I don’t have rural delivery where I am but our post office is one of those targeted for closure. Yippie a 10 mile round trip to get mail.

I’d rather cut postal service days down to 4 per week.

Don’t like it? Move.

Well, look on the bright side.

At least half your mail has you "Pre-Approved" for something.

And the other half says "You may have already won!"

Don’t worry that’s next. And they should put you on a RR.

I think residential deliver should be cut to three days per week. Divide the zips into two groups: MWF and TTS. Attrition would begin to elimiate personnel and equipment. Who needs all the stuffers/junk delivered every day?

Anyone have the list or where to find the list of PO in question?

Finally found a list.

The ones I’m seeing in Texas could easily be absorbed by other POs. There’s a few others that should have been on the list which are a complete waste of money and should never have been built.

It’s always been a 40 mile round trip to the PO for us but I only need to go maybe 3-4 times a year. Thankfully, we have rural service though many here have in town boxes. We used to have to go to the highway to get it but in recent years they’ve put us on their route. It wouldn’t surprise me if they went back to the highway delivery. Cutting back to 5 days would be fine as long as the two off days weren’t together like Sat and Sun.
