Well, the postal service is Modernizing throughout the developed world. My
mom lived in a 55+ community (at 90+) and had to travel about 1/4 mile to
pick up her mail at the clubhouse (where they had a bank of mail boxes).

The alternative is to raise the cost of a stamp, I suppose, to four or five
bucks to begin to cover the cost of sending millions of men and women out
into the world daily to drop junk mail in you home mailbox.

Lee Valley being used as an example.
My friend in Kamloops lives in an upscale new subdivision. Mail delivery
via a
Super Mailbox at the end of the street.
His neighbor behind him lives in an older neighborhood.
Both order the identical parcel from Lee Valley. Both pay the same price
for
shipping.
My friend has to drive 2 miles to a Postal Station and pick up his Lee
Valley
order, his neighbor just over the back fence get's his Lee Valley package
delivered right to his door.

It is like this for THOUSANDS of households in Canada.
