File a complaint online and ask for an email response on the matter. That will most definitely get their attention. When we were away on holiday for more than a month, we had mail delivered a few times. Fortunately, the person who feeds the cats was stopping every day, so the mail was brought in. I raised the roof about it because it wasn't the first time it's happened to us.
The USPS is not perfect but I'm doubtful a private company would do any better. Once you have shareholders involved, the likelihood of profit (read: greed) changes the paradigm significantly, if not entirely.
