Some of my FedEx orders get left at the post office and I have to drive into town to get them.
I live in the boonies and I think FedEx doesn’t want to get their truck dirty or something. My wife did tell USPS to not leave packages at our mail box that is a third of a mile from my house. So a package gets shipped FedEx to my wife and I then need to drive 7 miles round trip to get the package. That is if thee post office is still open.
How cool is that?
I call it one of the costs of living in a rural area.
If government didn't subsidize rural living fewer people would live there and pristine environments would be naturally preserved by action of the free market.
Think about the ways government destroys the environment. Two biggies are:
** government subsidized roads
** tuition-free government schools with no-fee bus rides
My husband and I like to ski. It is inevitable, as we drive up the mountain on government subsidized roads, we see two things servicing the multi-million dollar homes perched on the delicate alpine slopes:
** the USPS
** government school buses
Oh....And..Many many thanks to all of you Freepers who can not afford to ski for the** many** subsidies that make skiing so much cheaper for my husband and me. We especially like the “Ski with Park Ranger”. /s
