I can't complain about my mail carrier other then if I don't shovel the snow path she doesn't deliver the package or my mail. What was that saying rain, snow and sleet doesn't stop the mailman from delivering. She is also good about putting mail in the wrong box. Thank goodness everyone who lives here are good about bringing it to the right person.

I've got to wash it before I work with it because it'll knock you over it stinks so bad! Has anyone else had this problem?

if it arrived wet, and it smelled of chemicals, i would be cautious about what might have gotten spilled on that package. i would wash it several times. i might even take it to a laundromat to do it. there have been cases where chemicals (insecticides, pesticides, etc) have gotten spilled on things like shipments of jeans, etc, where people have gotten chemically injured by wearing them without washing them. i would be wary of anything that smelled of chemicals--and i would try to make the carrier follow through and track the source of the wetness! i would register a complaint, and would make sure somebody heard about it. (and i would wear plastic gloves when washing it, as well.) i'm just sayin' *hangs up nurse hat, gets off soapbox*

USPS does that to me all the time! Our carrier is the one who damages it! She shoves things in our box that don't really fit, bending and folding things that say "do not bend," and even unwraps things to make them fit. No one seems to care, though.
