I like my mail delivered through the door slot.
privatize, that will save the most
I get real sick and tired of the surly molasses like service at the Post Office
When I go to UPS, it is quick, efficient, neat and friendly
Certainly more effective than closing post offices.
Racists.
Didn’t they keep pretending the USPS was running as a quasi-independent company? They spend millions running ads and sponsoring stuff, like they did the Tour de France stuff, but can’t figure out how to cut the waste or raise the price of junk mail?
I added this comment only because I just saw this episode this very past Sunday and thought it relevant.
It’s a royal pain for me to get to the curb - I use a wheelchair
Yep, it is all the Republicans fault that they bled another how many billions last year?
snip for NYT article; “WASHINGTON — The financially troubled Postal Service on Friday reported a net loss of $1.9 billion in the second quarter, the same amount it lost over the same period in 2013, postal officials said.”
In actuality, one can say that the Republicans are complicit in that they have shown no inclination to trim the wings of this horrible excuse of a so-called independent agency.
I have to drive a couple miles to the post office for mail, they can walk to the road or down the block.
Think of the people who get welfare checks who will be put at increased risk by “out in the open delivery.” This is a raisis program!
The feral government spends less on performing its actual constitutional duties so it has more for the politicians and bureaucrats to steal, scam and feather their own nests.
they WON’T bring a package to my house I have to sign for. I have to drive 19 miles to the post office and get it. it does not matter if I call and say “I will be home” they still won’t bring it.
But they stuff the box full of junk every day..
In Canada, they’ve had ‘community mailboxes’ in new subdivisions for 30 years. Effective before the end of next year, that will extend to ALL urban residential delivery. Businesses will still get regular delivery. All the fault of CUPW, the postie’s union.
My neighborhood has had communal mailboxes since it was built in 1987. I think there’s six or seven locked boxes to each unit. I walk across the street to get my mail. A few years ago they replaced the original ones with units that have two larger boxes on the bottom for packages. If you have something bigger they leave a key to the package box in your normal letter delivery box, which opens it but cannot be removed by residents. You leave the key in the lock and the letter carrier takes it out the next day.
I could see these being an issue in places with severe weather, and for handicapped or elderly people. Otherwise it’s no big deal.
Unless and until you fix the Union issue nothing will ever change in the US Postal Service, everything else is just like giving aspirin to a cancer patient.
Your health care under Obamacare will be run by some of the same people who oversee the US Postal Service.
Where I live the community boxes have been broken into and mail stolen,Boxes and locks repaired.Again,break ins.
The post office no longer has home delivery ,you have a PO box at the post office.
Not sure of the guidelines but centeralizing mail drops has been going on for several years.
