We are so lucky... UPS guy goes to our garage door and leaves packages in front of the door into the house...super nice guy... fedex just leaves it on the porch which is ok... usps leaves it in a bag hanging on the mail box, at the end of the drive way or leaves a note to pick it up at the post office which is open for about 1 hour a day at some random weird hour...that is usually time sensitive IRS crap...
hope you get your LMC5 module soon and get back to enjoying your C5..

It won't get things here any faster, but USPS has a program you can sign up for on their website that sends you a text every time a package is scanned and the moment the carrier drops it in your mailbox. It's free, and works great.

And here's the reason:
USPS was profitable by $313 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and operational revenue was up $233 million over the same period last year, the agency announced Friday. The growth was due in part to the temporary emergency rate increase on postal products that took effect last year, but also aided by a 14.4 percent increase in package volume.
The Postal Service still suffered a net loss of $1.5 billion in the quarter -- down from $1.9 billion in the same period last year -- due to its obligatory payments to prefund retirees’ health benefits and workers’ compensation costs. Postal officials were eager to note the agency maintains $90 billion in unfunded liabilities, and a simple fix to the prefunding requirement would not solve all of its issues.

The underrated USPS is one of the institutions that make us a great country. I'm sure they screw up sometimes but I have no complaints. They consistently provide on time delivery to us with a smile, provide passport service, free shipping boxes and envelopes. All this despite minimal support from Congress.

Going postal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Going postal (disambiguation).
Memorial of the 1986 Edmond post office shooting in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Going postal, in American English slang, means becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment.
The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1986 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1986 and 1997, more than 40 people were gunned down by current or former employees in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage.
