It’s been years since I bought a stamp.
My Dad was a lifelong postal service worker. I have an affinity for the USPS.
That said, I have been doing all mailing business on line for years. I grab their boxes in bulk and print out the labels at home. Easy Peasy. (Actually, much easier than Fed Ex or UPS.)
I order stamps on line as well.
I go into a local office only to put the boxes on the counter.
I understand the need for smaller offices in very rural locations. But consolidating offices seems like a natural move; Cut the staff, maintenance, and real estate expenses. Close down on Saturday.
This is stuff folks would not really notice, and it would make the organization more efficient. We don’t need to eliminate the place. Just make it easier to operate.
I purchase stamps at least twice a year, usually for Christmas cards, birthday cards, and hand written notes. I send packages every now and again. I live in a small town of around 10,000 folks. The people at the post office are great, and friendly. We know our mailman by name. It’s probably unusual these days to have such a nice place, but I hope our PO stays open.
