They stuck it right in the snowy part of my front porch, too--goofy postman! He's a nice guy, but sometimes I wonder about him, LoL! I'm sure he has his reasons. Maybe he thought the snow would cushion the packages, hehe. Anyway, fortunately the large envelope that was on the bottom--the only one touching the snow--is okay. (I'm not planning on opening up the packages until they all arrive and I can begin the sorting process, but I did open the bottom envelope because it had a tiny tear/hole and I wanted to make sure everything inside was okay and stayed nice and dry. Everything inside was okay!)

One rural delivery guy - a temp hired for the Christmas rush - was seen with an open truck-bed loaded with parcels, driving through pouring rain. Exposing the parcels to the rain, and letting them lie in puddles on the bed of his truck.

I guess the post office has rules about parcels, like airlines' rules about luggage. "If we break it, that's YOUR tough luck". Maybe insured parcels that are "over-watered" do get paid for?

Are people like that nearly brain dead, or mean? Or both? Did he expect to get away with it, or did he like being screamed at and then fired? Mad at the world and getting even, one cruel act at a time? Sometimes I don't understand some people.

Ever since then, I try to line my shipping box with one or more plastic bags, tied or taped to resist water at least a little. But they take up space.

That's my goal: a little less water on the seeds if some delivery person takes "passive-aggressive" in a more aggressive direction.
