Gee, I guess that means that WOW! curbside boxes are not absolutely
required and there is a way in which you can apply for door slot
service
or to have your external mailbox located adjacent to your door... *:-O

Imagine that...

You can google for "definition of rural" if you don't quite understand
the concept, Evan. Not everyone lives in high rise apartments or tract
homes in the burbs.

There is no ****ing way a rural postal carrier is delivering mail to
anyone's ****ing door.

A good frend works for the post office and I talked to him about this
tonight.

Did you know the PO is set to loose billions this year.???

Saturday delivery is being cancelled and theres a proposal to elminate
wednesday delivery too.

delivery would only be mon tues thursday friday. mail is mostly just
junk mail spam

The PO is moving to centralized mailboxes, thats how all new homes
have been built in phoenix. My dad goes to te central mailbox that
must hold 70 to 100 boxes, One stop filling for the mail carrier

My carrier mentioned them wanting to do the central mailbox thing
here. Each home could for a annual fee still get home delivery.

Walking mail carriers are costly, dog attacks, slip and falls etc
etc.slow walking routes

There are BIG changes coming soon. post office wants to shed about 50%
of its workforce and rumors are they are thinking of selling their
package delivery to Fed X, who already bought their overnight and 2
day service, Thats why all Post offices have Fed X drop boxes out
front

They want to eventually close over 50% of all post offices nationwide
moving to central large ones, and farming out many mal functions to
places like grocery stores.

The day of the carrier walking the route is coming to a end, its no
longer affordable

In the town i live near, the only option is walking. *And the boxes are
on the houses next to the door. *I don't see that changing in this town..
