So if the sticker didnt tip her off, then maybe the POP did???

You've heard the expression "going postal", of course. Deal with the postmaster as nicely as possible, or just follow Mame's suggestions. I don't suggest you confront her.
That's a terrible thing to say - you don't even know her. My letter carrier is very nice and thoughtful. My dad was a letter carrier - they are not all "postal" and they are not all like Cliff Claven and Newman.

Maybe you can have a bigger sticker put on it too....is there a chance that she just didn't see the sticker that said Photos?
I would think it is possible, if she is putting lots of mail in at once she may not noticed it.
Sounds like this is a regular pattern of her letter carrier, though, and it may be due to her size and not wanting to take the stairs. However, as my sister pointed out, she could easily ask the senders to label the envelope "Signature required". No reason she should have to pay extra for a post office box because someone's not reading the "DO NOT BEND" instructions on the envelopes. That would irritate the heck out of me, too, and I personally would take samples down to the local sorting office and ask them to deal with it. I would NOT speak to the carrier about this... she's obviously already ignoring the instructions.
My letter carrier always puts my neighbour's mail in my box. And I get mail for all kinds of other people mistakenly addressed to my address. By the law, they have to deliver it to me, no matter how many signs I put on my box saying "Deliveries to Name, Name, and Name only". The addressee has to have a change of address put in, which is stupid because they never lived at my house and obviously people just put the wrong address on it.
I just write "Moved" or "Not at this address" on the envelope and post it. It is tiresome, however.
My BIL is a letter carrier, too, Linkat... he gets paid for 8 hours even if he's finished in 4. Pretty good deal.
Depends on your route - my dad delivered in the worst neighborhood in the city - gangs and drugs. My dad is an odd bird though - he didn't seem to mind it too much and the people on his route liked him (he claims it was because he delivered their welfare checks).
He did get hurt pretty bad once though - when he was sitting in his mail jeep sorting his mail, some idiot (no insurance - no money of course) went speeding through a stop sign ramped into him, causing his jeep to flip and spin around and he went sailing out the door and landed on his head into the bottom of a house. His words - "lucky I landed on my head"
