No, people in Pawlet, VT would still get their mail delivered into their mailbox just like they do now ... it would just be Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday, instead of six days a the week.
Whatever their schedule is, on their “off” days their mailman would be delivering to some other small town.
I was agreeing with you; what I meant was the USPS is required to deliver to all addresses. Under privatization that might not necessarily continue. As for retail post offices some are being closed down but hopefully it won’t be too much of a hardship. (There are options like stamps via
your PC printer etc...or would it mean driving 30 miles
away to mail a package via USPS if smaller offices
were to be shuttered?
The facilities I was talking about that are being consolidated are big distribution facilities not the smaller
offices.
