I thought I must be the only one, but I'm shocked to hear there are others. On my third attempt, I took my return to a mail store. I wanted to use a different delivery service, but they said UPS, FedEx, etc. only handle packages. However, after they sent it through USPS, tracking showed the IRS received my return a few days later. It cost me $7 to mail a 1st class manila envelope but it was worth it.
I had to mail some semi-important papers today, and I felt only dread as I dropped them into the mail slot at the post office. They still haven't resolved the "investigation" into my lost returns from four and two months ago. Even if they do, all I will get is my postage back. I fear the USPS is broken.
