citizens of Glen Allen, petition the Postmaster to change the mail carrier for Linsey Lakes and neighboring subdivisions by June 30, 2015.


The signers of this petition cite the following complaints regarding this route's mail carrier:


1) She very frequently delivers mail to the wrong address. Sometimes it's a close neighbor's mail and other times it's from a neighboring subdivision.


2) She leaves a "sorry we missed you slip" in mailboxes rather than getting out of the truck to deliver large packages to the door.


3) She has been observed ramming trash cans with her truck on multiple occasions so hard that damage has occurred to the trash can.


4) She has been observed running a stop sign and nearly hitting an adult resident while never looking up.


5) She consistently leaves mailbox doors open rather than ensuring the door is closed properly, often resulting in wet mail.


6) She stuffs over-sized mail into the box rather than delivering to the door even when the mail is clearly marked as "do not bend" resulting in physical damage or water damage due to rain.


7) She was observed passing a school bus and nearly hitting a child. When approached by a resident regarding the matter, she said that she was too busy.


8) She delivers notices or approaches residents regarding vehicles too close to the mailbox for one-off situations such as service vehicles or visitors parked in front of the house which blocks mail truck access to the mailbox.


9) She has been observed ignoring mailboxes if there is outgoing but no incoming mail.


10) She has been observed hitting a mailbox, knocking it over, try to set it back up and then drive off.


11) She has been observed using abusive language, specifically f-bombs, directed at a resident.


12) She has been observed yelling at a resident for writing "wrong address" on a mis-delivered piece of mail.


She has generated discontent among a large number of residents for the reasons stated above as well as imposing actual fear in some who have observed her more offensive infractions. We do not feel that she is a safe or effective carrier for our community.


There have been multiple individual complaints regarding this route's carrier made to the Glen Allen post office and the Postmaster in the past with no resolve. In fact, some residents feel they were just brushed off by the Postmaster. We demand that the Postmaster take action to change the mail carrier for Linsey Lakes and neighboring subdivisions by June 30, 2015.

We've had packages marked as delivered that were never placed in our mailbox. I have watched her deliver the mail and not put packages in that we were supposed to receive, and they were marked as delivered. In addition to that, I've been home when she's left notices that no one was home to sign for a package when, in fact, she never came to the door. I'm not sure how many issues we have to report before you finally do something about it. This is past the point of ridiculousness.

We have many issues with this postal worker. She has rammed our trash cans, left our mailbox open frequently, and hit a brand new basketball hoop we purchased. She has no concern for the speed limit or the fact children play outside. We get incorrect mail daily. We also went for a 3 month period where little to no mail was delivered and returned to sender because it was undeliverable. We have visited the post office many times with these complaints, but they have yet to be addressed.

Our mailbox is always left open, often resulting in wet mail, packages stuffed in that clearly don't fit, receiving others mail often

We get the wrong mail weekly. She never closes the mailbox, when it rains, my mail gets wet.She has run over & knocked down my trash can on several occasion because its in her path to neighbors mailbox. She does not want to have to get out of her truck. I wrote wrong "wrong house" on a piece of mail & she left me a nasty note. She speeds around the neighborhood like a crazy person. The list goes on & on

At least weekly, we are getting other people's mail. sometime it's a neighbors, sometimes it's completely random. She drives as if she "owns the road" - with no regard to the safety of children, other vehicles or personal property. As if "everything in her path is an OBSTACLE to her and a bother. We have limited parking space - we try our best to keep the path clear, but EVERY. SINGLE. TIME there is a car parked anywhere with in the 10ft radius of the mail box, we get a nasty gram and a diagram and a threat that our mail will ceased to be delivered. (I do not know if that includes the portion of our mail that is delivered to other residents in our neighborhood?) There are times while I am outside and will walk to meet her to collect my mail, she will quite gruffly say "I can't hand it to you. i have to put it in the mailbox!" Other times, she completely ignores my presence, slams the door and drives off. But on those days, I am grateful that she at least closed the door to the mailbox! While there may be many laws: curb zone, placing the mail in the mailbox - the dangerous driving and the complete rudeness are too, too much!

We continually get other residents mail. The mail carrier seems t not care about doing a good job.

I routinely receive the wrong mail from neighboring houses or even from houses quite a few streets away. She leaves the box open after delivering mail. She gets upset the 1-2 times that a car might be too close to the mailbox, acting like its a regular occurrence.
